How many times have we heard cheesy pick up lines like:

"Nice shoes. Wanna bang?"

"Your name must be Gillet, because you're the best a man can get."

"Did you wash your pants with windex? Because I can see myself in them."

Using a line like these will get you nowhere with a woman fast, chances are she will not even speak to you.

Consequently, bad pick up lines get too much attention, therefore everyone thinks all pick up lines are lame.

And this just isn't true.

A good pick up line will actually do what it says - help you pick up a girl!

The true point in using pick up lines is to begin a conversation.

That is all.

After the woman begins talking with you, then you work your magic of getting her to date you, her telephone number and the emotional connection.

Remember, if you do not begin a conversation, you cannot do much more.

You want something more that just talking to a woman; you want to engage her in a good conversation. Drawing her into your conversation is the only means of continuing your relationship journey.

Good pick up lines help you do this.

It is natural to be nervous when going out to meet women, being unsure what to say; however, most often you miss your chance to meet a good woman, simply because it takes to long to think up something to say.

That is why it's important to know one or two good pick up lines that actually WORK. Because for those situations where you can't be original, you need something to help you take action!

Never, consider that you can slide by with a line such as:

"Don't I know you from somewhere?"

All women know this to be a lame pick up line. You might think you're being clever when you say this, but you're not.

Other bad pick up lines include, asking for directions, complimenting her on her clothing and telling her she looks like some big celebrity.

Why?

This is because these lines do not engage the woman into a conversation with you, once she answers your question, she may not show interest in conversing with you.

Bad pick up lines have yes and no answers. Good pick up lines get a woman to thinking about her response, while encouraging an emotional reaction from her, this causes her to want to continue talking with you.

How can you engage a woman in conversation with you?

The easiest way is to ask her opinion about something. Every woman has strong opinions, and they aren't afraid to share them! (Particuarly when they come to relationships!)

So to give you an example, you could say something like: "Hey, can I get your opinion on something real quick? Do you think it's wierd for a woman to try and get pregnant because she wants her baby to be born under a certain astrological sign? I really want to hear a woman's perspective on this."

Then you can follow up with a story about how you know a woman who wants to make sure her kid's zodiac signs are compatible with hers so they will be well behavied as they grow up.

These various types of subjects for conversation can be about:

1. Astrology 2. Children 3. Pregnancy 4. Marriage 5. Relationships

The numerous ideas for conversations are unlimited. Here you will find a few of my favorite follow-ups.

"Are you a believer in astrology?" (This can begin conversations about destiny and fate.)

"What is your zodiac sign?" (This can lead to talking about your sign compatibility - as a general rule, no matter what your sign is - you are compatible!)

"Are you fond of children? You seem very nurturing."

This could go on forever, surely, you get the idea.

A good pick up line design draws a woman into an interestingly deep conversation, while allowing you the opportunity of getting to know one another better and becoming familiar with one another.

This is how you engage a woman in conversation.

At this point, it's the easiest thing in the world to get a phone number from a girl, and possibly even set up a first date.
