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?

uh…. how i hate pick up line, especially when i am out clubbing with friends and some guys just pop up, chat for a while and asking such a fool questions like 'is there anyone will be mad if i am talking to you?' or straight away asking if i have a boyfriend. Its like….what the hell. Just hello, a hand shake and lots of laughter is good enoughLaughing
