Pickup lines have a bad reputation in our days. This caused, generally, because they are associated with losers, which sitting on the different pickup web-sites in hope to find any “silver bullet” to reach a success with all girls in real life. Your success can’t be based only on one phrase, because you will need to say something more and sometimes you will meet the “breakers” and will need to handle with them. Because of this you need assertiveness and sharpness. And decide what do you want before start a conversation - find a girlfriend, only someone to talk or you want to merry today? Try to build a conversation in accordance with your purposes.
Culture changing in last century and things which was acceptable in past are surprise today. It was something ordinary even in 60s to talk with any girl what you like. Today it’s really hard for most of young men to talk with girls. And pickup lines were created to resolve this problem - to help you to start a conversation, break the first barrier, which is the hardest for most.
The second opinion - is that pickup lines are completely useless and can’t have any effect. This is an extreme assessment - it will be wrong to say that you should never use chat-up lines.
Often, boys use pickup lines to break the ice between them and girl they like. But you need to remember that you main target is to make you interesting for girl, and lines with flattery and roughness will only increase thickness of ice. In some situations its better to use only “Hi” for the beginning - and that’s can give a result. But also you need to take into account place and situation where you are, for example - not all girls come to a library to find a boyfriend and in this case there is no matter how good is your pickup line - it will be failed.
The different question is originality of your line - girls will like if you try to use something fresh and funny. Avoid copying famous actors or using old well-known chat-up lines - girls also watch movies and surfing the internet - and you will look foolish.
Most of men who use pickup line forgot anything what related to decorum, For example, they never ask girl for name and use words like “darling”, “love”, “baby”. Many girls hate this manner, in truth. And remember that sometimes you will collide with “breakers” - phrases, which are targeted to beat pickup line and you will need to do something with it. Without self-assertion and sharpness you will fail in any case - it will be only question of time. But, once again, self-assertion doesn’t means enormous self-confidence. Girls like strong mans, but this doesn’t means that they like self-loving geeks.
