    depends on the setting or girl i guess (not very helpful) but if in a night club or pub then the music or what not.

    why not join some sort of club linked to your hobbies/past times. that way at least you would have something in common and a good ice breaker.

    I would suggest that you just stop trying ........ as soon as you do that you will act natrually & that is all that girls are after in the 1st place!

    Simple. Ask questions.

    Its safe to assume that someone is going to think you are interested in them if you are asking them questions. What they do, what they do when they are not working, what interests them, where they are from etc etc etc. Answers lead to "Oh you are from such a nice part of the country. I knew someone from there once. Blah blah..." and so it goes. Make sure you listen to what they say though.

    Extra kudos if you ask them what they wish they could do. Not very many people ask that.

    I agree with everything said so far. A lot of girls like to be slagged as well, so do that a bit. How old are you?

    lol, pictures op going up to girl in club "hey ya fat bitch, wanna go out sometime?" I know what you're sayin Hurin but that requires a certain personality. I have a mate who pulls it off perfectly, its more being cheeky than slagging them. If I tried it tho I'd get a slap in the face.

    I hope i'm not being rude, but the fact that you mentioned your height in such a way makes me think its a factor in this for you. Don't let it be. You're the same height as Tom Cruise - he's not lacking in confidence/money/fame/a back-catalogue of beautiful girlfriends. If you have any self-confidence issues it'll show and THAT will be the only turn-off.

    hi gaga, look mate you need to develop a strategy for picking up girls, its not easy but if u put in the work,with a gsoh and a lot of practice you'll have a ball!!
    *some tips
    1. when u see a girl u like in a bar or wherever decide straight away 'am i going to go up to her or not'?..have like a 3 second rule...
    2.A good idea is to warm up on some not so hot girls and treat it like a stretch session before the real game
    3.dont take yourself too seriously, if u get blanked so what, seriously so what, at least u were man enough to try, girls dig a man who's got guts..
    4, forget chat up lines etc just wake up say hi and never buy them a drink unless u are really enjoying her company and actually want to do so..
    5. try to get a good wingman who'll take on the ugly gatekeeper friends..u can do every second one or something
    6.dont forget every now and then throw in the odd comment like,'u look tired' or some ambiguous insult, this works great when u then reward them with a compliment after they have tried harder to get in your good books...

    stick by these guidelines 90% of the time and u will be fine, now just go out and have fun!!!
    let me know how u get on...
