Pick Up Lines and the False stigma the carry.
Almost everyone has heard of Pick Up Lines. They have become very popular with
Millenials.
Pick Up Lines or chat up lines are phrases or one-liners used when first approaching
someone new with the intention of landing a phone number or best case a "date".There is
a wide range of Pick Up Lines, ranging from straight forward conversation starters such
as introducing yourself to more elaborate ones that are highly circumstantial.
The most important part of all and usually the hardest is to find out if
there is interest from the other person.
There are some easy telltale signs like eye-contact or body language but when it comes
to dating, in general, it is very subjective. The most important of all is to try and find out if
there is a "feeling" or vibe between you and the other person. This can be very
intimidating in the beginning but you will soon learn that you have to go with your
gut. What is the worst that can happen? A five-minute talk and the conversation will die
from itself or a split second of awkwardness. Put a stop on your Philophobia.
Assuming there is interest we can start to implement the second step:
Approach.
Approaching the other person is quite crucial. When meeting someone for the first time,
the first impression is very important. You are basically laying the groundwork for what
might be your future significant other (if that is your intention). When approaching you
have to carefully pick a Pick Up Line or make up your own. Be careful though, analyze the
other person and the circumstance, based on that you should adapt your Pick Up Line. If
coming up with phrases from the top of your head do not worry there are many online
resources to get you started. I will list some of them in the references.
Generic Pick Up Lines
Generic Pick Up Lines are usually your run of the mill Pick Up Lines but that is not
necessarily a bad thing, you just have to use them on the right type. Also, you have to
calculate that the rejection rate with generic Pick Up Lines tends to be higher than with
the more targeted ones. Some examples:
• Cheesy, Funny and Flattering Pick Up Lines.
• Sexy, Crude, Suggestive and Dirty Pick Up Lines
• Gender Pick Up Lines
Targeted Pick Up Lines
Targeted Pick Up Lines are the most effective Pick Up Lines and provide the highest
chance to land a phone number or date. There is a stigma with Pick Up Lines that it says
that they do not work. But if you put just a bit of extra thought and given the right
circumstances they prove to be quite effective. Your best friend in the dating game and
even more so when using pick up lines are opportunities and circumstances. Put your
deduction abilities to good use and find out what the one you are going to hit on likes/
dislikes or his/her hobbies and you are golden. Some examples of targeted pick up lines:
• Pizza Pick Up Lines (on a pizza place)
• Coffee, Coffee shop Pick Up Lines (if on a coffee shop or hitting the barista)
• Airport Pick Up Lines (when traveling by air)
