Do you have a map? Because I'm getting lost in your eyes. We all have heard them -- cheesy pick-up lines. Most of us associate pick-up lines with men. However, these quick come-ons are just as much an introductory tool for women as well. The secret to making a lasting impression is using a line that's catchy but not smothered in cheese. How many times have you walked away from a pick-up line that left you throwing up in your mouth? Women can be just as guilty as men with saying all the wrong things. If you want to make a memorable impression while breaking the ice, keep it simple. Make eye contact. Smile. Get him to notice you. Approaching him with a "hello" or a "how are you?" often can do the trick. Simply having the courage to introduce yourself scores points with guys who are usually the ones giving chase. If you are feeling bold, pay him a compliment. Buy him a drink.
Ask him to give you the time... literally. The key is to get his attention and keep it. Once you have piqued his interest, the next trick is to keep it. Immerse him in conversation. Get him engaged by asking him about himself. Be a good listener. Try not to make it all about you. Don't overwhelm him with information. Even if you want marriage, kids and the white picket fence, save that discussion for a later date. Keep things light. You want to make a good impression the first time around... so that you'll get a chance at a second.
