Pub liners Ladies don’t want to hear.The moment any guy opens his mouth and throws a woman a pick-up line, his words immediately override his looks. A bad first move can transform a stud to dud in a flash. Babble, mumble or stumble and the proverbial cold shoulder awaits. Language can pose a problem. So be sure the woman understands you, otherwise even the best pick-up line will have zero effect. Here’s a tip. Be alert and discretely approach the bartender as she makes her order, and listen attentively. Granted the din in any pub may require raise voices, avoid shouting into a woman’s ear. Use a pen and pretend to fumble for a loose piece of paper to write down what you want to say. You don’t want to pull out a note pad, which can appear nerdy or make you seem as if you do this for a living. Truth be told, a woman likes to feel special, as if she is the only one that got you to act with ’such uncharacteristic spontaneity’.
Be careful with your tone because there is a thin line between confidence and arrogance. Eye contact is important and emphasises your genuine interest. Unless you want to end up scraping your melted ego off the floor, forget about a false front or slang. You might impress upon some unsuspecting female but if a woman consciously chooses to sit at the bar solo, she knows the game and its players.Mannerism and approach aside, cheesy pickup lines can leave us feeling more flustered than interested. I solicited the help of my girlfriends on one of our recent girls’ night out at Boat Quay to build a list of really bad pick-up lines. Three pubs later, a decent list was developed and here are seven of the most common ones we heard that night. All cheesy, all lame and all, well, unoriginal.
7. Do you come here often? How come I’ve never seen you before?
6. What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
5. Are you a model or something?
4. Excuse me, can I buy you another drink to cool your hot body down?
3. Are you looking for some fun tonight? Hi, my name is Some Fun Tonight!
2. You look like my ex-girlfriend.
1. You look like my girlfriend. (Duh!)

The pick-up lines that worked best were simple but yet promoted conversation, e.g. about the music, the place, the people and compliments that were not too over-the-top. ‘Yes-and-no’-type questions get you no where. Talk about yourself too much and it’s a turn off. Ask too personal a question and up goes a defensive wall. So just go with the flow and take things to different levels each time she issues a hint verbally or through her body language. A woman is unlikely to take her seat at the bar wanting to be alone for the night. It may not be sex she’s after but chilling company. Still, it’s a step in the right direction. If you come off like its sex that you must end the night with, chances are, a cold shower is the only thing that will offer you comfort for the night.
