Some pick up lines are just terrible.

For example how often have you heard bad pick up lines such as:

“Nice shoes. Wanna bang?”

“Your name must be Gillet, because you’re the best a man can get.”

“Did you wash your pants with windex? Because I can see myself in them.”

Face it, using lines like this will cause a girl to run the other way. Pick up lines like these make you look like an idiot.

Because pick of lines such as these, which are bad get too much attention, while encouraging others to consider that all pick up lines are worthless.

However, this is not correct.

Using good pick up lines actually assist you in picking up a woman.

Keep in mind that the purpose of using a pick up line is to begin a conversation.

It is as simple as that, merely to engage a woman in conversation.

Once you get the girl talking with you, then you can work your magic and do what you need to do to get the date, the phone number, or the make-out.

But if you can’t get the conversation started, then you can do anything else!

You not only talk to a woman, you engage her, by drawing her into a conversation, and this is the only means to continuing with your goal.

Do you know that good pick up lines do just that?

It is natural to be nervous when going out to meet women, being unsure what to say; however, most often you miss your chance to meet a good woman, simply because it takes to long to think up something to say.

This is why you should know a couple of good working pick up lines. Situations like these may hinder you from being original and you need something to help you get the ball rolling.

Keep in mind that women are wise; never use these types of pick up lines, since they get you nowhere at all.

“Do I know you from somewhere?”

This is lame pick up line and women know it, this is not a clever pick up line and makes you look bad.

Other bad pick up lines include, asking for directions, complimenting her on her clothing and telling her she looks like some big celebrity.

Why is this?

These lines do not engage the woman, since once she answers you; the conversation has nowhere to go.

Good pick up lines avoid “yes and no” answers. They are about getting the girl to think about her response, evoking an emotional reaction, and making her WANT to continue to communicate with you.

So how do you engage a girl?

Asking her opinion of something is the easiest way to do this, since each woman has an opinion and they like sharing their ideas, especially about relationships.

So to give you an example, you could say something like: “Hey, can I get your opinion on something real quick? Do you think it’s wierd for a woman to try and get pregnant because she wants her baby to be born under a certain astrological sign? I really want to hear a woman’s perspective on this.”

Then you can follow up with a story about how you know a woman who wants to make sure her kid’s zodiac signs are compatible with hers so they will be well behavied as they grow up.

This leads to all kinds of different conversation topics, things like:

1. Astrology 2. Children 3. Pregnancy 4. Marriage 5. Relationships

The number of ways you can go with this are endless. Some of my favorite follow ups are:

“Do you think there’s something to astrology?” (then lead into more discussion about destiny or fate.)

“What is your sign?” (No matter what she says - be sure to mention your sign is compatible with hers!)

“Do you like kids? You seem like the nurturing type.”

I could go on, but you should get the idea.

So as you can see, this pick up line is designed to pull the girl into a deep and interesting conversation, and gives you the opportunity to get to know her better and allow her to become familiar with you.

This is how you engage a woman in conversation.

From that point, it should be rather easy to ask her for a telephone number and possibly set up a first date.
