Breaking-ice tricks...

    Hi people :D
    As you know he hardest part in approaching a girl is breaking the ice really, also the best looking man sometime doesn’t know how making the initial move.
    Here there are some tricks that I can suggest:

    Basics: it’s really important (although not strictly necessary) to have a eye-contact with a girl you like. ;) If you have this link, you have 2 things to do:

    1) Go to her.

    2) say\do something…not completely stupid.

    From that moment you can’t beat a retreat, so choose one of the following sentences.

    Shy-looking approach: :o

    A) hi, I am x, whats ur name?

    B) Hi are you having a good night?

    C) DO you come here often (but I would avoid that question, tbh)

    D) "Any chance of a light" (if you are a smoker, of course)


    Funny approach: ;)

    E) Hey, I’m not gonna keep you long. Just I was having a discussion with my mates and….

    Self confident approach::D

    F) I saw you looking over here, you should have come over and said hi

    G) You are so nice/your dress is so lovely/you are really gorgeous… Can I know your name?

    Super Self confident approach: :cool:

    H) Hi, Im Mr. Right, I believe you were looking for me

    Ple feel free to add any other suggestion or trick (and if you are a girl, what you would like to hear froma boy who is approaching you) ;)

    Bye and good luck!!

    Dude. You need to write a book.

    Yeah, I was gonna say run the container under warm water for about 10 seconds, twist and turn it upside down but....

    Oh and lets not forget the lines

    I was watching Richard and Judy (shhhut up!) and Neil Strauss was on... he wrote a book on how to pick up women. Anyway, he mentioned that men should "peacock" to get attention... to illustrate his point he was wearing a pair of gold cowboy boots. See, the girls see the boots, and THEY are the ones who approach him... so his work is done.

    Unless they ask him why he's wearing gold cowboy boots, I guess. That'd be tricky to explain.

    Or you could try subliminal messaging.

    Example:

    "I find a great happenis in assking myself the important things in life." :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,145 ✭✭✭DonkeyStyle \o/


    lol, nice one. :D
    I'm just trying to imagine how you'd emphasize that sentence.

    I like the shy guys so I like these two options the best. I just want guys to be polite and nice initially; there's always time for flirting and teasing later...

    :D

    How about... 'because I'm a cowboy'?

    Could open up a fascinating line of conversation...

    Will only work if you are willing to keep talkig, and DO NOT talk about giving them up, generally I just hand over the light, take it back and finish my smoke, unless the guy is willing to back up the chat with something witty to say

    These are good, the funny appraoch is generally good, I think if a guy comes up and you know they are trying to chat you up, then we're far more judgemental, try and make someone laugh first, then ask her name (or his name as the case may be!)

    Guy: Eh..sorry to bother you like this but I was just wondering if you knew how much a polar bear weighed?

    Girl: Eh..no...sorry?

    Guy: Well, enough to break the ice anyway.

    Just say hello. That is the best way of "breaking ice". Then you can start with the small talk.

    BEST. LINE. EVER! :D:D:D

    Some of the worst ones I've heard...

    "Hi. I have a tractor. Will you go out with me?"

    "If you say yes I'll leave your ma alone!" (He was serious unfortunately. Thankfully my mother has better taste...)


    I know a good one... it's so cute!

    Ask someone if you can have just a moment of their time to ask them a question... take their hand and draw a line and a dot on one side of the line...

    Guy (or girl): "The line is a river, the dot is a rabbit. Now, the rabbit needs to cross the river. Does he:
    a) Jump over it?
    b) Swim across?
    c) Go around?"

    Girl: "Um... jump across?"
    Guy: "Nope"
    Girl: "Swim across?"
    Guy: "No, I'm afraid not"
    Girl: "Oh! Ok! He goes around then."
    Guy: "No"

    ... <silence>...

    Girl: "Well, what does he do then?!"
    Guy: "I don't know, I just wanted to hold your hand!"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭quank


    Hummmmm... that sounds promising ^^^


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    How about...

    "Give me your home address and I'll send you a live spider in the post and we'll see if it survives the journey."

    Girls love sh*t like that.

    LOL class...

    When they walk by and you connect, bend down as if your picking up something and say

    Confident....

    I think you dropped this (hand her your number)

    Cheeky...

    Pink i love pink ;):D

    Or "You remind me of a puppy I once ran over"

    Some of my favorites.

    "Hi, do you mind if I talk to you until its safe back where I farted?"

    "Dont I know you from the bus?"

    "Heres a funny Joke I learned in prison"

    "Excuse me for interupting, and Im not trying to make a pass, but you must be leaving the country if your packing that much ass...."


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,648 ✭✭✭dundalk cailin


    thats terrible things to say to girls!!!

    Excellent line, but are you supposed to say "to be honest" afterwards or what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 339 ✭✭cianr


    "Ill bet you €1 I can make your breasts move without using my hands". Then use your hands. Best €1 ever spent.
