The point of this thread is to share tips on picking up girls, something a lot of guys find daunting, but also a crucial life skill, not just for meeting a girl, but building character. If you can pick up with confidence, it usually means your social skills will improve across the board.

I'd like to steer clear of complex methods you find on the web and keep it simple and natural. If you want complex methods, Uncle Google can provide plenty. I've read about a lot of famous methods, but unfortunately they're not for me.

This is something I've been working on for a while, and I realise most guys have different approaches.

I simply approach and begin talking as normal. It's mostly a genuine conversation, with no real 'pick up' line used. Usually it's just a simple "Hi, how are you?" or perhaps I'll comment on something around us or ask for a lighter. I believe it's not just what you say, but how you say it. This is my current style, and in a few months it might be something completely different.

A friend of mine prefers the dance floor where there's less talk, more movement. This isn't for me. I rely on my talking to communicate. Hence I don't do well with non-English speaking girls where talking has to be watered down to suit their level of English. I can't express myself on this level.

Remember, we're all nervous on the inside, the trick is to hide it.

Anyway, there's more to say, but I'll keep it there for now.

I feel 'Hi, how are you?' is sometimes a bit strong and a bit too random if that makes any sense.

The way I do it, is like 'Hey, I like your shirt/sweater/whatever' and they'll be a bit flattered and if you ask where they got it, the conversation opens very easy.

Outside:

  • "Excuse me, I know you're probably in a rush, but your beauty really caught my attention - if you don't mind take my number down, so we can talk whenever you're free?"
  • "Sorry but it's going to sound brash but are you single?"
  • "You've got the time?"

Indoors:

  • -at restaurant in line for food- "What're you ordering, my mind's drawing a blank." OR "Can this line get any slower?"
  • -making eye conact- "You've really got beautiful eyes. Where're you from?"

"Hey what's up?" "Hey, how are you?" It takes two to conversate and if her response is less than unfavourable (such as an unenthusiastic, "nothing"), then that's a clear indication that we could never have a successful relationship.

I agree with this. However I don't always use the "Hey, how are you?" approach, only in some situations.

Yeah, I mix it up every now and then depending on the context.

Just have a normal conversation. Or try a pick up line like, "On a scale from 1 to America how free are you on Saturday?" Sadly I won't be able to use this anymore. DAMN YOU! *shakes fist*

On a more serious note, it depends on the situation really. I don't focus too much on what I say, it's how I say it and my posture. Compliments are okay if you don't overdo them. With groups, sometimes a simple "Hi, my friend's a real dork and he's had to cancel our meet-up and you seemed like cool people. I'm James, how do you know each other?" does the trick.

Depends on the girl. If she's more social and easy, just talk to her and get friendly and be nice, and also attractive (the last one is important).

Of course I find it best to be friendly with all girls and try to seem close and listen to them, be attentive. Boom, they love you (but you have to be attractive).

Sorry, shallow world we live in but being attractive is a big part. Or funny, but then you just get stuck in the friend zone.

I'm not very intentional with it and do not put much of a strategy behind it. As such, I am not capable of detailing in detail the methods to any success I may or may not claim to have had. I suppose "go with the flow" works best as a method if pushed to the point.

I'm married so I don't have a pick up style. But if I needed to I would say hi or comment on something happening at the time. You know, the same way you start a conversation with anyone, male or female.

Just look at them like this, works a charm!!

[spoiler] :P In all seriousness though, the "Hey, how are you?" is a good way to start. It shows you aren't trying to hard, as well. [/spoiler]

I ask, "Do you work out, or are you naturally veiny?" I forget where I saw this, but I've found it to be a great line because there are only two possible outcomes. 1. She says 'yes', and the compliment gives me a leg to stand on. 2. She says 'no' and I back away because not only does not work out, but she's also veiny. That's just gross.

I don't think so as long as they are close enough that you aren't talking across people. You will have material to talk about such as where she's going and such.

But isn't that slightly stalkerish to ask someone where they are going? I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable but how are you supposed to know?! :(

I have never hit on a girl. They hit on me. True story. Not very often though :(

I just act cute & innocent and they start coming on to me sometimes. It works somewhat. Almost.
