Avoid the 10 most common Pickup Line Mistakes

  • You think about the line but don’t approach
  • The mistake that is the hardest to fix. In case you feel really bad about approaching others just go and ask people for something of use, for example the time, when the next bus comes, whatever. Learn to approach, then you can work on approaching someone who you are attracted to.

  • You wait for the right moment, but the Person leaves before you get up
  • You make up your mind all night long, watch the person and wait for the right moment, just when you are about to get up and say your line they leave and you get back and don’t even use that opportunity to start a conversation.

  • You don’t have a feeling for the right moment and approach creating a bad feeling from the start
  • You see the person is busy, you see they are interacting with someone and have a good time. You just intruded their personal space and force them into a conversation, which they actually don’t want. You are fighting an uphill battle now and it’s pretty hard to win it.

  • You approach from behind and yell into the ear without a warning
  • Imagine you stand at the bar and talk to your friend. Without a warning a stranger appears behind your back and yells: “HEY HONEY CAN I GET YOU SOME DRINKS AND A FLOWER?!?!”. You’d feel at least awkward, how do you expect a woman to feel when you approach like that?

  • You have nothing to talk about after your pickup line
  • You have a great line, start a conversation and then you just don’t know what to talk about. You stand there silent and then after a few minutes people leave you with the feeling that there was far more potential and you just didn’t live up to it. Fixing this is actually pretty easy, find some interesting hobbies, nag about other people in a friendly way, make a few funny remarks and improve your social status.

  • You can’t approach groups alone
  • In case you have trouble to approach groups alone get yourself a friend who goes out along with you. Most people who go out have a few friends with them, it’s for protection and to see who has actually the guts to approach a group and survive in front of them.
    In case you don’t like to approach groups at all, just pick another place like a grocery store.

  • You smell bad and/or have bad breath
  • Damn you have been doing sports the whole day and took your last shower three days ago? You know how to fix that, you don’t have to look like a supermodel or movie star, but you should be well-groomed to stand a chance.

  • You don’t get through with your line, give up and feel bad
  • Every once in a while you won’t stand a chance, no matter how hard you try. It’s ok to give up after some time, but you should not feel bad. Probably that person just had a bad day, or you submitted a few bad feelings. Ask yourself the right questions and try to improve your game. Don’t think about why you sucked so much, rather think about how you can improve. You can even tell the person that it’s no fun to be around them and leave. Or tell their friends what that person thinks she actually is.

  • You think the Pickup Line you use actually matters
  • A Pickup Line is just the way to approach. The easiest Pick-up Line still is “Hi.” Some others just stand out and might spark some more interest in getting to know you.

  • You don’t run when you think that person is nothing for you
  • Damn, you approach and get through, but you feel that you don’t have a connection with them, that the other person isn’t smart or just unfriendly and not nice. You are not forced to stay. It’s always a way to say, “Nice to meet you, but I gotta get back to my buddies.” And leave.
