Pick Me Up

Ever have those moments when you walk in to a room and you want every guy in there to run over and just say, “Hey.. I want you!”? Well ladies, the thing is most of them think that, but they just don’t do it. My goal for this post is to make a brief clear statement of how to make that happen… to a degree.

“Come Hither Look”:
I like to think of this as a classier version of the eye F#@%. Please do not drool and look like you are stalking the poor gentleman just trying to order a Stella. The goal is to catch his eye a few times. You want him to know you are intrigued and definitely looking at him with out making it awkward. Then ignore him for as long as possible without bordering on the timeline of closing hour for the location you’re at.

“Pick Up Line”:
This is your time to play the cutesy girl next door with a hint of bimbo. I give you three options to ask. One, “I’m so sorry to bother you but you look so familiar. Do you work at ____ (fill in blank)?” Two, “This may sound extremely random, but is your name ____ (fill in blank)?” And third, “Can I ask you a question? Do you live around here because I’m looking for the nearest ____ (fill in the blank)?” When you ask these questons come off as you are not interested in him. You are merely asking a simple question that anyone in the room would know. Continue the conversation based off which line you use for a few more sentences. Never let him ask you a question. If he does, answer his question with a question. For example, if you are asked, “are you from around here?” or “did you grow up in ___ ?” you can respond with, “why? does it seem like I am not from here?” Please refrain from any cold monotone. The key is to throw him off with your sexy intrigue not turn him off by your bitchiness. After a good five minutes or so, walk away. Enjoy your evening with your girlfriends. Chat up a few guys. And wait for him to come back to you. It’ll happen, I promise. Just never give him a cold shoulder.

Phone Number Slip:
The dreadful handing out of phone numbers. Simple, if he asks for yours, turn it on him. “Why don’t you give me your number and I’ll text mine over to you.” DO NOT text him your digits. When he tells you he didn’t get it use the “no service” excuse. “It will go through when I get service outside.” I know you’re smart so just come up with some lie verbage. If he doesn’t ask for your number but he has seemed interested in you, ask for his number. Most likely he is nervous that you aren’t that into him because you’re coming off as hard to get (right?) so he just doesn’t want to be rejected. If anything he will be turned on by the fact you are so ballsy as to ask for his digits. The test with this is to know if the guy is interested in you or not. If you do get his number use the FOUR day rule. Yes, we have all heard about the three day rule because we all sit and waited by our phone on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday to hear from the guy we met over the weekend. We are sneakier then that ladies. We use four days to throw off his own guy code rule. How much more shocking is it to receive contact from someone after we have given up the thought that we had a chance? When ever we need to make a move, put the thought behind it, “how would i feel?”. Sometimes when we put ourselves in their position it gives us a clearer view of what steps we need to take.

Three tools to know if he is down for you: body language, conversation, and outside influences. If he has his body turned towards you and not away it is a sign he is open to you. If he is leaning into you instead of pulling away it shows he is intrigued and wants more. When the conversation is a lot of him talking, even maybe a bit of rambling, it comes off as nerves. We all know what that sounds like. Him nervous is good. When he distances himself from his friends to continue to be around you thats a great sign. Tip for that, tell him you don’t want to keep him from his friends. It gives him a free out if he needs out, shows you aren’t a clingy girl that wants all the attention, and tests his interest level in you. If he leaves, well, the answer to that should be clear enough. 

That pretty much sums up the female art of being picked up by a guy. So take that desire to be mobbed in a place by hot guys into action. Doll up, grab your wing-girls, and go play. Boys aren’t the only players out there.
