Exploring Xanga today, I was inspired by this
post by

I know I've read and seen and heard my fair share of cheesy, strange and just plain bad pickup lines, including but not limited to...
Drunken guy who wanted a lay:“Gurrrrrl, want me to make a cherry pop or a banana cream for you?”
Sort of cute, but unoriginal: “I lost my teddy bear, can I sleep with you?”
A quote I was sent by a guy interested in rapping:“Love is a sensation, caused by a temptation, to feel penetration. A guy sticks his location in a girl's destination, to increase the population for the next generation. Did you get my explanation, or do you need a demonstration?”
Semi-clever, but slap-inducing:“How about you sit on my lap and we’ll talk about the first thing that pops up?”
In fact, I don't think there are very many good pick-up lines. The very fact that anyone would be using one is a sign that they can't think of anything else interesting (or less obnoxious, anyway) to say.
I do remember one guy that was talking to me in a club and said something along the lines of, “When I’m older, I know I’ll look back on all of my best memories and I’ll think of the day I get married, the days my children were born, and the day I met you…”
That was pretty good. But he didn’t just start off with that – we were talking for a while before he said that. That lapse of time was what made the line seem much more flattering, rather than just annoying or corny.
So, how to spark a girl’s interest? Well, my first suggestion would be to avoid pick-up lines like the plague. Even, “Hi, my name is Bob,” is better than, “I’d like to name a multiple orgasm after you.” And the “hi” is much more likely to get a voiced response in return, rather than a knee in the balls.
One of my best guy friend’s usual way to get a girl’s phone number is to go up to her, tell her he’s doing a survey on something or other, and ask her opinion. After this, he’s usually able to get a conversation going about the topic at hand… And after a few minutes, he’ll tell her he has to go, but ask her for her phone number so they can finish the conversation. That’s actually how he got his current girlfriend.
What are some pickup lines that have actually worked for you? What wouldn't you mind hearing as a pickup line?

Someone once asked me, "Are you Greek?"
My response: "No..."
Him: "Because you sure are a goddess!"
Yeah, cheesy no? >.>
Shameless plug:
I can't say pickup lines really work, but if they did, they're the 2 minute round in my Meeting New People post.
I've never had a pickup line actually work, and no girl has ever hit on me, pickup line or not. I look forward to hearing what has worked from other people though...
@TheSpaceBass@xanga - sweet!
I like the rap/pickup line/request for sexual demonstration one.
@Angelina_Everlong@xanga - So cute!!!
"You look like sex."
Yeah, he was pretty damn drunk.
No it didn't work.
This one requires two people:
Have one guy go up to the girl. He introduces himself and says, "Hi. You see my friend over there?" *points over to other friend as other friend waves shyly* "Yeah, he's a little shy, but he wanted to know if you think I'm cute?"
Some other ones:
"Did it hurt?" *did what hurt* "When you fell from heaven."
"Girl, if you were a booger, I'd pick you."
*check her shirt tag* "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just checking .... Yep, made in heaven."
"Are your legs tired? Because you were running through my mind all night."
"Do you take karate? Because your body is kickin'!"
"Nice shoes... wanna fuck?"
And this one is my personal favorite in a cute, corny kinda way:
"You can fall off a building. You can fall out of a tree. But the best way to fall is in love with me."
a few years ago, i had just met a guy because he stopped my friend & i when we were walking down the street. & we just started talking.
there was a lull in the conversation so i just blurted out "so... do you believe in love at first sight?.. or should i walk by again?" that made him laugh & we started going out, it didn't last though. but it sure did work for the moment. haha.
idk.. i think pick-up lines can be used as funny icebreakers more than anything else. as long as it's not too perverted.
Oh yeah, and this one:
"Do you know what sound I heard when I first saw you?"
BEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. BEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. BEWWWWWWWWWWWW. BEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
*she asks what that is*
"It's the sound of an ambulance coming to take me away because the sight of you stopped my heart."
BEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. BEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. BEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
By the way, bonus points if you can guess what movie this came from. :)
I would never want a complete stranger to come up to me with a pick-up line, but I love randomly blurting pick-up lines to my friends. My favorite is:
If I told you that you have had a nice body, would you hold it against me?
@SerenaDante@xanga - Bahahahaha you're gonna have so many friends if people find out where all these original posts came from =P
This guy came up to me and my friend while waiting in line for food on campus (you would not believe how many guys I've met just by waiting in line for food!) and asked if his friend at the end of the line could come and talk to us. It could have been kinda cute if only that "friend" wasn't high as a kite. He reeked of it, too.
That kind of shyness is kind of a turnoff. It may be cute in middle school but if a college guy can't muster up he nerve to talk to me without using a middleman, who knows...he'd probably ask his friend to break up with me later on!
i think pickup lines pretty much NEVER work, except on the loose, dumb, drunk...and cheesy, maybe ;P
seriously, i can't think of a pickup line period that's "good"--except as a joke...a joke that won't get my digits...but maybe a slap, yes!
and i think that last thing mentioned is borderline deceitful--act like you're doing a survey and then get the number to complete the nonexistent survey? but hey, whatever works, right? hahaha
pickup lines are so cheesy but its funny.
i met this guy once & he sed to me
izzatta banana in yer pantz or ar you just happy to see me
& now hez my bf
Read "The Game" by Neil Strauss and learn to not suck at approaching women.
This happened o my friend. He said, "Hey gorgeous. You got a name? Or just a pretty face?"
i'm memorizing the rap one and using it.
@Angelina_Everlong@xanga - Aww that is too cute!
Pick up lines never work on me. Frankly because I don't want to date a guy that would simply approach me for my looks.
But they are pretty hilarious.
Hi, would you like to go out with me some time
@laytexduckie@xanga - night at the roxbury! roxbury, roxbury, roxbury!
Just letting you know..the rapper one is a spoof off of a South Park episode. At least very close.
"It's a man's obligation to stick his boneration in a woman's separation.
[Stan and Kenny begin to laugh]This sort of penetration will increase the population of the younger generation." - Cartman
I am not impressed because I am a die hard South Park fan.
eh...and I just reread it..and it's not THAT close.
Maybe inspired by?
cheesy pickups like this:
him: "can I borrow a quarter?"
me: "why?"
him: "i promised my mother to call her when I met the girl of my dreams."
is he proud that he's a mama's boy??
lol. its not a one shot lay so technically there is no such thing as a pick up line. Its what you do or do not say after that counts. So its more like a pick up conversation... ...
llol
