Why do guys use pick up lines,such as "Hey Baby,are your feet hurting? Cause you've been running through my mind ALL day!"when they know we aren't going to fall for it?

Because God/dess has a sense of humor: men were given a brain & an organ, but only enough blood to use one at a time.\nSorry to say, but it doesn't get better w/ age; only constant rejection causes men to improve that type of thing.  Sometimes.\nI am also reminded of the bartender's book in which he stated that the only pick-up line he'd ever overheard that ever really worked was "Hi."

If he says you're moving too fast it means he hasn't fallen for you in the way you've fallen for him.  Slow things down, to protect your relationship and yourself.  Not only do you risk scaring him away by moving to fast but you also risk hurting yourself by getting in to deep before he leaves.  Just enjoy the present and don't worry about it being "meant to be."

Guys take that as you are not interested in them. It makes it hard to talk to you if you appear standoffish, and some might think you snobbish.

Um...this is WAY too long and I'm tired. Good night.\n...\nFine! Don't TRY. Let it flow naturally. Otherwise, it just makes you seem desparate. I don't think guys like that...

You are a SMART guy for knowing when to pull back and when to act. And even smarter for knowing when to ask for outside guidance.\n\nBut quite frankly you DON'T need our help....you already KNOW the answer...you just need affirmation that what you're doing is the right thing...so here it is;\n\nKEEP doing what you are doing it's obviously working right.\nSo why change....\n\nKeep in mind that where the sexes are involved....it's all about the CHASE...not the capture. \n\nIt's NO fun when guys [or gals] drop at your feet and become your doormats, it's those that hinge on the outskirts of ellusivness that catch our eyes, and manage to take our breath away.\n\nI once did the exact same thing you speak of and I was crushed when the boyfriend, told me he just wanted to be "friends"...out of desperation [which is a sickening trait] I cried my heart out to him and begged him to tell me WHY? \n\nWhat did I do that was so wrong? \nThen I went on to tell him that I "did everything for you, there was NOTHING I denied you so why???" \n\nAnd I have never forgotten his response to this day, and that was OVER 30 YEARS ago...know what he said?\n\nHe said..."THAT'S just IT!"\n \n"You DID everything for me, I said jump and you jumped, I said NO, and you didn't, I said yes, and you did, IF I had said drop down and eat dog s*it you would have....It turned my stomach at how spineless you were. \n\nI stared at him in shock and said \n"That's called LOVE!"...\nand he replied...\n"NO, that's called being a DOORMAT! AN AS*KISSER!\nand NO ONE LIKES TO HAVE THEIR A** KISSED ALL THE TIME!!"\n \nThen he turned and walked out of my life.\n\nIt took me three years to recover from what he said but in the end HE WAS CORRECT....it's TRUE...\n\n"No one likes to have their a** kissed all the time"....and so I LEARNED from my mistake and stopped being a a**-kisser....\n\nIn the process I also went to college and studied humans and learned that humans are PRIMAL and like their four legged counterparts are attracted by the scent of the CHASE, not the actual victory....and so I became that which could NOT be caught...\n\nAnd suddenly I was in demand more so then I had ever been in my life....everyone was "chasing after me"....INLUDING the ex-boyfriend who suddenly decided I was something worth fighting for...but it was too late....his chance was over...\n\nI had become the "monster HE created".\n\n\nI have now been married for over 25 years, to a man who's a** I refused to kiss, and he says he loves my "spunk", and "sass".....go figure....but we are happy so something must be working right...right.\n\nIn the end the ex who parted with such words of wisdom....has never married...tells everyone who will listen that he's waiting for me...Ha! \n\nMy husband says that it's a clear case of "wanting what you can't ever truly have or possess"....that which makes your heart race, and body sweat....the CHASE.\n\nBut....All I have to say to the ex is this; sorry bud this CHASE is over for you. \n\nSo having said that I would like to end with this;\n\nNO ONE LIKES AN A**KISSER OR TO HAVE THEIR A** KISSED ALL THE TIME....so be a rebel....\nRemember it's the CHASE not the win that gets us all worked up and sweaty....\n\nSo stick to what works and she will ask you soon enough....\n\nAnd in the end you may surprise yourself to find that once she does ask YOU, that the tables have turned and now....she has become the "too clingy" one for you.\n\nHoped this helped...and thanks for the chance to relive some memories.

This happened to me one time.  A co worker seemed really interested in me and he started asking me personal questions.  I got the hint and told him I was already involved, then he said "Hold on baby girl, you got me all wrong...."  I felt like a fool to have thought he was making advances toward me, but I still believe that was his true intention no matter what his explanation was.  I think he was trying to save himself the embarrassment so he tried to make ME look like the fool (in which he did).  I just shrugged off the whole situation.  We still talked a little, but not much.  And eventually communication just completely taperred off.  I still don't appreciate how he tried to make me look stupid, but I knew what he was doing.

