you don't need pickup lines.  They are cheesy.  Just be yourself and go have a real conversation with her.  At first, say "Hi, my name is _______"  Be genuine.  It is not necessary to impress her, or seek her approval.  Turns some women off.  Be yourself.

first find out what her likes and dislikes are....what shes interested in...this is for when you approach her you dont end up saying the wrong thing and she completely blows you off. you could "accidently" bump into her one day...then compliment the way she wears her hair or the smell of her perfume....or say she has a pen or some other article...you could ask her where she got it from...pretend youre interested in getting one...(good conversation starter)\ngood luck!

Just start with "Hi" or you could try and include her in a discussion as she walks past "Hey what do you think of zyx, by  the way I'm 'name' and you are ...?", or pick one thing about her that you like "hey sally, that's a nice necklace, is there a story behind it?"\n\nHave a look at the link below for more ways of approaching women, and the lessons learned can be applied to other areas of your life.

If he is smiling at you that sounds like an invitation for conversation. You should accept his smile as an approachable opportunity to introduce yourself.

You can start by a simple stare (and smile) if you are not comfortable with the direct approach. After you do this on a few occasions, you will be stuck to her mind and then the opportunity will come when it will be just natural to start a conversation.

It's not bad, but I would alter it a little.  \n\nsay instead:\n   "I couldn't help but notice how beautiful your eyes are"\n   "hi, I'm _______ "\n and then she will say hers if she is interested\n\n  then start the convo from there or just get the number.

Just talk about whatever.  "hey, how was your day?" "what are you doing this weekend?"  Ask her about her interests, school, family, etc.  \n\nIf you click it won't be hard at all.

Usually you can talk about music - but in any case, just chat them up askin' what they like to do, etc.  Somewhere you'll come across common interests, and be able to talk more freely and openly.  Always use eye contact - guys love that... esp. that "dreamy" look.

Don't be too open or you'll freak the other person out. Don't be too imtimate too soon, but important things should be discussed.

wrong approach: "hope you don't mind"  , if you don't think your worthy, why should she?   Instead, tell her you saw something that you wanted to share or made you think of her, compliment her on some attibute that you find attractive ( her laugh, her brain, her quirky sense of humor, etc....)  Leave an opening, or ask a question. to encourage a reply. But this is your first written interaction, take it slow, let her warm up to the idea of corresponding, leave her your IM address.  And don't freak out if she doesnt reply, its spring break, why should she check her email account?

Well, it may sound cliche, but mannerisms are a hint.  I say hint because of all the "halfway" metros (no offence).  No, honestly, the best way is to actually talk to this person.  Be polite and professional, and after a while, you should know.  Best advice if you are interested.\nHowever, if you are not interested and just want to know if this person may have a thing for you, you really need to understand that it's all around, everywhere you turn.  Unattractive girls, homosexual men, if they end up having a thing for you, take it as a compliment, let them know your position, and that's that.  They should respect your decisions and lifestyle, and if not, the issue is not with you so you're in the clear.\nHope this helps.

Comment on what the person is wearing, especially if it's an obvious eye-catching thing. People love to talk about themselvs. Just ask them about them.

Can you two hold a decent conversation?  What is the majority of your conversation about?

Just be normal and ask normal stuff, i.e. 'hi, how are you'? You are more likely to get a nice flowing conversation this way.

start with eye contact, a nice smile, and a hello, or hi, then let the conversation develop from there.

im assuming the conversation thing wouldnt be that much different between straight and gay relationships. \n\nnot sure if you already know them or not but if you dont i normally approach them with a little nonhurtful bust. \n\nex- (if a girl has high heels on) ill approach \nwow whats the deal with the shoes.\nwhat do you mean\nnothing.. they sharp\nohhh thank you.\nno.. that actually wasnt a complement ... i mean theyre sharp.. like could kill someone sharp.. so your like what 4'2 without those, right?\nthis sets you up as a challenge, original, starts a conversation and shows your confident. \n\nIf you already know them a couple of key points \nPeople are attracted to confidence. \nPeople are attracted to humor.\nPeople want what they cant have.\nPeople also love mystery.\nNot to mention talking about themselves\ni try to use these 5 concepts when trying to pick up someone\nwhether its your first approach or 5th date it doesnt matter really what you say nearly as much as the way you say it and the way you carry yourself when you do.\ntherefore.\nAct as your qualifing them rather than qualifing yourself to them. Unless they are stupid they will know you are interested when you come up or call back or set up another date (whatever stage you on) but dont be at their bekon call , make them work a bit to get you and give them gift of missing you. (obviously dont go overboard with this) \nadd a bit of confident humor in it. and give them some mystery by not talking about yourself much at all. if they ask tons of questions just answer them with what they would want to hear then funny it up \nex. so how many guys are you dating right now..\n- none..... my wife really gets jealous easily.\nor if they are really pushing this works great on women so i assume the opposite would be true.\n(insert nosy question here)\n"one thing youll find about me is i dont play 20 questions... i prefer truth or dare..... and im afraid you're just not that lucky"  see,... confident, sexual ref but not perverted, funny and sets you up as a challenge. \n\nuse these and he will probably ask you out. if not definetly shouldnt abject to a cup of coffee. good luck man. you'll do fine
