Now
that we have discussed the basics of communication concepts, we'll start looking at how interpersonal communication affects our love relationships. Studies show that we have approximately 4 minutes in the
initial contact stage to make a good impression. And based on that first
impression, many of us decide whether or not we want to
pursue that relationship to the next level or just remain acquaintances.
Share
with us your favorite pick-up lines (funny, serious, cheesy, etc). What do you think is the best
"pick-up" strategy? (Leave a green dangly earring behind? Put your
phone number in their phone?) Let's see what you can come up with!

Some of my favorite pickup lines are really cheesy and I would never actually use them..
ReplyDelete*drop a sweet thing sugar packet* "excuse me, I think you dropped your name tag"
*checks clothing tag" "Just as I thought, made in heaven."
"If I were to look into the Mirror of Erised, I'd see the two of us together" (Harry Potter)
"Wanna dance? I can put your inertia in motion"
I personally would not know what the best pick up strategy is. I went to an all girl high school all four years and I have always been oblivious to lines and situations where being hit on is present. If I were to say, I believe the best pick up strategy would be to go up and just ask to dance. (and maybe a little bit cheesy)
I'm a pretty shy guy to I don't tend to use pick up lines cause I find them to be pretty cheesy and lame so I just try and talk to whoever I find attractive. To me, I don't know what the best strategy would be besides to just be honest and straight up with the person you are talking and try to make them laugh of course but I never see cheesy things like pick up lines actually work in my experience but I'm there are those people that it works for.
ReplyDeleteI dont have any favorite pick up lines. There are some that are pretty funny but would never work! Ive never used a pick up line nor have I been hit on by using one. If Im interested in someone I usually just strike up a conversation with them and try to find something in common with them. Pick up lines wouldnt really make me want to go out with someone. When pick up lines are used it makes it a little uncomfotable because right away youre telling that person youre interested in them based off looks. It makes a difference if you talk to someone for a little bit then asking them on a date opposed to going up to a stranger and saying "hey do you have a mirror in your pants because I can totally see myself in them"
ReplyDeleteI think pick up lines don't necessarily work regarding it's purpose because most of them are corny, but I think they can work for laughs and to break the ice. Guys have used pick up lines on me knowing that they wouldn't work because they knew it would make me laugh and at the same time let me know they are interested or trying to flirt. Overall you don't hear pick up lines as much anymore instead guys usually just ask for the girls number and go from there.

DeleteHaha oh wow roman xD.
DeleteI don't have any pick up lines. I've never used one. Realistically does any of it actually work? It seems like it's more of a type of joke that guys use to get into a conversation with a girl their intersted in. Something to give you an excuse to talk to the girl/guy. The best pick up strategy is to be funny
ReplyDeleteI don't really use pick up lines but when I do find a guy attractive I kind of stand back and see if he feels the same, let him make the first move. Then if I know he does feel the same Ill start to flirt, then BAM! HIT HIM WITH THAT WINK! But in all reality when the attraction is there between two people it comes really natural. Conversation will flow, laughing and having fun will come easy. There's this quote said by Marilyn Monroe "If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything." and I really like that quote because us girls love a guy with an awesome sense of humor, and in my past relationships I've found that it's not really about the looks its about the qualities the guys have and if you can make me laugh Im pretty much hooked.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the best pick up line is. I don't think there is a best one cause they're not really used outside of trying to be corny and get a cheap laugh. I think humor is the best way because everyone likes to laugh. When people are laughing they are smiling and happy and those are two of the best expressions/emotions to be conveying while you are alive.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if there is a great pick up line. I do agree with Jessica and the Mailyn Monroe quote about making a girl laugh. when I met my husband, that is the main thing that attracted me to him. He just made me laugh and laugh - thus, bring down my guard. Does it work? I ended up marrying the man.
