How do you hit on someone you like?
03/15/2004 16:00
Summer days are getting closer.now seems to be the perfect time to enrich your vocabulary with great phrases to start a conversation with someone you find attractive. The first step has to be extremely well-planned. The first step is never easy.

Obviously, everyone follows his/her own "system" when it comes to such matters. After conducting a survey of about several thousands young individuals, British scientists were able to draw the most optimal one.

The most popular and sure question was the following: "Can I offer you anything to drink?" The "top 5 phrases" category includes the following phrases: "I see you for the first time, but it feels like I"ve dreamed of you already!", "Did you get hurt when falling from the garden of Eden?", "Would you like a cocktail or would you rather prefer cash?", "Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I approach you second time?".

There is also a list of the most ridiculous looser-phrases: "could you tell me what time it is?", "Let me help you to take off your jacket, it seems to be too tight", "I was foretold that I will die in the next 5 min; would you be kind enough to make them worth while?", "You would look nice in this dress on my bedroom floor."

Overall, refrain from dumb jokes and hideous remarks. It will be much better to come up with an original expression and your future romance is guaranteed!

I usually just introduce myself and say what comes to mind - "You are very beautiful" works better than any contrived "line," I think.

[Abby Normal]

I don't have to, they always "hit on" me first!

I'm also pretty shy around guys, so I wouln't jus approach someone like that.

[Scoob]

Scoob, does that really work for you? The first thing that comes to my mind is the last thing I would say

Well, I didn't say it comes out like Shakespearan verse, but I start with the basics. It actually works pretty well most of the time, if there's a mutual attraction. The body language and chemistry is much more important than the sometimes clumsy words people say - which is why I think pick up lines are a little absurd.

And Adelaide - you're a shy Southern girl! Aww. Nothing wrong with that - just play with your hair, lick your lips, and let the guy think of corny things to say.

My question is: How can you like someone you haven't already tried to hit on?

My question is: How can you like someone you haven't already tried to hit on?

I agree.
And I also agree with Blackadder

[Sigrun Christianson]

Talk politics.

I know a guy who was the colleague of a beautiful girl. He was always wacky, an artist, she was more of the uptight, morally sound type.

He had a 'thing' for her, she didn't even notice.

He didn't know how to out his feelings, until one day, she came in wearing some tight white, almost see-thru pants. He saw her, but didn't comment on anything, he hid the fact that he was sexually aroused by her appearance that day.

When she walked out of the room, he leaped onto a table, and started theatrically simulating sex, yelling her name, we laughed our asses of with his little performance.

We were all shocked ( especially the guy ) when we realized that the girl was standing behind us, she witnessed the entire hilarious performance. An uneasy quiet, as we waited for her reaction.

Nothing happened that exact day, but a couple of days later, they were together.

[Gesta Bellica]

I'll tell you what works for me. Well, it works sometimes and others provokes all kind of expected and unexpected situations which can provide some fun.

Look at your victim with some discretion, but letting her notice that you are targeting her. When she directs her look at you direct your eyes towards hers, not too fixed at first, but increasingly. Ok, now you are exposed, so there is no honour in stepping back. See what her reaction is at all moment.

If you feel that she's returning your staring in some kind of acceptance, approach her slowly, and start a conversation. Watch what you say, if it's clumsy the prey might run away scared. But being clumsy sometimes works too, if you smile and laugh and tell her that you are nervous and embarrased. I don't know why, but some women love that.

If you still feel a cold distance, a smile might help. But don't stop staring at her eyes or you'll fail miserably. Try to tell her with your eyes that you are fascinated, but above all avoid a lascive look in your eyes. If she returns an icey look, smile at her in a cheecky way, making her understand that she has just lost a good chance. I know it's cheeky, but you will leave with your head up... and you might let her wondering.

As you see, no much speaking involved in all of it. Why the need to speak when what you are after is something altogether different? If you wanted to speak, you wouldn't be in a place where the music is too loud to carry with a proper conversation, would you?


Now you guys can accuse me of being a Med craze with a high Negroid-like sex drive. I love you too

Well said!

the strategy that you accurately described is highly used in Italy, but after that stares exchange part usually the guy will try a verbal approach with the girl.. if she accepted the staring part there are good chances that the approach will work

That guy..well things worked out for him....but it could have easily been a 180 for him too!
I have seen similar situations, where the girl is astonished (or appears to be ), and is totally turned off ...and the relationship, even the platonic one, is gone. Hey, life is somewhat of a crapshoot when it comes to relationships with the opposite sex -- sometimes things work, and sometimes they just don't.

These females are sometimes very hard to read, no offense ladies . And of course, in their defense, sometimes they just want a friend and friendship, nothing more...not necesarily a good salve for the male soul, but it is what it is friends.
