Pick-Up Lines

We guys usually think that we need to have pick-up lines before we finally decide to approach a girl.

Here's my take on it.
Pick-up lines don't work. period.

Be yourself, say what you would normally say to a stranger/your female friends/buddies. It shouldn't be any different from a topic that you would bring up when you're talking to a hairy old woman or to an anorexic panda.

Don't give her that "God must be missing an angel" bullshit, cos' girls have probably heard it more times than you practicing it in front of your mirror while trying to have that right tone.
So scrap that shit.

Saying a simple "Hi", could always work though, that's if you have something to talk about after the Hi. Duh!
Like the weather, the way she's dressed up, the book she's holding in her hand, how irritated you are with something during that situation etc.

Conversation openers are what you should be looking for, so stop scouring the entire web looking for nice pick-up lines to use.
Go start up a topic with your neighbour that takes the lift with you.
Practice always makes perfect, so use them as your guinea pigs.

Besides what are neighbours for right? Always there to help.
