Me either!

 

[Semper Fi]

I don't. :cof:

Ohhhhhhhhhh, THAT's the secret....

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Gently. I corral them with one hand and scoop them with the other.

I believe those are ducklings, we're talking about chicks here, come on.

Nope, those are chicks. Look at the beaks.

1. Be yourself.

2. Be confident in yourself. It doesn't matter if you're scared to death, be confident in yourself.

3. Don't use cheesy pickup lines.

4. Don't do this in front of them: :gross2:

5. Repeat as necessary.

 

[Nienna]

I don't. :cof:

Hey, you stole my line!

A guy once asked me, "Do you think I could ever get a girl like you?"
I had to wonder... 1) what did he mean by "a girl like me"? and 2) what did he want to "get her" for.

If you can answer those two questions about the girl of your interest, you may have an idea of how to "pick her up."

Nobody is worse - erp...no GUY is worse at picking up women than I.

I've had women take pitty upon me from time to time - but when I'm around a woman I like I clam-up...get nervous...goofy...a bit sweaty.

Nothing like confidence upon first impression!

Did I sound too cocky?

How do you pick up chicks?

With my arms, ZZZZZZZIIIIING!

Seriously, though, I couldn't answer that. I really turn into Woody Allen when I'm trying to impress a girl: I get all nervous and nerdy and try to make jokes that are just awkward and unfunny. But, hey, some chicks go for that.

Mostly, it's a matter of being yourself, though. Don't try to "pick up" chicks, unless you're just looking for a quick bonking. Just talk, be yourself, why bother trying to pretend you're something you're not, y'know?

 

[Shattered]

Personally, I'd start by refraining from calling them "chicks".

Naw, I meant that pick up line. It's like, hey, I don't think I could get you, wanna pamper my confidence even though you don't know me? I understand he was trying to be sweet, but I would doubt it would work much.. then again, I suppose it's possible I don't know what works as far as pick-up lines...

Ok, Spano.

I stumbled upon some of the best ways to do it by accident. Treat the girl like you would one of your friends. Don't suck up to her. In fact, act like you just want somebody to talk to rather than a date, though maybe show a little intrest in the latter. If she starts the dating game, seduction game, etc., call her on it, and never answer the "date interview" questions seriously (if she asks what you drive, just say "a beige Yugo" with a straight face). Try not to put yourself down, even as a joke, either.

To sum up:
1. Be Confident
2. Be Yourself
3. Be Funny
and above all, do NOT act like you're desperately trying to impress.

This approach has two advantages. The first and foremost is that if you're just acting like you always do when you're around her, you don't have the pressure of pretending, because she likes you for who you really are, rather than some facade you put on. The second advantage is the forbidden fruit aspect. Desirable women are used to holding men in the palms of their hands. If you keep trying to impress them, you're just like everybody else. If you communicate (remember Hitch, 90% of what you say has nothing to do with the words themselves) that it won't bother you if she doesn't like you, she'll wonder why and try to get you to like her enough that it would bother you if she didn't like you. It plays to the old adage that you'll like something more if you have to work for it. Women who can "get any guy they want" will be puzzled with and will often pursue the one they can't just get by batting their eyelashes.

Now, how did I, a womanless, nerdly loser, stumble upon this? A friend of mine was moving away from the area and his going away party was at a night club. I don't normally frequent night clubs, but this one had a "no smoking" policy and didn't seem to focus its decor on sex, so I figured I'd humor my friend and attend. I was the only guy in the group with no girlfriend, and when the others went over to the dance floor, I sat and watched the table, purses, etc. Whenever this happened, I'd talk to some of the girls at nearby tables. I wasn't really interested in any of them, as the night club crowd isn't my type of "hunting grounds," and most of them were engaged in activities which are not typical of the virtuous, church-going crowd that I'd like to find my future wife in. Then, there's the fact that I don't like to move straight from first sight to a romantic relationship, meaning I don't "pick up" chicks. However, they were interesting to talk to. Now, what I found is that these girls kept talking to me and seemed to be...interested...in me. I was asked several times to dance, and always copped out with the "I've gotta watch my friends' purses" excuse, and each time that happened, I got a phone number, without even asking. My friends were speechless. It also seemed that the less romantically interested I acted, the more they liked me.

I ended up calling all of them back and invited them to church. Most thought I was joking. Three actually showed up. One still goes, and if she keeps going, I may actually follow up with what was started that night in the club. I mean, she is quite attractive and the only reason I didn't go for her in the first place is that she didn't live up to my moral and spiritual standards, though that seems to be changing.

Eh, but what do I know. I'm a nerd who is annoyed by Valentine's Day, thinks the "dating game" is a bunch of bullcrap, and has never had a steady girlfriend. However, I think the fact that I'm comfortable with that works to my advantage, as wierd as that sounds. :huh:
