So I was at a party the other day with a ton of girls, and I decided to approach what I thought was one of the hotter ones (props to me for overcoming AA). I used an indirect situational opener (although I'll admit, it wasn't a very good one) so that I would just come off as friendly and sociable, and she responded with a sassy "So THAT'S your pickup line?" Apparently, she didn't agree.
I kind of fumbled around with my words and tried to justify my response/opener, but my response wasn't anything an alpha-male would say. The interaction ended awkwardly with her turning back to her group of friends and me turning 90 degrees and talking to some of my friends (neither group of friends witnessed the interaction).
Basically, I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on how to rebound while still persisting. I personally am one who would rather persist than just insult the girl back (or give up) and walk away.
I was thinking of trying something like: "Okay. So [pretend] you're me. You walk up to you. What would YOU say to you?" This is said in a casual, serious, non-sassy way. Then, she responds with something like: "Try 'Has anyone ever told you you have beautiful eyes.' or 'Well fuck me if your name isn't Jenna.' Anything but [your opener] !" or whatever; who gives a shit what she suggests. To which I'd respond: "Okay [pause]. Let's start over." Make a seductive face/smirk and speak slowly: "So. Has anyone ever told you you have beautiful eyes?" or whatever pickup line she suggested. Back to normal face and say in a normal tone: "Better?" Then she'll hopefully laugh, be disarmed, and I can begin a conversation with her. Maybe say something like "so, let me guess. you get hit on a lot don't you?"
I also read some good responses on "The "F*@k Off" response!" post here (
the-f-k-off-response-vt47079.html). My favorites were:
-And here I came to complement you on your shoes.
-Pleasure meeting you too.
-Ya my friend said you looked like a bitch but I bet him you weren't. Now I'm out $20 bucks, but at least I know he knows his shit.
-On a side note, I usually like using casual situational openers, depending on where I am or if the girl is wearing or doing something interesting or noteworthy. But in this particular situation, all the girls were in bikinis (so none of them was really peacocking) and the girl I opened was pretty much just standing around, not giving me much to work with. Any not overly-aggressive suggestions for openers for girls in bikinis that aren't peacocking or doing anything in particular?