ReplyDeletePersonally I dont believe in pick up lines. I consider myself to have pretty good judgment when it comes to picking up on peoples vibes. It's been my experiance that when you meet people either in a bar, club or lounge kind of environment, they do not strike me as genuine and that is what catches my attention aside from the 1 1/2 seconds it takes to take in someone's physical and stylish presentation. Clothing and the putting together of an emsemble can really make a huge difference in the way people look at you. I don't make it a habit to "pick up" anyone especially in the previously mentioned establishments. I thnk of them as meat markets and generally tend to avoid them. If someone is genuine and just talks as a person I would say that is enough to establish the next meeting.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe i would ever recieve a pick up line very well at the "meat markets" as rose mentioned. I consider myself a classy lady when it comes to romance. I have recently started going to wild west just to go out dancing and be with my girls and the guys there are real sweet with you, they don't expect much( well most dont) besides a nice dance and a quick chat. Occasionally a kiss on the cheek is given which is very nice, these are the guys i would find most attractive and would see myself being with. The guys who ask for your hand your name and lead u around the dance floor instead of the dirty ronchy pick up line dirt bags i see sometimes. They're not all that bad but most just want the panties to come off! go for them gentlemen cowboys!
ReplyDeleteI agree that using a corny pick up line to get a laugh out of it would be the best way to go. If you're able to make the person laugh when using the cheesy line, the more open they'll probably be to get to know them.
ReplyDeleteI've personally not had many pick up lines said to me mostly because most of my relationships started as friendship and progressed from there.
ReplyDeletethe best pick up line is "is this seat taken". the reason this is the best pick up line is because with this line it allows a lot more room for different topics and opportunity to get to no the person in a superficial way. overall the line allows more time to show the person you really are even with out using words, you can read a book, you can do anything to catch the attention of the person your sitting with and develop a conversation.
ReplyDeleteI"ve been told some pretty hilarious pickup lines before, But usually they are just joking around to get a laugh going. Pickup lines definitely don't work and they sound so stupid. The best pick up strategy to me personally is being yourself most importantly. Being yourself is such an attractive trait someone can have. Which you would think that would be easy but sometimes people don't know how to be themselves...... Compliments will do :-)
ReplyDeleteI personally have never used a pick up line on a girl before. I think its sort of an ice breaker since sometimes you can get pretty nervous before approaching the girl you like. But then again, it is better to just be yourself instead of using pick up lines. It all comes down to the person. The best thing you could do is not carry labels on people and try to see the beauty in everyone, because true beauty lies within who you are. Not in the shoes and clothes you wear or the physical feautures you carry because they dont last forever.
ReplyDeleteI have never used a pick-up line, nor has one ever been used with me. I find pick-up lines are just good to get a good laugh going. I asked one of my guy friends what some of his favorites were and he said,
ReplyDelete"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put "U" and "I" together."
"Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk by again?"
I think the best way to start things off is with a compliment or a question and things can go from there. As mentioned above, getting someone to laugh is key. You can find out a lot about a person by what they laugh at.
I really haven't used a pick up line ever before. I don't find pick up lines attractive either, unless they are being funny. I do however like when someone is trying to be romantical, because its kind of cute to me. Lol
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite pick up lines are the ones that my boyfriend uses their really funny and cheesy.
ReplyDelete-"I think I have diabetes... because you are so sweet"
-"when I look in my dictionary and look up the meaning of beautiful there is a picture of your face and it has your name"
- "You had me at hello"
What made me want to move to the next level with my boyfriend Tim was that he is so funny and has a good sense of humor.
Its really important to be yourself around someone who you want to start a relationship with. It makes it easier to see if you want to take it to the next level or not. Being yourself and having a good sense of humor is they key.
I myself do not use pick up lines but I have heard a few funny ones. Most recently at my work I heard "hey you dropped something ...my jaw" and one that really got me laughing was "Are you from Tennessee? because your the only ten I see."Majority of the time I feel like my friends or co-workers use it to joke around or break up any tension you may be putting out at work or over home work. I am more the type of person to be friends with someone first before I decide if I like them enough to want a relationship. By being yourself and being friends with someone first is a good start to developing all the important factors you look for in a boyfriend or girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteI think just having someone smile and laugh with you is the best way to make a first impression. It makes them think positive of you because you're making them feel happy so, they're gonna think of that happy memory and maybe want to engage in more memories which may lead to a nice relationship of some sort.
