Usually guys memorise all the lines, and then they get caught when they have to improvise. Or worse, they emulate guys they've seen on tv or movies. Or girls. Whatever.

I'm great at improvising, only I have quite a weird and sometimes crude sense of humour and sometimes it can get unusual responses if people don't know me very well.

I think the key is just asking them out. You do them a courtesy by doing so and show a little guts. And its better to get an answer and then move on.

What's wrong with the Kadoonk! method?

It's so simple even some of the mental defectives on Poly could use it.

All you do is walk up to the girl you like and Kadoonk! plant one right on her. You'd be surprised at how often it works.

And for women it has 99% probability of success since men are so desperate they'd do a pig in knickers.

Why buy her a drink? There's usually 100 other suckers in the place that will buy her a drink, and if she will do whatever with you just because you bought her a drink, it doesn't say much about her worth or value does it.

Don't buy her a drink - why should you anyway. See if you can blag one out of her.

Although if the reason you are talking to her is because you just crashed into her sending her drink flying you can buy her one. D'oh.

Actually I find pubs and clubs awful for meeting women anyway. Work, gym, lectures, friends of friends all offer better possibility IMO.

At uni it was easy to meet girls everywhere all the time. Now it's harder because I work in a tiny company and there aren't enough people here. Oh... except for the band thing of course.

I was doing Astrophysics, it had a much higher female ratio to normal physics, and those girls shared houses or whatever with other girls on other coursesso you can meet them that way. Also I had friends who did other courses that had loads of girls on them. And at uni you could go up to anyone in a student bar and introduce yourself. Especially in the first term, then you meet loads of people to keep in touch with.

Comp Sci's got a terrible male/female ratio. What's worse, a lot of the Comp Sci women already have arranged marriages set up. Maybe I'd have better luck if I took a couple of EE courses...

More of them pick it as a course and they like it more when you tell them that's what you did. Probably for the same reason I picked it, because space and stuff is interesting to everyone.

Start people watching with her, and make fun of the various "pickup lines" you hear being fired off around you. Make up a few of your own (horrible) ones, and "pretend" you're using them (the worse the better), making fun of "those idiots."

Example:

* Velociryx looks disgusted at the latest pickup line by the guy at the end of the bar. Points the offending cretin out to the lady sitting near.

"I *really* hate that....no imagination whatsoever....he may as well stumble up to the lady he's after and say....h...hey baby, I'm a f....feces....what's your sign?"

Ice broken, and you set yourself apart as being a person who simply wouldn't stoop to using cheesy lines.

-=Vel=-


I have actually done something similar. I approached a girl I had seen around and said " I'm supposed to have some line like ( and I rattled off a couple of awful ones) but I hate lines so I'll just be straightforward. I thought you were cute and wanted to talk to you and get to know you better"


I have found that variations on the last sentence have been very successful. In one sentence you have let her know:

a) you like her in not the "just friends" way
b) you are not TOTALLY full of crap
c) you have the confidence to say what you are thinking, and
d) you want to talk to her

IF you follow up with a question about something you know she can talk about, you should be fine. Pick easy questions first but ones where she has to do the talking. If she asks about you, answer as briefly as possible and end your answer with anotheer question for her. before you know it, you have been talkoing for 20 minutes and she is having a good time ( almost everyone enjoys talking about themselves). Breal things off with . . I really enjoyed our chat . . . perhaps we could continue it saturday over coffee?

Warnings
1. 35 year old married guy giving the advice

2. This works mainly to get a conversation and a date-- if looking to get laid you will likely have to be more aggressive/ suggestive .
