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?

Often, I said "hello", and he/she said "hello" back. Then, we had nothing to talk about. It seems that I don't have the talent to start a topic.

Once I was in a mall. A guy told me “You are the most beautiful girl I’ve seen TODAY”... I didn’t know if it was a compliment, because it was still early in the day…

may be some of men consider it as a good way to talk to someone whom they are interested in, but as a woman…to be honest, it seems to me it's really funny,

it drives me to laugh a lloud if a man comes to me and uses these funny pick-up lines…

anyway, may be you have to use it if u r really attracted to someone…

Good LucK!!

actually I dont like saying the general words like listed 4 words above. I think the most suitable one is using any salutation and add a subject which is open for a good conversation….
