How Not To: Hit on Girls
I was talking to my guy friend about catcalling, and he pondered why they didn’t understand that’s not how to pick up a girl. Of course, I had to provoke him and ask him what the true way was. He obviously doesn’t know, because he plays the guitar and has an awesome body so girls just fall on his lap for the most part. But here are my lists of don’ts on how to hit on girls.
1. Do not bring up her body. If you just met her, or you’re not far into conversation, you probably don’t want to tell her how great she looks in that dress. It’ll come off as piggish and that all you’re after is her ass (even if that’s all you are after). Maybe an “I love your smile” would be a bit more appropriate, because girls have other features other than their tits and ass you know.
2. Do not bring up her ethnicity. Yeah, yeah, you LOVE her ethnicity’s food, you’ve dated a girl with the same ethnicity as her, you’ve always wanted to visit her country, etc. etc. etc. Basically, you just come off as a fetishist. No one wants to come off as a fetishist. Just think about it. Your first impression on her will be “The guy who likes latinas.” Also, even though her food and country make up her culture, does that really say anything about her? And who gives a fuck who you’ve dated in the past. Think wisely.
3. Do not pretend you met her before. This by far is one of the cheesiest lines to date. It’s a bit reminiscent of the latest episode of Modern Family, but the true nostalgia hits when I remember the first time I ever got hit on. It was my freshman year of high school, and I was waiting outside for my mom to come pick me up. This guy approaches me asking me if I’m so and so’s cousin and if we met before. He drags it on for 10 more minutes, detailing where we could have met (THE TEEN CLUB OF ALL PLACES), what my “cousin” looked like, when it was, etc. Being an ignorant girl, I was just so confused. Who was this guy? Is there some lookalike out there? What is going on? Then he asks for my number, and it finally clicked. Don’t do this. She’ll either be confused like me, or she’ll know what’s up your sleeve.

is this wut a girl wants, or wut u want?
But I swear, I knew you from somewhere!
You should give a guide on “how to hit on girls.” Help out “man”kind.
For guys to think about, there should be enough in decent guys to interest girl without requiring the use of such cheesiness mentioned in this blog and probably other vast assortment of other cheesy pick-up lines that could offend/peeve a girl. If you as a guy can not further yourself from such cheesiness and can not rely on your true self, then you as a guy need to work on yourself and any probable insecurities you may have so that when you do approach a girl, instead of the front of some temporary confidence or the use of clever pick-up that is short-lived, the interesting person that you are shall shine through and can better reach her heart.
I like your dress, you have style.
#2 – ugh. Being of Chinese descent, I’ve had the fair share of “non-minority” dudes using Chinese phrases to me and mentioning dating Asian girls in the past, etc. Grinds my gears.
@mrqtran - i’m pretty sure this is the general consensus of all girls.@aznspartan94 - that’s for you to find out!! :]@cbr600 - this comes off a little homo. hahaha.@Keeko1 - i know right? once i was at the airport and this guy in security was hitting on me telling me that he used to date a viet girl and that he loves vietnamese food and he would love to see vietnam. and i was like, cool story, bro. shouldn’t you be working? i mean, this is why 9/11 happens.
guys dont learn
they try to chat you up, you tell them that you’re not interested, they still keep on talking.they try to ask for your #, no # were handed out, result to stealing your phone and enter their number in; even when you told them its going to be deleted and you’re not gonna call
when I was in Taiwan some guys definitely brought up the fact that I was American to flirt with me… it was pretty hilarious
I wasn’t offended, but I wasn’t exactly interested in them anymore either haha
@XoAsianBabioX - girls expect too much. thinkin about unnecessary shit
@raspberryjade - that was me! hello! i found you.
you have a nice forehead.. does that count?
@Made2Order - haha! well in that case I hope our brief exchange in Chinese both amused and impressed you!
@raspberryjade - oh yes indeed, i was so impressed, you became the white truffle of my eye. talk more chinese to me~
lol, too funny! But as far as #3, it’s ok if you actually met them before to say that right?
Unfortunately, when done right, these rules don’t apply to a girl.Here’s a pretty good list for the do’s and don’ts of hitting on girlsDO:be cutebe hotbe sexyDON’T:be uglyv—–
Ironically, girls are the WORST people to ask advice — on how to talk to girls.Why? They are more likely give advice on what NOT to do. The advice they do give on what to do is even worse such as “be yourself”.If girls ever want to give advice, then they should be the ones to initiate in relationships – so they understand where guys are coming from — and that the “right way” is actually something very difficult for many guys.
didn’t we meet in Hong Kong?
I never did any of that, I’d just say a few words and see if they were interested in talking some more, I noticed when willing it was like a door was wide open. But most the time, I’d just get a stone faced
in that case I’d just shrug and move on.
omg i have 2 guy friends that use the ‘i’ve seen you somewhere’ as their opening pick up line when i’ve gone out as their official ‘wingwoman.’ they don’t listen when i tell them it doesn’t work and they need to step up their game. lol you would think being a woman myself.. they can learn a few huh?#2 omg #2~!! i hear often ‘i’ve never been with an asian before’.. my reply to that is (after i laugh) ‘and with that line~ it’ll stay NEVER~
