    Simple question with 2 scenarios.

    You'r in a bar with your girlfriends... what would be the perfect opener for a guy to say to you?


    You'r in a bar standing by yourself... same question as above?

    I'm not a girl, but try this:

    1) "Hi!"

    2) "Hi!"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭Ruby-J


    1. Hi, any chance you would know of good spot to go clubbing?

    2. Have you been stood up? or Are you the first to arrive?

    ^yeah.


    There should a (male) dating advice forum considering the number of thread that have arisen about 'I cant find Mr Right' 'I've never had a girlfriend' 'I dont know how to approach women' type topic popping up in LL PI and AH lately.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    It;s the warm weather it makes people horny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    What Thaed said. If all else fails, get a grip... :pac:

    Also, get out there, talk to people, have a laugh, and imho quite importantly, DON'T SLEAZE ON ANYONE.

    Don't come on too strong, don't be pushy, just have a chat and a laugh. If ya meet someone you like, chat chat joke laugh and chat some more. Who know where it'll go?

    Smile at her, make eye contact, if she smiles back at you walk right over and say hello. Do this when sober not when drunk.

    Warm weather? :eek: I hope it's better wherever you are, cos it's crap down on the south coast of this fair country of ours!! :P

    But I do understand what you are saying about the warm weather factor. The old Spanish/Greek holiday is indeed wonderful for the sex life :D Something about the warm temperatures and the coctails.....

    Talk to the face - not the chest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider


    Jeez! I'm glad I got Mrs Spider! I wouldn't get a look in if I was scouting for girls! Seriously OP, the best way to find good chat up lines is try some and see which ones work. Eventually you will get a phone number! (oh and a few slapped faces!) :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,573 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Works for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,172 ✭✭✭Flojo


    Dear lord don't go for the chat up lines unless you can pull them off in a -'you're quite a funny guy'- fashion.

    To be honest - 'Can I get you a drink?' should work every time :rolleyes:
    But only once you've made eye contact and can tell if shes interested.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    ^ That's a bad idea imo.

    Far too expensive in this day and age.

    Prior to walking up to any girl, you should let your cock hang out, then proceed with a cheesey grin while pointing to said cock in a 'this could be yours' manner.

    Works every time.

    Aye well ofc I'd only advise it once there has been some chemistry between them. Depends on what your looking for ofc if its only one night stands then yeah it would be quite expensive but if thats not the case and you see an attractive girl and your both flirting from afar would it not be worth it? :P

    Depends on whether said cock is impressive. Some poultry farmers do breed for large sizes, but i believe the focus is mostly on good laying ability.

    Exactly what I thought when seeing the thread title:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    I hate chat up lines, the forced refuge of the original.

    When approaching a member of the opposite sex aim for two things.

    1) A simple nod or hello. We are all ( for the most part grown ups )

    or my preferred method

    2) Something that puts across your own personality and lets the person know that even if it was only for a second someone found them interesting.

    Splain please. Sounds interesting.

    Well i mean people want the opposite sex to be interested in them but they do little to get that personality across when approaching them and really, the only thing that differentiates us is personality.

    Look around any pub/club over a weekend and you will see people who all look mostly the same. We are largely trapped by fashion and what is available to us. I see gangs of lads walking the town, all on the hunt, all in the same shirt, with jeans and shoes, same haircut. It's pointless. A chick might as well randomly choose a guy based on appearance.

    Now, my methods are not for everyone....i have no sense of shame and very spend very little time wondering about how people perceive me because i am confident that at least they see ME in my actions.

    For example, i was on the Luas one day, sat down beside a very attractive lass and wanted to make conversation with her. The luas was packed, everyone jammed up against each other so i turned to her and just said "Well....this is a **** disco isn't it?" , straight away it got a smile and a laugh and we chatted from one stop to the other and i got off the luas with her number.

    It's doing the little things that show your personality that will get people interested, not offering drinks or using bull**** cheesy million times recycled lines.

    Expect the polar bear one, that one is brilliant.

    You see a girl who catches your eye and walk up to her and say "Polar Bears!". You will normally get "What?" as the reaction and then you say "No idea to be honest but they are good at breaking ice.":eek:

    That deserves this


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 870 ✭✭✭Pen1987


    haha... that polar bear line is SO old, it is great though.

    Instead of using it as a basic, 'how much does a polar bear weigh?' - She either answers 'I dunno' or if she knows the line, everyone seems to, 'enough to break the ice'...
    I like to say, 'no, it in fact weighs somewhere between 500 and 600 pounds, it is, in fact, one of the heaviest of the bear species... jesus, I thought you looked like the type of girl who'd appreiciate the beauty of nature more than just a cheesy line!'... blah blah blah, once again thanks to the polar bear for breaking the ice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭mollybird


    god i've never heard that one. i really must be out of touch. i just like guys being themselves. i can't stand chat up lines. it's so fake. if i'm on my own at a bar then if they came up to me and said i noticed you with your mates and just wanted to talk to you when there was less people around. but for me i get a guys attention by my dance moves on the floor.

    if you girls have ever watched save the last dance you will know what i mean when the lead guy is dancing with his ex for a few min you will know what i mean. it has guys going :eek:. hehe
