You have gone through it 50 times in your head. You have received the pat on the back from your friends. You have crossed the room. You have her attention.
You have no idea what to say
Palms sweating, you stutter out some sort of pathetically awkward greeting. Though she is politely smiling back, you can tell by the look in her eyes that she is not impressed. You want to run - far away and then hide in a hole. What a disaster.
I think most guys would agree that making the first move can be scary business. People tell you it's all about the approach. They advise you to play it cool, but not too cool; act interested, but not too interested. Smile, act confident and watch the tone of your voice. But what on earth should you say?
For all you guys out there that are having trouble breaking the ice or making the first move, here is a list of 15 stellar pick up lines that are guaranteed to work every time.
