Meeting people these days is fairly easy, but getting their phone number for a future date may not be so easy. No one likes the idea of being picked up with a pick up line. It seems so insincere and unprincipled. A pickup line can be used effectively, however, if you employ the right tactics. Wit, intelligence and charm will add tremendously to the outcome. If you are not wise and honest, pick up lines will not help too much.

The steps suggested below should be used appropriately:

See if the seat next to her is taken. Just because there are empty chairs where she is sitting, doesn’t necessarily mean that she is alone or wants company. This pickup line is effective because it is primarily unobtrusive and also a very easy way to start a conversation.

Tell her that you like something that she is wearing. Flattery is a toxic thing for women. Because, they put quite an effort into their preparation in dressing up to impress men. If you do simple research to get information on women’s fashion before you go, it could be a huge bonus for you in showing admiration.

Ask her for dance. Here’s your chance to make her feel appreciated. Be comfortable and behave yourselves while dancing with her. Appreciate her dance. Tell her that you enjoyed tremendously and it’s been a very exciting experience.

See if she feels the same as you do about the place that you are in. If you say something indirect like "Isn’t it a bit warm in here?" Or "Don’t you think this a classy place?" Then she can answer and walk away, or sit with you and continue the conversation that you started.

Following are the top pickup lines that can be used on both men and women.
