Most husbands don’t need to pick up their own wives. That’s usually something you try to do with a stranger you’ve never met before. When a guy tries to pick up a girl at a party, he goes up to her and starts talking to her, and tries to be as charming as possible. If he succeeds, he might get her phone number or convince her to go on a date with him.
Simon Baker, who stars in the The Mentalist, says he still feels like he’s trying to pick his wife up. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t know each other. It just means he still feels nervous around her sometimes, and wants to impress her.
There are different ways you can try to pick someone up. Some think it’s best to just be yourself and try to get to know the other person. Others like to use pick up lines, or cheesy compliments. Has anyone ever tried to pick you up? What do you think is the best way to pick someone up?
