Meeting
a woman for the first time is the ultimate romantic
opportunity for guys. At no other time is the right or wrong
word more likely to turn us from lucky to loser.
Should you be open or play it quiet and shy? Impress her
with your wit or let her do all the talking? In the end, an
effective line is all in what you say and how you say it. Here
are a few to consider and some to rule out.
1. "You remind me of someone I know."
Cliché? You betcha and right up there with "What’s
your sign?" But for some reason, this line refuse to die.
She could remind you of your mother or a serial killer you saw
on TV, for all she knows. Do your little part in retiring
these two lame lines and promise to never, ever use them
again.
2. "Your place or mine?"
Another classic always ready to appear out of thin air, this
one could actually take you places — but remember to look
before you leap. Make sure that she shares your interest
before leading with this trite tidbit.
3. "That’s great, but can we talk about me
now?"
Famous last words of the man who can’t get a word in
edgewise, they are also interchangeable with, "If you
didn’t drive, then make sure you have cab fare home."
Guaranteed to get you slapped in the face and stuck with the
bill.
4. "You gonna eat that?"
One way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but if you
resort to this line, your brain must have been left out of the
equation entirely. Your
