How to Invent Pick-Up Lines

Pick-up lines probably aren't the greatest way to meet your future life partner, but if you're falling flat in the romance department, the right line may produce surprising results. If you're running out of brilliant lines to use on your potential victims, uh mates, try inventing some of your own. But first, check out some of the tried and true lines for inspiration.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Innuendo may work. Or not, depending on your appearance, your delivery, and the object of your attraction. To be safe, though, any reference to your pants is probably not a good idea. Try flattering the woman instead of flaunting your own goods.

  2. Step 2

    Go off the wall and blame the voices in your head for making you come over and introduce yourself. You may get extra points for not being afraid to make a fool of yourself.

  3. Step 3

    Try an element of intrigue, something along the lines of whispering "Are you Larissa, my contact?"

  4. Step 4

    Watch movies for inspiration. Remember Tom Cruise and friends' serenade of "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'?" to Kelly McGillis in "Top Gun?" How about taking advice from romantic guru Will Smith in "Hitch?" Try a little romance. It may work.

  5. Step 5

    Add in some cheese to your repertoire. The cheesiest of lines--"what's your sign?"--may actually work these days, because it's almost guaranteed a laugh, which will disarm the pick-upee. A secondary pick-up line may be necessary after the initial laugh, as she waits to see if you're really that lame.

  6. Step 6

    Avoid comparing him or her to foods or drinks. These are guaranteed to elicit a groan and have a high rejection factor. Also lines that make reference to religion are generally dangerous for pick-up artists.

  7. Step 7

    Be genuine and just say "hi." Don't laugh. Hey, this might actually work. You could be the only guy in the bar not actively trying to bed someone, and actually attract a nice girl who's looking for someone who won't use a pick-up line such as "I lost my bed...can I sleep in yours?"
