"I know they say that milk does the body good, but DAMN baby, how much have you been drinking??"
"Excuse me, does this napkin smell like chloroform?"
Pick-up lines have been around forever, and there's a reason, guys sometimes need help approaching a lady. And yes I say it's for guys, because the only pick-up line a woman needs to get a guy attention usually is "Hi".
Now, there are good pick-up lines and bad ones.. ones that will get you a smile and ones that will get you a slap or a roll of the eyes followed by a cold shoulder, let's look at the bad ones first... mainly because they are more fun.
It's true, women are attracted to humor, but throwing out a sexual innuendo into your pick-up line is a bad move. Don't walk up to a lady and say something like,"Is it hot in here or is it just you?", "That shirt is pretty becoming on you, of course if I were a shirt I would be to", "Mind if I fall madly in bed with you?" or "Are your pants made out of mirrors? cause I can see myself in them". You might as well say, "Nice shoes, wanna f***?" or "How drunk are you?". At least you would be straight to the point. Women don't like to be seen as pieces of meat, a little wooing can go a long way and telling her that you lost your teddy bear and want to sleep with her is not going to do the trick. But humor will go a long way. But remember, if you are not funny.. do not attempt them.. the awkwardness will only magnify when you have to repeatedly tell her "get it?"
Always be original with your lines as well. No one wants hear one that sounds like you use it on everyone, like, "Was that an earthquake or did you just rock my world", "You eyes are the same color as my Porche" or "I may not be a genie but I can make all your dreams come true". Also don't over exaggerate if you are going to compliment, "How does it feel being the most beautiful woman in the room?", as pretty as we may feel at that moment, women always think that there is someone prettier.
The ones that work at the ones that are going to be original or sincere. Complimenting a girl on her shoes or personality or interests is bound to get you more of a chance than insinuating sex. Offer to buy her a drink or a place to sit. Just make sure that you are aware of her body language, if she is smiling at you, flipping her hair, and turning her body towards you, you are golden. On the flip side, if she is turning her back to you and trying to strike up conversations with someone else... graciously back down and find another victim.. I mean lady.
