A list of ten pickup lines, guaranteed to help you ladies get guys to engage in witty conversation with you:
- “Hi.” (Be generally friendly and strike up conversations and you might just find someone interesting to talk to.)
- “Can you close my bracelet for me?” Or “Can you help with this crossword puzzle answer?” or any other plea for assistance. (Make the guy a hero.)
- “That’s a cool pocket-watch. Where’d you get it?” (Ask a question that takes more than a grunt yes or no.)
- “Don’t you think Batman’s cooler than Superman because he doesn’t have super-powers to fall back on?” (Make the guy feel like an expert in something.)
- “You’ve got an iPod. Should I get the Nano or the 30 gig?” (Variation on the above, but with the guy-centric tech aspect.)
- “Do you think that couple over there is on their first date, or what?” (Make the guy feel like he’s in an “in” conversation.)
- “Can I sit with you so I won’t get hit on?” (Make the guy feel like a hero, paint yourself in an attractive light, and give yourself an excuse to buy him a “thank you” drink.)
- “This new Snickers bar is fabulous. You’ve got to try it.” (Be generous and engage his senses.)
- “So, what are you doing here?” (Look for something in common, esp. at some sort of social event.)
- “I never do this, but I think you’re cute and I got tired of waiting for you to talk to me.” (Just be direct.)
Certainly any of these would get my attention (if I was in the market — which, of course, I am not). Especially, of course, #4 …

Hey, if enough people post that, maybe some woman will finally use one of those lines on me! I’ve been waiting long enough…
