Have you ever let the most attractive girl in a bar to walk past you just because you didn’t know how to approach her or what on Earth you should say? If that has happened to you even once, this article is just for you!

These 5 easy to apply and simple pick up lines are the perfect openers to get your foot in the door with the girl that’s interested in meeting. We also included a quick explanation into why they work so you aren’t just saying things without any reason.

1. “Hey, I don’t want to be too forward, but I saw you the moment you walked in and I had to introduce myself!”

This is very simple pick up line that most women probably won’t even view as such because it doesn’t look like you’re trying too hard and you actually want to have a conversation. It works because it shows you have genuine, not just physical, interest in her.

By losing all the frills of those fancy pick up lines, she will feel comfortable and willing to talk to you. You don’t want her to be bored by your presence so you need to be confident and easy going. Be real, honest and positive and there is a very good chance you can have a productive meeting with her.

2) “Hi I’m (name), this is my friend (name), and he thinks we’d make a cute couple. What do you think?”

This is a super simple pick up line that will work only if it is delivered with a positive attitude and good energy. If you feel confident enough and like you are in a good mood, you should try something like this. When you approach a girl with a smile and say something confident and assertive like this, without being overbearing or cheesy, she’s likely to be very intrigued.

Furthermore, the line ends with a question which creates an opening for conversation and tones the assertiveness down a bit to where it doesn’t seem like you’re making demands or taking liberties.

Of course, you also need to have a wingman for this one. The importance of the wingman is not just for the delivery of the line but he also provides social proof and helps to create a social vibe instead of a sexual pick up. That’s the main reason these lines work – they seem like nothing more than just beginning of a casual conversation between two people. Use the funny approach to start an interaction and just keep up with positive vibes!

3) Comment positively on her hair, clothes, nails or makeup

Women get told everyday how beautiful they are. They’re catcalled on the street and their dm’s are flooded with men telling them how beautiful and sexy they are. This particular approach works because it disarms her to some extent because you aren’t commenting on her beauty or her body (not directly, at least). It also shows that you pay attention to detail and women put a lot of time and effort into their exterior appearance when getting ready so a positive compliment is usually well received.

The key here is how you follow up on the comment. You can ask her if she usually does her hair like that or where she got her dress so you could pass on the info to your sister – it doesn’t really matter – just stay on topic for a few more exchanges and then transition into a conversation beyond the opening topic (such as what she does for a living or if she’s from the area).

4) “Hey, you have to tie your shoes! I do not want you to fall for someone else, do you?”

This particular line is a bit on the corny side but it should work pretty well if you are calm and self-confident, instead of playful and excited.

The key is to be self amused as well, because you know that you are using bold pick up line, so you couldn’t care less. It is cheesy but funny and some women will find it amusing, even though they know that it’s a line. It will tell her that you are attracted, interested and that you aren’t approaching as friend, so you don’t have to worry about being friend-zoned.

5) “My buddies bet me that I wouldn’t be able to start a conversation with you because I’m the shy one. Wanna buy some drinks with their money?”

Easy peasy. Works great even if you’re shy because women aren’t averse to shyness as long as you’re not a creep. Furthermore, like #2, having friends provides social proof which will make you more attractive and not seem like some shy, lonely guy trying to get laid.

PS. when using this line, make sure you have a number in your head for how much you “won” in the bet.
