You sweep into the club, walk up to the bar, and are immediately encircled by a swarm of admiring strangers (models, maybe?). There's a short fight for your phone number, and you happily escort the hottest honey home.
Yeah right! And then you wake up.

The following is an excerpt from an online magazine, I hope it helps:

In real life, most of us feel more like a major dud than the mack daddy when we're trying to meet people. But with our advice, you'll be smooth operating in no time.

Don't take yourself too seriously

Most people - at least, the reasonably attractive and clearly sane ones - have been approached by enough strangers to know it's a pick-up. Trying to be sauve will only make you look stupid. Forget those tired, old pick-up lines and go for something original that will make him or her laugh. (One we've heard that we love: "I'm going outside to make out. Care to join me?")

Create some mystique

It's a little early for overly formal introductions, discussions on why your job sucks, and a depressing recounting of the tragic death of your childhood pet. Give your lust object at least a few minutes of your best banter (time for all those witty observations on the drink special or the DJ's inexplicable taste for bad disco tunes). Once you've got them smiling and interested, it's time to...

Get out when you're ahead

It's that whole idea of always leave 'em wanting more. Before he or she starts scanning the room in indifference, excuse yourself to visit the bathroom, regroup with your friends or even flirt with a rival. Be a little bit of a challenge.

Close the deal

Obviously, just making a superficial connection isn't enough - you want to see this person again, right? Honesty is the best policy at this point, so can the canned lines and stick with a simple, "I'd like to get to know you better, could I call you sometime?" It doesn't hurt if you can include something you talked about earlier, say, mentioning you'd like to invite him or her to a concert by a band you discussed.

 

I was talking (joking) with a female acquaintance about my dating days (a long time ago). I bragged that while most men had to wear cologne, I had to wear repellent. She replied, "its still working". Ouch!

Ask a girl to go out to eat but don't say where.

When your rolling ask her what she feels like eating which of course she'll throw back at you. When she says, "I don't know, what do you want to have" you say room service.

 

amateur tactics...

 

Nice one. Dono i want to vote for wesley clark. And how about the cowboys.

 

no you ask her if she wants to go for a pizza and a ***** and when she says no, you say "What you don't like pizza?"

 

I'm glad I don't need to worry about that right now.

 

I want to learn more about Clark, but he has a good resume. I'm pleased with the Cowboys performance so far, but I'm torn about the next game - I like the boys to win, but I'd like to see Emmitt run for 250.

Yeah I would like to se emmitt kill them but i don't think arizona has a oline.

 

i didn't really have to use any of those. i got really lucky, found the girl of my dreams and we clicked. i like it that way. but before then i would always meet girls at partys and stuff like that, and in the end i would always find us either outside or in a room by ourselves talking, then when it was getting late we would part ways with numbers in hand. i guess i got lucky and never really got flat out rejected, i could always read when girls weren't interested.

 

If you're married - it shows. You have it made in the shade, bubba!

If you're not - pretend you are! You will instantaneously become a wanted man...

I don't know why, but it seem to work every time!
If you're untouchable, and un-haveable you become some mysterious property that is wanted real bad, because someone evidently wanted to keep you for their very own....


I was married five hours and two ladies wanted me right then.

HELL! We were just stopping for a game of pool on the way home from the reception.... (at a country bar)


Had I known it worked that-a-way, I'd have lied like a used car salesman and skipped all of the formalities!

So my advice is to wear a big old plain looking gold ring, and act like you ain't even interested. Shoot - act TIRED, and make like your hips are sore....

Works like a charm!

*winkezz*

 

You are right on the money with that one Greywolf. I've been married 12 years and noticed the same thing within a couple of days of tying the knot. Like you said I would have been wearing a gold band years before if I'd known it was that easy.

 

oh how nice it is to learn from others mistakes

 

Forget about the props (wedding rings) and face reality. Some guys have IT and, unfortunately, most guys don't. I don't know exactly what IT is, but IT appears to allow certain men to cast spells on members of the opposite sex. I knew several guys that could charm the pants off the ladies no matter where we went. Whenever we went to a place, this one guy would say to me, "Watch this, I'm going to make this her night." Sure enough, he'd pull it off, every time. The best thing I can compare it to is fishing. They say that 10% of the anglers catch 90% of the fish. Same goes for guys. The 10% with IT get 90% of the women. There ought to be a law against this.

 

When I was in college, they did a poll on pickup lines. Bottem line was.....girls liked, "Hi". Nothing else....not hello, wassup, hey good lookin or any other crap. I used to say stuff like, "if I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" Sometimes it worked....more often not.

So I just tried saying "Hi" and walk on by. It worked lots of times. Got asked to dance more than usual and had more conversations and phone numbers than usual. Simplicity works!
