"Do your feet hurt? Because you've been running through my mind all day." If a guy said that to you, you'd hop into bed with him ASAP, right? Probably not. Glamour.com recently listed 12 of the most horrible pickup lines. As we
So we asked a couple of friends to get their take on pickup lines.
Pro
"Guys who take themselves too seriously when trying to lay a pickup line are too much," said Heather, 23. "My last boyfriend had dropped some cheesy line on me when we first met, just to break the ice. He knew I wouldn't fall for it, but it was funny and a good lead into a conversation about some of the ridiculous things we do to get up the nerve to talk to the opposite sex."

Con
"Pickup lines do not work! I'm embarrassed that some guys still think it's OK to use them as a form of talking to a girl," said Annie, 25. "If a guy used a creepy pickup line on me, odds are I'd roll my eyes, laugh and walk off. I would be much more interested in a guy who was straightforward and struck up a conversation with me or bought me a drink."
Bottom Line
Turns out, sometimes the worst pickup lines have the best results, if they're dished out with a good sense of humor. But any guy who seriously thinks we'll fall for his wooing cliché needs to get a clue. To really land a date, they've got to be delivered in just the right way.
While pickup lines usually get a laugh -- if not with the guy, then at him -- we still say that the world's best pickup line is five letters long: "Hello."
So tell us: Has a guy ever used a line on you that worked? One that tanked? What's the best way for a guy to approach you?

I"m Puerto Rican and was a member of the Spanish Club in high school. One day I was working at a Club fair, manning one of the tables with my best friend and trying to recruit new members. This guy that I had seen around school approached me and said "I want to make love to you under the Puerto Rican sun", to which my friend and I burst out laughing and I replied I didn't know Puerto Rico has its own sun". He was pretty embarressed because everyone around us was laughing so he just walked off. Later that day, he approached me again and he and I had a good laugh over it again. Needless to say, we dated for five years and he is now the father of my twins. To this day, my best friend and I laugh over it everytime we talk about him.

Worst pick up line EVER - "I would really rather have your friend, but she won't have anything to do with me." Smooth talker, huh? Oh, baby - take me now! At least I got a good laugh AT him!

Well this pick up line didnt work mainly cuz i had a boyfriend at the time n was rushing to work...
well i was rushing to get out of the train station and get to work. I was at a turnstile (not sure thats spelled correctly) and a REALLY CUTE guy looks at me and says "oh you dropped something". I do a full 360 thinking that i dropped my metrocard. I look back at him and he smiles and said, "you dropped my heart'. lol kinda cheesy but damn he was sexy!!! lol....

His heart? wow, not only did he use a bad pickup line, he said it wrong.
"You dropped something"
"What?"
"My jaw"
Requardless, I do doubt the pickup lines of the past have any effect whatsoever, but what if we came up with something more than a pickup line, just a really bowser way to say, "I'd like to go on a date, you intersted?"

I was at a bar and saw two women sitting outside taking together on this nice sunny day. The one of my interest was very cute and I wanted to say hi, so, I wanted until her friend left for a sec, went over to where she was sitting and told her; "Hi, I just had to come over and say hello, and the reason is because I think your very cute. Do you mind if I buy you and your friend a drink, she said, no, thats fine..I then ask, do you have a boy friend and she said yes...if that a problem, you can have your drinks back. I said, no thats ok, I guess it's my loss, I wanted to see if I could get to know you a little bit better. In return, the cute woman said, I'll let my boyfriend know that there are others out here who think I'm cute and he better pay attention...lol
So, I think if your truthful, the line is always very workable...even if you don't get the phone number, the smile tell's all...

Pick up lines can sometimes work I remember I was at the club with my two friends and we were all just laughing and having a good time sittin at the bar...when this sexy guy starts walkin towards us. We were all giggles when he finally got to us. He tapped on my shoulder and says " I got something for you" and I like the nervous wreck I am blurt out giggling "you really didn't need to get me anything" and he like a gentleman(spelt it wrong i know) says" Yes, I did I got you sex on the beach." My friends started laughing mehn he handed me the drink but I was dumbfounded my brain had short circited, it toke me two months to get my friends to stop lughing at me , but me and that guy went out for 2 years.

Pick-up lines have change with the times. I got one on My Space a request for friends from a guy who wrote:
"Felt like I needed more beauty and sweetness in my life...
... So I stopped by your page! =) "
he also told me he was not a stalker I guess this is suppose just sweep me off my computer.

I think if you want to introduce yourself in another way than just saying hello and
you want to flirt with the girl while doing so I think it wouldn't hurt to drop a pick up line to see her smile and make her laugh. yeah some pick up lines could be cheesy and some could make a fool out of you that's why it's important to think before you talk. you should always think about what you are about say to her and know how she would feel about it. Remember you are trying to get her number and trying to get this girl to go out with you that's why you should never ever use a insulting pick up line since SOME pick up lines are consider just that. it's simple Come up with your own fun way to introduce yourself to her other than just coming at her straight forward and call that your pick up line. never go by the used up jokes (aka pick up lines) the internet tells you to say and if you're able to make her smile, laugh and get her number trust me buddy a date with her will come as a gift to you for showing her a good time, I mean I should know this works for me every time lol. Remember Be yourself, be cool, fun and smooth and let her know your the guy she should be with! sometimes us guys worry to much about impressing a girl when there's really nothing to it. remember introducing yourself as a fun and interesting person while making her laugh is the master pick up line. There's no need for cheesy lines but go ahead if you must there's nothing wrong with that
