A few years ago, I was standing in a short line at the supermarket late at night when there was only one register open. A thirtyish guy strides up to the cashier in front of the line and says urgently, "I need someone to open up the condoms now!" (They are locked in a display cabinet at this store.) The female checker and I made brief eye contact and I couldn't help but smile. She asked if I minded if she left to go help him. I told her, "No problem, it sounds like he's in a hurry." He looked at me and said, "Sometimes you just can't wait!" and off they went. They quickly came back and he was carrying his package of condoms. I was still amused and told him he could go ahead of me. He said thanks for being so nice and then, while the checker was ringing up the sale, said, "What are you doing tonight?" I said I had plans but didn't elaborate. The checker handed him his purchase and he wrote something down. He said "Here's my number. Maybe you and I could get together later." I was laughing pretty hard at this. He then practically ran out of the store. The checker looked at me and said, "Well, at least he practices safe sex." The box boy said, "The girl must be out in the parking lot in his car. I hope he has a van." And I said, "Well, I hope it's a girl." And we all started laughing at our silliness. And than I looked at his phone number which he written on a piece of paper--it was written on the receipt for the Trojans he'd bought...

So what was your most unusual attempt to pick up or be picked up?

I believe this is for ladies only, right?

Why? I picked up my husband at a bar.

The worst attempt was this guy using every single corny line in the book.

Last night I was out for my friend's bachelorette party, and some guy comes up to me and says, "So you're getting married?" I said no, but that my friend was. He said, "Well...you and I can still play house...you can be the screen door and I can slam you all night!" I chuckled, half-heartedly, and then went back to my friends. They were dying laughing when I told him what he said.

I had a bachelorette party in Vegas. This guy kept following me around, telling me that he was my last chance to "sow my wild oats" before I got married the next day. The sad part was he was extremely attractive. Tall, blonde, blue-eyed young British guy. I kept trying to steer him toward one of my sisters.

do any of these corny pick up lines EVER work? I've actually never used any of them.

This is going to be a great thread. I've learned that you just have to walk up to them, ask for their name and go from there. be observant and compliment them on something they're wearing or the way they have their hair, their skin tone, etc. something or you don't even half to compliment them right away. just ask for their name and take it from there. it doesn't really matter what you talk about as long as you make eye contact and show your interest in them. You have to let them know that you are the man, the hunter, and they are your prey because they're a woman.

anytime i came into an approach with a pre-set line or things to say it came off totally unnatural, forceful, and i came off as lacking self esteem which is a total turn off and no way to get a girl's phone number. you just have to take things "off the cuff" as they say.

While working at a nightclub as a DJ, I had this one guy come up who I thought was going to request a song. So I looked at him and nodded, I said what do you want to hear, he said I want to know you name. I said "Who sings it?" He replied, "No, I want to know YOUR name". I replied "DJ...now is there a song you'd like to hear?" No, he says, "I just want to stand here and watch you work". After about ten minutes of me telling him he needed to step away so other customers can get to the booth, he refused. So now I have a gay stalker on my hands. He's complimenting me up and down and making cat calls...I now knew what the girls walking past construction sites felt like. So I called a bouncer over to escort him away, and then he starts hitting on the bouncer following him all over the club. Too funny.
