The Pick Up Line

'My magic watch says you're not wearing any underwear'

'Oh you're wrong. I definitely am'

'Damn, it's gone 15 minutes early again'

[It's been awhile. I've slipped. Due to a combination of being ultra busy, writer's block and dis-inspiration, I just haven't found the drive to write. Things have stabilized somewhat though, so here we go again]

Yes, the pick up line. Subject of interest and fascination by those who believe in magic super lines that will cause the ladies to smile, swoon and melt. Also the subject of scorn and late party discussions of 'what's the worst one you ever heard?'

Here's the bad news. Magic super lines? Don't exist.

The good news? Lines really aren't worth that much. Some tend to over-analyze and over-emphasize, but they're just a means of initiating a conversation. What's more important is the complete approach which may include but is not limited to the following:

1. Not appearing like a desperado/creepy serial killer/sex-crazed rapist
2. Being well dressed and well groomed
3. Keeping confident body language & smile
4. Reading the responses of the target audience - some people may just be having a bad day and not interested in intercourse (conversation) - just move on
5. Keeping the conversation light and humorous - steering away from overly serious topics - life/death, religion, politics, the effects of $86/barrel oil prices on the Malaysian economy...
6. Having fun, without expectations

Want a little conversation to try? "Hey, I've gtg in awhile but I'd like your opinion on something. Do you think pick up lines work?"

So what do I think is the world's best pick up line?

"Hello"

p.s. if you guys have any great pick up lines do send them over for mutual discussion, laughs and improvement :)