I'm a guy. It's hard because you don't want to mess up something that could be a potential go. Why don't you put yourself in our shoes.... We aren't sure if you like us in return (perhaps you already have a boyfriend), we're nervous because we probably think that you're out of our league and so on...... It would be easier if you let us know how you feel first. then we would be alot more comfortable telling you how we feel.

well, in my case...i will talk to you any chance i get. a sure sign is the infamous line when we call you, "well, i just called to say hi!" we might as well say, "dude, i'm in so love with you". a line we often use is the "we should hang out sometime," line. it puts it out there without putting a timeline on it.

I think this guy want to flirt on you, but in a wrong way. Not like his action like grabbing your head, putting his smelly feet on you...A good flirt is like eye contact, smile, soft touch and etc. It should be happy and comfortable.\n\nI think he likes you, but he is not a suitable guy for you. So, you can just ignore him if he still show the bad move on you.\n\nJoyce

It's hard to hear it, but he has already given you an answer.  One of the ways guys will try to let you know that they are not interested is to say "I don't want to hurt you, and especially "You are too good for me".\n\nIf you look at that statement it is absolutely ridiculous and means nothing, except that he is also lying to you.\n\nWhat he is actually saying is "I'm sorry, but I am not interested in you", and then also saying "but I don't want you to be angry with me so I'll pretend that you are too good for me and say that".  \n\nThat is your answer.  Now you have two options:\n\n1) You can continue to pine over him, knowing full well that you will not be with him, and get more and more frustrated because you KNOW you both should be together and you can't understand why he doesn't see it too...  yada yada yada...  You can cry to your girlfriends that he is the perfect guy while they roll their eyes and just wish you would shut up and get over it...  This is one option, and as you can imagine it will lead nowhere.\n\n2) Or you can accept that he doesn't like you.  It happens.  I'm 27 years old, and I've learned that broken hearts are one of the most difficult and also the richest experiences you can have in life.  \n\nIt takes a very mature adult to accept that the one that they want is not interested, and then to grieve for the loss of what "could have been."  I'll bet you have all sorts of fantasies about what life with him would be like, right?  These actually die when you let him go, so seriously... grieve.  Just like at a funeral.  Cry into your pillow for a day or two, and then let it go.\n\nI will bet you there is already a guy waiting for you who would love to be with you.  Why waste time on a dead end guy who isn't interested?\n\nI wish you the best of luck.  As I said, after 27 years of this, I've come to realize that even the feeling of loss can be very sacred and wonderful.  After all, it's called being human.

i have never met a guy who looked down upon a woman asking them out. honestly, more woman SHOULD be asking men out instead of leaving all that crap up to us. You see the corny pick up lines out there right? that happens bcuz we've run out of ways to ask you gals out. we're lost. help US. anyhoo, just ask him if he's busy and wants to do something. when he says yes, figure out that something will be. if you can't figure it out, post another question and we'll help you out. we all need our two points.

they can say it for two reasons, sarcasm or as you said, confirmation.\nFor example: if a nice guy a girl met says that and plants one on her hand, she'd be flattered. (this is very advisable if you care to capture a girls heart).\nAnd when they say it sarcastically they are also saying that they wish they never met you!\nI personally kind of like it! (this first reason)

Absolutelly not go for it, from a guy we are very chicken at times especially the nice guys the more agressive guys that would ask you out without breaking out in a sweat are probably not nice guys. Being confident is a sign of knowing what you want and sure of yourself a rare thing. I wouldn't say it would come off as desperate. Just knowing what you want and going for it!

most people cannot come out and just say "i don't like you." and even more people cannot come out and say "you're my second choice, sorry."\n\neven though we all know what it means, it is still easier to say "i'm not interested in a relationship right now" than to say "i'm not interested in you." because we are trying to spare his feelings.\n\nthere are some girls who can be frank. there are some guys who wish that girls were more frank. but on the other side, some girls cannot be straight forward and some guys appreciate that girls are not straight forward.

Greatest pick up line... Your boyfriend is an @ss.. he just left with MY girlfriend!\n\nMay not win her over lol but it is funny

I am guilty of that, the reason I give myself is that when I feel like they are going to leave me I'd rather cut it off to save myself the humiliation of being dumped. Perhaps its the biological chasing game...men seem to be a bit more okay with being rejected than a woman is since men are the ones chasing. I would never want to feel like the fool who needs to be told in her face that she isn't wanted, perhaps women know there are other options readily avaliable and she wouldn't have to start all over cos there'll always be some other man wanting to get in her panties.