ReplyDeleteI thought of this pick-up line the other day, I'm sure someone has heard it before, but I never have. It goes: I've been having breathing problems, cause latley, you've been taking my breath away. Now, me personally, if I was attempting to make a first impression on someone I surely wouldn't use a chessy pick up line. I believe that the best pick up strategy is simply being yourself. If you're able to keep someone interested by being yourself then the person you're trying to impress is obviously interested.
ReplyDeletePick up lines that always makes me laugh are,
ReplyDelete"Excuse me, I seemed to have lost my number, could I borrow yours?"
"Did it hurt?" ... "When you fell from heaven?"
"Hey baby, what's your sign?"
"Do you have a map? Cause I'm getting lost in your eyes."
Pick up strategies I've seen in my generation are asking someone for their number, adding them on facebook or another social network, or handing a note over with your number on it.
I don't think that pick up lines work or pick up strategies unless two people are really REALLY interested in each other because people usually don't respond to pick up lines and it takes both people to communicate via phone and social networking.
My favorite pick up line is "Are you from Tennesse? Cuz youre the only 10 I see!" and I think pick up lines work because it starts the first laugh. I dont use pick up lines but if someone used one on me I'd probably just fall out laughing and think "at least they tried"!
ReplyDeleteI don't think pick up lines work, so I have never said one to anyone, nor has anyone used a pick up line on me. My friends and I will tell each other pick up line as a joke, but we always laugh and say how it really wouldn't work on someone. I think if you're really interested in someone, leaving them your number or just being honest is a good way.
ReplyDeleteThe only pick up line I know is from on eof my favorite singers named Gavin Degraw. In an interview they asked him to say his favorite pickup line and he said "you only use it when there are like 3 chicks left in the bar and then you walk up to one of them and say out of all the girls in here you're easily in the top 10." Im not sure if that is word for word but it's along those lines. I'm sure it does not work on any women, or atleast it wouldn't work on me. I think I would laugh and walk away
ReplyDeleteThis pick up lines I have chossen is funny to me because when I first met one of my co workers he told me this pick up line the first day I met him.
ReplyDeleteAre you tiered? No. Why? Cause you've been running through my mind all day!
In my own opinion I feel like chezzy pick up lines never work, but in some cases they do break the ice and the other person can take it as funny or they can be like eww get away from me! Its kindof a 50/50 I think ive only used pickup lines to be funny and have a laugh!

I dont really care for pick up lines too much. While some of them are funny and you probably know at least one person who's used a corny pick up line, I would never use one. The one that was recently used on me was "You look familiar... Were you in my Calc 2 class last semester?" The first issue with this is I do not take and never will take a calculus math course. The second problem, if you met me, you would remember me. I don't really look like anyone else and I don't really have a common name. Props for talking to me, but I'd prefer if someone just came out and was like "Hey, you look really good today" and start a conversation from there. To me, it's a bit more personal and sincere than "Are you a parking ticket? 'Cause you've got fine written all over you" or something ridiculous like that.
ReplyDeletePersonally I think pick up lines are corny and cheesy. I wouldnt want someone to come up to me and use one to try and pick me up because i will just turn them down in a heart beat. I think its better to start off a relationship with conversation and build up from there not by some cheesy line a guy tells you. I think its funny though if someone tells me a pick up line just for the heck of it, just to be funny but not being serious. I just think if you fall for a pick up line you seem dumb and vulnerable. Your falling for a cheesy line that a guy probally uses on every girl, that doesnt make you feel special. So i think pick up lines are funny to joke around about but not for one to be used on me.
ReplyDeleteAs of right now I have only one favorite pick up line and it starts off saying "There's 21 letters in the alphabet right?Oh wait I forgot U,R,A,Q,T." and this wouldn't necessarily be a pick up line but it's cute "I mustache(insert mustache picture)you to be my valentine" I don't think there really is a best pick up line strategy but I do agree with everyone else on how its a great laugh and a good conversation starter though. They're good to laugh about but not to actually "pick up" girls/guys. Just be yourself.
