gd1039 Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 I am wondering what girls think of a guy starting a conversation by saying something like: "Hey, your remind me of (celebrity name), but I think you have a better smile/eyes" or possibly "You know what, (celebrity name) looks a lot like you, but I like your smile/eyes more." I want to use this in class, on a girl that really does remind me of a popular actress, but I don't know if it would just sound dumb...
BrainRightHeartWrong Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 I want to use this in class, on a girl that really does remind me of a popular actress, but I don't know if it would just sound dumb... obviously you are a lot younger than I so different rules apply but it sounds CHEESY to me just tell her that she looks great with a fantastic smile and eyes or whatever! i remember when i was younger girls would say i look like whoever and i just used to laugh at them and walk away NOT a good chat up line dude! leave the celebrity **** out of it! trust me!
alphamale Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 how's about this for an opening line: "Hi....my name is GD1039" don't use cheesy opening lines man. you'll look like a desperate fool
Truth Hammer Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Why don't you let the girl walk up to you, instead? I mean, we're equals now, so she could do it as easily as you could. But of course, you have to put your nuts on the line. But what's this? She looks pretty? You might as well save your time, because if you're not a 10 in her eyes, you ain't getting nothin'.
kanga Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 As a girl, a chick, a woman, I say -- NEVER use any corny pick up lines UNLESS your intent is to come across as corny. The few times that I have been approached with such lines, I have rolled my eyes and laughed. And I've moved on. Or stepped away. One time not so long ago I was in a crowded bar and a boy who walked past me suddenly stopped me and asked, "Are you Irish?" Me: "No." Him: "You look Irish. What are you?" Me: Uhhhh....German, I guess. He proceeded ot ask my name; I asked his. He said he was going to another place with his friends, would I come with. Nah, I said, I'm here with friends (including the infamous GOI who suddenly was right by my side when it took me too long to get back to him). And he kissed my hand and said it was nice meeting me, and he left. Had I not been there with others, I may have been inclined to go with him. It certainly wasn't your usual cheeseball pick up line, but it was just odd enough to capture my attention. Honestly, just say "hello. i really like your shirt (or shoes. or necklace. whatever)" and that will go much farther than any cornball line.

babybear Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Just be casual, say hello, and introduce yourself. I think a lot of girls are cautious (mistaken for snobby), but really are very flattered, adn willing to chat back. G-luck! Babybear
kanga Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Yes, the ones who have approached me with the weak, laughable pick up lines. Yes. I have rolled my eyes and walked away. The "Hey, baby, if I could rewrite the alphabet, I'd put U next to I" lines don't impress me and they aren't funny, and I frankly I don't click with that kind of sense of humor. Sorry. But cheeseo lines don't impress me. Smarts and creativity -- or even simply "Hi. Let's dance." (If we're at a dancing place) -- do.
BrainRightHeartWrong Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Sorry. But cheeseo lines don't impress me how about "hiya baby, whats your name? i'm called Mr.Right! "
kanga Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 So, to answer the original question of the poster, I recommend simply saying hi, smiling, and giving a compliment, saying who you are, if she doesn't yet know who you are.
kanga Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Originally posted by BrainRightHeartWrong how about "hiya baby, whats your name? i'm called Mr.Right! " Um ... probably not. Unless your name really is Right or Wright. And then you can follow up with, "No, really, my name is (First Name) Wright." And then I'd smile. And you've captured my attention, so that's enough to continue the conversation. Yeah, I guess that could work for me.
Author gd1039 Posted January 29, 2005 Author Posted January 29, 2005 The first few responses put some sense in me, just go for the straightforward approach. If I want to complement her on something, do it, and leave the rest garbage out. I could wait to see if she approaches me, but I'm not even sure she has noticed me much yet, so I might as well get it over with and try to talk to her...
Pocky Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Originally posted by alphamale Right! And in 10 or 15 yrs, if he's not making the bucko$ then he ain't gettin' nothin' either. My husband keeps his own money and spends it how he wants. I keep my own money and spend it how I want. He doesn't pay my bills and I don't pay his. Not all women expect their husband/boyfriend to make lots of money to support them. As far as the original post - she's in your class right? Why not invite her to a study group? (the more I give dating advice to young people, the more I feel like a dork. I can't stop remembering Samson's comment about the private all girl school. )

Why not invite her to a study group? Yes, a study group is good or setup a group outing to somewhere fun and invite her also. POCKY, we were referring to exceptional beautiful women. My exp is that the 9's and 10's usually are looking for a man with money, esp when older than 30.

Teh Hammar Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Look, original poster: You will not be able to go anywhere with this knockout-looking girl. Don't waste your time, because in the end, she will probably rip your heart out. In my experience, I've also found that beautiful girls are the pinnacle of high maintenance. Even if she does go for you, when the BBD (Bigger, Better Deal) comes around, you can kiss your ass goodbye.
Author gd1039 Posted January 29, 2005 Author Posted January 29, 2005 Originally posted by Teh Hammar You will not be able to go anywhere with this knockout-looking girl. I find it interesting that you say this. Just because I said she looks like a popular actress, you assume she is a knockout. It simply depends on who someone considers to be a knockout. If they consider top models knockouts, and she was such, I too think I'd have slim to no chance, but she wouldn't have a good chance with me either, because thats not my type of girl. I can't really think of a way to word this exactly how I mean it, but if I see a girl that I am truly attracted to and I think I have a shot with, she might be my knockout, while she is under somebody else's radar because knockouts for them are those top models.

I believe the phrase you're looking for GD1039 is "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and yes it is true.
