Check out the scene and target romantic prospects. Study their clothes or body language to determine whether to use a comic or sensual approach. For instance, a guy wearing a funny T-shirt will welcome humor. A guy wearing a beret is ready for romance.

Select a few pick-up lines to choose from at the moment of truth. Ask friends, look online or dream up your own opener.

Deliver your funny, romantic or down-to-earth opening line with a tone of casual expectation. That way you can advance or retreat with panache once you get a response.

Leave the door open. Guys can change their minds as well as girls. A "no" response to your pick-up line requires a nod and a smile, not a defensive reaction.

Go for extra points. Don't drop the ball once you've made a complete pass. A "yes" response means advance the conversation as far as you can take it or get out on the dance floor and let your body do the talking.

Tips & Warnings
Feel free to be aggressive. Lots of guys are shy, but if they're at a club or a party, they're showing that they are open to meeting new people. Go for it!
A pick-up line that works on a girl might not work on a guy. Pay special attention to how you approach your romantic target physically.
Avoid pick-up lines that state your superiority in the love department. Most guys think they own that domain.
Guys hitting on guys may suffer violent reactions if the romantic targets perceive your interest as a threat rather than a compliment.
Girls hitting on guys should beware of a too-enthusiastic response. You're the initiator, so insist on your boundaries.
