Flirting Pick Up Lines And Why They Work

This article was inspired by a chance encounter. I am standing in the toy section of my favorite store (The New 3D Television Section). A few young guys are staring at me giggling, but looking away each time I look in their direction. This happens several times and I figured enough is enough. I forced myself to take off the awesome 3D glasses and investigate this matter a little further.

I approached and asked them what seemed to be the problem. Come to find out they knew me from a book that I had written entitled, “Worlds Worst Pickup Lines – That Actually Worked.” One of the guys told me that he had used just about every flirting pick up line in my book, but none of them worked for him. His friend co-signed by saying he had did the same with no luck. It was time for me to take these young bucks to school.

I started out explaining the art of the pick up line. Yes, most pick up lines are corny, cheesy, or whatever new slang you want to associate with them. However they are not designed to make a girl fall madly in love with you right there on the spot. They are meant to be used as an ice breaker. In most cases the girl will laugh, because she realizes what is going on.

Although the young men had explained a few situations that they had unsuccessfully attempted to use their pick up lines, I did not need to hear it. I already knew why they had failed. On a positive note I have them credit for approaching the girls. I explained to them that they already were doing then the majority of men on earth.

In each of the stories that they shared they did manage to break the ice. They admitted that the girls laughed at them. The problem was they did not have a follow up. Look at delivering your flirting pick up line as making a cold call. You call a total stranger and say, “Hello my name is Tim and I am calling you in regards to your credit – do you have a second?” The person says, “Yes” and you have nothing further to say. There is dead silence on the phone. This is exactly what happen to these guys, and when I explained it using a cold call as a metaphor they totally got it.

The guys were so pumped up that they wanted to test out some pick up lines right there on the spot. I visually swept the store looking for a victim. There she was – an extremely pretty girl that appeared to be an employee. I pointed her out to the two guys. As I turned my focus back to them, it was blatantly obvious that they were nervous. The two of them began sweating profusely as if someone had doused them with a glass of water. I must admit I did find humor in the fact that woman could cause this effect on men world wide. I then asked which one was going to approach her, and the two of them began playing the game – no you do it, no you do it. I figured I would take one for the team and show these young bucks how its done.

I gave the girl a quick once over before approaching. I noticed that she did not have an engagement ring, or wedding band on. She had a keychain dangling from her right front pocket, with a little alien dude on it. I could also see a bulge in her pocket that I perceived to be a cellphone. Her finger nails where painted black and she had Goth looking makeup on. By all stereo types there was no way that this girl was going to give me the time of day.

I walked over to her, I already had my game plan locked and loaded. She was in the printer section pretending to be working. As I got close she looked up and asked if she could help me. Here is where the fun begins. I told her to please forgive me, and I knew her from a few visions that I had had recently. Before giving her a chance to respond I continued. I explained to her that I know she may think I am some psycho, but I have always had a gift and I could read people. Again before giving her a chance to respond I asked her did she mind if I told her a little bit about herself in order to prove my accusations?

For a brief moment she stood paralyzed, then she hesitantly gave me permission to proceed. I explained to her that I knew she was a lost soul (this was derived by her wearing the dark makeup, and nail polish). I continued by saying that in my visions I could see that she had an amazing heart and that she was an extremely open-minded individual (uhhh she had an alien dude hanging out of her pocket). The game was over, the smile on her face gave it away. She was blushing like a girl with a high school crush. No matter how she fought to hold it back it kept flashing across her face. I was about to close the deal.

My words appeared to be mesmerizing her. As I spoke she could barely blink. I asked her to do me a favor (this is a rhetorical statement I am not looking for an answer here), then I said pull your phone out of your right pocket for me please. The look on her face said WOW.

This part is important! Read every word carefully. I gave her an embedded command. That means I did not ask her, I told her what to do. I told her to enter this number, she quickly got the phone in a position and was awaiting the numbers. I have her my cell phone number and she entered it into her phone. I gave her my name, and told her to make sure to lock it in. Once she was finished, I issued another embedded command. I told her to call me now, so that I could have her number. She did – she was hypnotized.

She pulled up my number and hit send, within seconds my cellphone rang. I then asked her for her name and entered it into my phone. I told her I would be busy over the next few weeks and wanted nothing more than to get to know her soon. I then went on to explain that my schedule was more flexible than hers, and that I wanted her to give me a call when she was free and I would stop whatever I was doing to spend time with her. I extended my hand to shake hers, and told her thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know someone that was as gifted as she was. SHE COULD NOT STOP SMILING.

I did not want to ruin the magic that I had just created by going back over and the guys I was talking to earlier. So I headed towards the front of the store signaling them to follow me. Once the coast was clear, they two young guys were just as hypnotized as the girl as I shared my strategies with them.

In-a-nut-shell, flirting pick up lines work because they are an ice breaker. You must have a follow up. Notice how I was able to read her by a few signs i.e. her makeup, the keychain, and the cellphone in her pocket. She was hooked when I told her that I had a gift and I could read people. This poor girl never stood a chance.
