geezus, Alexi, no offense, but that was a bit extreme. You'd want to say something they can easily respond to.. For instance, if you were at a club, somehow approach up to a girl, and ask her opinion about certain element within the enviornment. Chances are she may have been to the same club before, so she probably already has an answer, and of course you may want to know much as possible about the place beforehand. Have a normal conversation. Your "pick-up line" isn't usually at the beginning, it happens in middle of conversing. Think of it as fishing, you're using a bait to lure the fish. The bait is the pick-up line. Also, telling a great story helps too. My rejcetion ratio is like 9:1, lol, so don't feel bad if you get rejected. Talking to an complete stranger isn't easy. This is why I'm asking if anyone has great ideas.
