Pick up lines, they are snubbed in our society just as often as yo mama jokes. But with the right execution, a pick up line just might be what is needed to jump start a conversation. The point of a pickup line is to a) make the recipient laugh and ease the tension of a first conversation or b) flatter the recipient into wanting to talk more. Most pick up lines out there though are raunchy or cheesy, two things that are NOT hip when making a first impression. Even if your only intention is to take someone home with you, saying so isn’t bold, in fact its old, and a complete turn off. When it comes to a pick up line its all about content and execution. If what you are saying is completely lame, don’t expect a good response. And even if what you are saying is brilliant but you lack the luster to pull it off, you might as well keep your mouth shut. Remember; don’t be afraid to make a fool out of yourself! Most women claim to be more attracted to a sense of humor than good looks alone. So if you are able to make a girl laugh, you’ll be in like flint. For your reading pleasure, here is my Top 10 list of the hippest pick-up lines. Feel free to memorize or revise and put them to good use: 10. I think I might be gay, but would you be willing to prove me wrong? This is especially effective in the hippie and electro clash social circles, where free love and experimentation are not uncommon, nor is it uncommon to bat for both teams! 9. Damn sugah! Slow down...I’m diabetic! If you throw in a tea spoon of charisma and a pinch of charm, this pick up line is golden for at least a laugh. 8. They call me coffee, cuz I grind so fine! Speaking of, want to grab some? This takes some serious charisma to pull off, but if you can say it in the right setting, you might get a coffee date out of it. 7. I have been reading up on Global warming and I’m convinced that you’re so hot you might be the cause. Do you hear that? Its hippies and environmentalist swooning everywhere. 6. Do you carry another weapon with you besides your eyes? Giving the female a power boost is a conversation boost. 5. Hi, have you got a boyfriend? (If no,) So, you’re saying I have a chance? Girls will be impressed by your humble approach. 4. Hey I just realized this, but you look a lot like my next girlfriend. Confidence is key, but be sure not to be cocky. That’s definitely not a turn on. 3. Hi, I'm writing a term paper on the finer things in life, and speaking of fine things…can I interview you? This line is clever; you’ll get extra points for being bold and unique. 2. Hey beautiful...that is your name right? Watch as the cheeks turn crimson. This sly compliment is sure to be a great conversation starter. 1. Hey, how’s it going? Do you see my friend over there? He wants to know if you think I’m cute. This pick-up line is effortless. You’ll probably get a laugh from the girl and nab her undivided attention. If you can muster up the confidence to approach a girl (or most likely a group of girls because we all know girls travel in packs), you might consider using one of these pick up lines. If anything, you are sure to get a smile or a laugh—and probably a phone number or a decent conversation out of it. If you crash and burn, your best bet is to gracefully bow out and leave before the “pack” devours you. - Kristel -
