You hear about pick up lines and buying a girl a drink but today tell the truth. A guy notices you and really wants to get your number.. what is the best combination of words he should use to ensure success?

Introduce yourself, offer her YOUR info. & be a gentleman.

How hard is that?

Guys need to remember MANNERS.

Well for me...just be nice. Introduce yourself and flirt a little an let me know your into me. Do not bring up anything sexual an you will get my number. Just be nice!!

Stay away from the cheesy pickup lines. There isn't going to be a magic combination of words that will automatically get her to give you her number. Don't try to act the way you think she wants you to act. As the others have said, be yourself.

What oldsage said

just introduce yourself, be real, and say i would love to take you to dinner, and ask for the number

First, and this is VERY important, you must NOT be trying to get her number. Instead go in, say hi, introduce yourself and shake hands. Then start a conversation. Ask her an open ended question. Get to know her a little and see if there's any sparks. Have fun and tease her a little.

DO NOT tell her how pretty she is. She already know that because every guy in the friggin world tells her so. Complement her on her mind. For who she is, not for her looks.

You are so hot! = Bad

Wow, you are really know a lot about X. That's cool! = Good

Find out what's unique about her and tell talk about that. Let her know that you can see deeper into her than other men do.

BE REAL! Be your true self.

What he said.

i can say no to any of them

You know what I have always paid women compliments and i have always got the same reaction every time! They light up like a christmas tree! How you say it matters, but the thought a woman does not like a compliment is crazy! women love flattery, it is the most powerful tool a man has to winning a ladies heart! You just have to be smooth about it that's all! Good luck with telling them how smart they are! maybe talk politics?

intros that are HEAVY in self respect and respect for females (knowledge of music and love of dogs is a plus too..lol)

Confidence ( aka Self Respect ) is good...but so is being a bit humble.

By the way..I used to be a DJ and I LOVE my dog.

LOL

haaa,, good sense of humor is nice too

My problem is that there are very few females who actually LIKE my sense of humor. LOL

I usually get a whole lot of " What's WRONG with you?? "

Best example...I was at a meet up thing for a site I used to be on. I was kinda sitting around with a friend, but I started to get bored. So....to amuse myself, I started going around collecting name tags and pinning them to my shirt. I wound up with something like 30 of them. My shirt was completely covered.

I also met my last ex for the first time that night and she told me that her first reaction, and for six months after that, was that she thought I had a couple of screws loose.

* shrugs *

And loose screws, in a good way, are okay too! LOL!

I think TS has the right idea. Compliments on looks from total strangers are nice sometimes, but some tend to overdo it and it starts to see very insincere. If you want to get to know them and date them, chances are, they know you already think they're attractive.

OUTSTANDING! I'm really glad to read about someone getting good results. I never said my way was the right way. And I agree that it can be done. But, it's not about what you say. It's about HOW you say it. Your tone and body language. Those are hard to explain in a short forum post.

You can say "Wow, you into Beethoven, Golf AND you're smoking hot? Somebody pinch me I must be dreaming." I'm sure that would get a good vibe going.

But, "Wow, you are so pretty. Can I buy you a drink?" smacks of putter her on a pedestal.

Perhaps you could give an example or two of the kind of complements you give women? Please, elucidate.

(I love it when I can throw in a $10 word LOL)

S'up, Shawty? Wanna sip some 'yak in the back of the 'lac?

LOL "When you're done on that pole I have some coke in the limo."

Never understood how the word "shawty" evolved. WTF does that suppose to mean? That she's short? It's challenging for us 40-somethings to stay hip to the lingo, the gangsta', the Twitter, the texting, the IM'ing, the fashions, the music. Give us time to catch up will ya?
