Attention all guys: Ever wonder why you keep trying to pick up girls and all you pick up is the tab at the end of the night? Here are some tips to help you be more aware of the “do not’s” when trying to pick up that girl.

DO NOT USE CHEESY PICK UP LINES

“I like your outfit, but I’d like it better on the floor,” or “Hi. I’m from the FBI, fine body investigators, and I need you to assume the position.” If you have tried to pull one of these lines on a girl, I am sure she giggled or smiled, but walked away. You may have thought, “Oh yeah, she’s feelin’ me. Cha-ching!” However, what she was thinking was, “What a perverted loser,” as she walked over to her friends and said exactly that about you.
If you’re one of those guys who are the exception, and you’re confident using a pick up line, just make sure your conversation doesn’t end when your line does. Don’t be a one hitter quitter. Keep the conversation short and sweet so she knows you’re interested, but not a “Stage 5 clinger.”

DO NOT BE THE CREEPY FETISH GUY

When you meet a girl, no matter how much you look like Brad Pitt, if you’re a creeper, she is going to start ignoring your calls quicker than you can say “just kidding.” When you think a girl is interested in you, don’t feel comfortable enough to ask her if she would like “a tantalizing foot massage” on your first date. If you do have a foot fetish or other bizarre fixations, wait for the girl to warm up to you before you start asking to lick or smell her feet. Otherwise, you’re liable to go from “Bob” to the “creepy foot guy” in her cell phone.

DO NOT BE THE OBNOXIOUS DRUNK GUY

A girl is not going to be impressed with you slurring your words or “accidently” grabbing her to keep yourself from falling over nor vomiting or almost vomiting on her new Steve Maddens. The fact is that you probably won’t even remember what you said to the girl you were trying to pick up while she is wishing she could forget you because you were a blabbering, drunken fool.

DO NOT BE THE “PLAYA” OF THE NIGHT

Never start a conversation with something like “Baby, when can I take your clothes off?” Anything you might say after that will not matter. Beginning a conversation with sleazy comments and blowing kisses while trying to seduce a girl with your raised eyebrow is a serious “Do Not.” Acting like that makes girls think you’re only interested in one thing; no one wants to feel like a side of beef. If a girl sees you hitting on every girl you bump into and getting numerous phone numbers all night, you don’t look like the “cool player” you think you are to anyone except your buddies. With STD’s flying around like the Swine Flu, girls are not impressed with the “man whore” approach.
