This is not a very good pick up line, but I once had a guy ask me if I was a dentist!?! It was weird. When I asked him why, he said I had really nice teeth! Even weirder!!! I usually get compliments on my smile but have never been asked if I was dentist! Maybe he was looking for a sugar-mama!

I don't know...it's the way I've always been. I've never found it easy to connect with another person, never had friends, never felt like I could trust others.

It's reflexive...I don't even think about it...usually, there's enough of a relaxed vibe that a conversation will begin (oftentimes in the elevator, where you're NOT supposed to talk!). If there's a biotchy vibe, then why even bother to open your mouth?

I really don't have any methods or anything special I say, It all depends on what's going on around us.


BTW, I am not looking for advice. I'm just throwing a question out there.
You walk up to a little hottie on the street and just start straight macking.

I think that's what the kids say these days

Urban Dictionary: macking

I'm going back and reading some of these posts and wondering if social retardation is an epidemic now.

Look. It's easy. Like falling off a cotton-picking log. Let me lay it out for you:

1. You see a woman whom you find engaging.
2. You walk up and smile. Before approaching, make sure she doesn't have the expression of a hunted animal or as if she'd just buried her best friend and is having a wine or two to take the edge off.
3. Make eye contact. Extend hand.
4. Say, "Hi, my name is Joe. What's yours?" Of course, if your name is something else, please use that instead. Makes subsequent contact a lot less awkward.
5. When she introduces herself, say, "Nice to meet you." Maintain eye contact a split second longer than would be normal. Ten seconds would make you a freak.
6. Then, if you're at a party, ask this simple, fool-proof question, "So, who do you know here?"
7. If she answers #6 by mentioning a mutual acquaintance, talk about how much you like the mutual acquaintance. Ask how long they've known one another. You get the drift.
8. If she answers #6 by saying, "I really came with some friends, so I don't know anybody," then understand that she's out of her element. Introduce to some people close at hand, so that she feels more included.
9. Then ask the following questions, NOT in rapid fire order. A) Are you originally from _____? B) What do you like to do for fun (It is important to NOT leer when asking this question like some lounge lizard. You're interested in her hobbies and interests, not her bedroom peccadilloes)?
10. Surely you can find some way to key off her answers and sustain a conversation.
11. Make the conversation about her. Even when she steers things back to you, be a man of mystery with self-deprecating answers that go light on info. After all, the first conversation is all about her, man. She'll think you're the best conversationalist on the planet.
12. Remember that women can be just as boring as men. Just because she's gorgeous doesn't mean she's interesting. If your mind is wandering after five minutes, then it ain't you. Excuse yourself by saying that you need to go to the bathroom or say hello to a friend, and how you want to chat later. Don't just say, "Oh, that's nice," and walk away.

Things not to do:

1) Talk about yourself.
2) Talk about your sex life, past girlfriends, money problems, or dalliances with the Aryan Nation.
3) Stare at her boobs. In fact, the first question you should ask yourself when approaching a woman is, "What color are her eyes?" That way, your attention is diverted roughly eighteen inches higher, right where it should be.

What if one hangs lower than the other, even if her eyes are green or blue "my favorite" I might not remember to look up. Also what if one is a tiny boob?
