The Ones With the Top 10 Pick Up Lines Part 2

And the pick up lines continue...

5) "If I see you without a drink in your hand, I'll buy you one."

               This is the moment when I should have chugged the beer I was drinking, slammed it on the nearest table and said "Ok, let's go get a drink!" But at the time, the thought did not go through my head. I know, I am a fool. Of course, I did not see him the rest of the night and could not wait long enough for him to find me, so I bought another drink myself...maybe this one is my fault...

4) "I owe you a beer."

              I don't know how many times this one person had said this to me. I drove him home once when he was drunk and every time I saw him after that, he would say "I owe you a beer!" Funny thing was, he would yell it to me and he walked right past me...Finally, I saw him at the bars one night and he said it to me again. At that moment he was just handed a beer from a friend and that is when he finally gave me a beer. It's all about timing I guess. But now we have nothing to talk about...

3) "When I have kids, will you babysit them for me?"

               I don't think anyone would ever expect to hear this while out at the bars, not even me.  Back story- I babysit for someone I had class with and his friends all know that I do this. Mainly because when they all take my friend out to get wasted, I am the responsible babysitter. So, I'm guess he is either really excited to be a father and hire babysitters so he can go out OR he was extremely shit faced and that's the only thing he knows about me...still up in the air with this one.

2) "Are you a freshman?"

              Just last week a friend and I were asked this at the bars. Why yes mister, I am a freshman. At the bars. And I totally would love to go home with you now after you charmed me like that...NO NO NO! I know there are people out there with fake ID's, but they're all trying not to act their age and be older. What makes you think girls would like to be asked if she is a child? Because that's what freshmen are...sorry. So no, I am not a freshman, even thought I have a very child like face which I am sure one day I will appreciate. One day.

1) "If I was going to date someone right now, it would totally be you."

              Surprisingly, this was one of the top lines used on me and my roommates our last year of college. When you hear someone say this to you, you are not sure if you should think "Awwww, how sweet. He would totally date me right now but he is still trying to figure out his life and needs some alone time first" or "He is just saying that to make you think he wants you, but once he gets it in he will move on to the next." I have found out that neither are the correct assumptions to this. Sometimes people just are not looking for anything except just a good time with people they enjoy being around, which does not always mean they are only looking for that one thing.

So pick up lines may not be your best bet. 

What I have seen work for my roommate and 

a guy she met at the bars recently was a simple 

"Hi, my name is *insert name here*" and 

he just starting a general conversation. 

No bull shit, 

no awkward pick up line, 

no creepy compliment. 

Just a hello. 

That is all it really takes. 

If you can find something interesting to talk about, you're golden. 

If it gets to that awkward silence, maybe move on to the next one...

Cheers to your next night out on the town!