ReplyDeleteI can’t recall any genuinely funny pick up lines that I’ve heard. Most pick up lines tend to be lame and unoriginal. I agree with every one else that the best “pick-up” strategy is just to be straightforward with the other person. I mean obviously you don’t want to come on too strong but if you like someone why beat around the bush or use some corny line? It makes more sense to just be like “Hey, do you like pizza? Cool. Me too, let’s go eat.”
ReplyDeleteI usually try to translate the spanish pick up lines I learned that my uncles and cousins taught me back home but they are not the same in English. I usually just try to make the girl im interested in laugh and that is pretty easy once you find out what kind of things she likes. So in simple terms my strategy has always been just go up and talk to them. Also abort mission if things seem to be not as easy as it seems, you dont want to look like a creep and there are plenty of fish in the sea so move on if things go bad.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think pickup lines are really corny and i don't think i would take anyone seriously if they came up to me and started to hit on me using something as a pickup line unless it was really smooth. I think it would only be accepted if they were my friend cause it wouldn't be so creepy as a stranger doing it. i've heard some such as "is that a mirror in your pocket because i see myself in your pants" "If I were a stop light, I'd turn red everytime you passed by, just so I could stare at you a bit longer." "Hey baby, you must be a light switch, cuz every time I see you, you turn me on"
ReplyDeleteI Personally don't think that pick up lines work that well to get someone interested in you. I have never used a pick up line before because I usually over think things before I say them and I think it would sound silly, maybe it also has to do with my personality being shy and all that makes me think that way
ReplyDeleteI think that the best way to get someone interested is to just be yourself and try to get to know that guy/girl that you are interested in by asking them questions and finding things in common.
One of my favorite pickup lines would have to be the classic, "Did it hurt?... When you fell from heaven, because you must be an angel." Although great for an awkward laugh, I really do not think that pick up lines are very successful. Even if you are trying to be cheesy in order to make the other person more comfortable, I believe just being yourself and opening up would be the best strategy.
ReplyDeleteI don't think pick up lines work all the time... but in the right setting they could definitely spark interest, especially if it's a particularly amusing or memorable one that sticks with a person. It also has to be tried on someone who actually has some sort of sense of humor as well for it to really work.
ReplyDeleteI think some of my favorites are the nerdy pick up lines:
"If you were a Pokemon, I'd choose you."
"Did you just combust?? Because you’re HOT!"
"I don’t have a library card, but do you mind if I check you out?"
I personally don't use pick up lines when going up to a girl and talking/flirting with her. They can be really corny and as in my own opinion, never work. All the girls I'm friends with say that when a guy approaches them with pick up lines, they are really cheesy and stupid that they aren't even interested anymore. Some pick up lines that my friends say to girls being serious or not are like "Do you have a map? because im lost in your eyes." "Is your father an alien? because your out of this world." and something really dumb like "Did you get those jeans on clearance? because at my house, they're 100% off."Some pick up lines can actually work on women because there serious and actually compliment them. Resulting the girl in being more attracted to them and causing them into talking relationship wise. I believe the best pick up strategy is just going up to someone and complimenting them and making small talk that isn't to straight foward and pressuring them. That's what I use when approaching girls and works all the time for me.
ReplyDeleteI personally don't use any pick up lines myself, but I have been told some. I find it corny, but I like a good laugh when people do use them. I don't exactly have a favorite one, but one that made me have a little laugh was "Are you from Tennessee"? I said "huh?" He said "because your the only ten i see". I find that being yourself is a hundred percent the best way to try and start a conversation with someone who your interested in.
ReplyDeletei do not use pick up lines. if i think a girl is pretty and i might like her then i will just talk to her and just make conversation. i dont believe in using pick up lines
ReplyDeleteThe idea of a pick up line is stupid. Not knowing a girl and then just suddenly trying to pick her up? Thats creepy in my book, and in this book it also says any "introduction" you want to do with another person you find interest in, should be just that. An introduction. Hello, my name is Harrison. BAM 100% proof every time no questions asked just like that you bet cha. Because while this isn't direct about my true feelings like a pick up line is, its more mysterious. And Mr. E is always responsible for curiosity. As well, just like cats, girls are very curious. They will stay curious about my intentions and that is likely the reason for pursuit.
