Pick-up Lines

Lesson

It's always hard to start a conversation with someone who you're interested in.  How do you do it?

There are some famous pick-up lines that you probably shouldn't use, like:

  1. "Do you come here often?"
  2. "Do you have a map?  I keep getting lost in your eyes."
  3. "If I could rewrite the alphabet, I'd put U and I together."
  4. "Do you have any raisins?  How about a date?" 

Maybe it's best to say something normal, like "Hello."

What do you think?

Hello! I think it is very nice to be original if you want to call someone out. These pick-up lines are funny…but I think they are interesting only for teenage girls…

actually I liked those lines but I will never ever ever say one of them to a guy cause usually guys come to talk to me not the oppisit & I’ve never tried to go to talk a guy . i don’t know why maybe I’m alittle shy.

I think they great but in my country if you overwhemled the girls, it will scare them away.

I think I will continue to use boyish charms on them too.

Yes exactly, first just say something simple to try thenwhen you break the ice already, you can be freedom to talk anything hehehe.

Once i met one spanish guy in shopping center, i wanted to come over and talk to him but i didnt know how i have to do. So i "lie and wait" until he nearly past by, i tried to  reach the box of milk on the highest shelf even i didnt want milk hehehe and he came over : Can i help you? LOL

Great, after that the conversation was going on blah blah blah LOL

Is that great?

Ok guys … listen up.

 Try this 

You: Hi my name is __. what's your name?

Her: __.

You: Hi ___. Nice to meet you.

 

From there you can say anything funny (memorize a short but funny joke, not a sexist joke!

By then you have broken the ice and you can relax and just chat.

What do you guys think?
