Can someone help me? I am socially retarded (sorry if the word offends.) I have got no game whatsoever when it comes to picking up women at a bar. I see guys doing it all the time, how do ya do it. What is a good opening line (and a seriously good openeing line, not cheesey bs.)

Just be yourself! Greet them, compliment them and introduce yourself to them! Most women like guys that are confident and who can also hold a "GOOD" conversation

You have come to the right place.
Dating advice abounds here.
Of course, it is worth slightly
less than what you pay for it :-)

I don't go to bars so I can't think
what might work on me.
Less words, more look, I surmise.
Honesty might not hurt.
'I don't know what I am doing, help me?'

It's all a crapshoot :-)

I've always been partial to "Get your coat, you've pulled" myself.

Only kidding. Confidence and sincerity is the only thing I would suggest.

I always talk to guys in pubs - I've met some great guys while standing outside having a ciggie...but its never gone any further because in the back of my mind I always, think if he's chatted me up in a bar, who else has he chatted up!

I don't think there's an exact science to chatting people up in pubs/bars because it's about getting in there before she's three sheets to da wind :smile:.

Hi is a good way to start. Then if there's something that caught your eye about them, let them know. Stay way from the cheesy pick up lines.

I have no idea. I did try to dance with one my buddy set me up with. I bought her a drink. I asked her to dance. We had a good time dancing and set down. Everything was going nice. Then my buddy tells me it is time to go. I am kind of hesitant for she seemed like a nice lady and we were having a good time. Then, my buddy says we got to get out of here. He starts up my truck and I see the guys with billy clubs, pool sticks and beer bottles. I get this feeling that maybe it is time to go. As he rounds the truck in front of the bar I barely make the tailgate holding on for dear life as he spins out with me holding on. Later, he tells me that her husband had friends and that they were coming after me. I am thinking, husband? laugh My buddy thought it was funny. I was still scared.

I disagree for the most part. The cheesy lines don't show that they're trying. They're just using the cheesy lines they've heard in hopes of it working.

Once in a while, depending on the guy and how he acts, it might be a bit funny. But for the most part, it just comes off as sounding incredibly cheesy.

You kind of left out the "seperated" part in your post. Might have something to do with the responses you are getting.

To the original question why not just ask a lady to dance and be satified if someone says yes?

Here it is, step-by-step...
Hello, my name is ___________(say your name).

Now ask a question.
...Can I ask what you are drinking,it looks good. This opens up the posibility to buy her a drink.

...What type of music do you like? Wait for answer and say what type of music you like. This opens up the possibility to ask for a dance.

...or if it is a sports/bar type of place...Who is winning?



I think you can take it from here.

Lose the dress.


I wore a dress to a job interview (at a bank no less) that was loaned to me by my roommate at the time

she neglected to tell me that the zipper spontaneously unzipped by itself

of course, it was my imminent good fortune to have my dress come completely unzipped (neck to thigh) during my job interview

As others mentioned just be yourself. Cheesy lines just make a guy look like a fool. I am assuming that you are just looking for a one night stand as you stated you wanted to "pick up a girl" and did not mention you were looking for anything serious. I think if you are looking for something more serious; don't soley rely on bars. Get out and join some social groups or volunteer. JMO
