Here's one I told a girl I had a crush on in 9th (last year) grade [it's like something team87mascotguy said]:

If you looked in a mirror holding 12 roses, you'll see 13 of the most beautiful things on Earth

LOL, did it work?

That's the cutest thing in the world! Oh my god that's cute!

Aloha,

I was having fun in Texas with one of the kids from Brazil. But the "pickup line" I used on him at Rutgers was, "Hey, do you guys have any buttons?" That has to be the best way to get someone to at least notice you're alive.

That os the most common line in robotics, it always works.

Any guys got any buttons? ;)

Nope, after I told her, I learned she had a boyfriend. But she thought it was really sweet.

Thanks. ;)

ditto... that romance stuff really does work. *cough*..guys..*cough* ;)

I figured out something, ask Tyler on 662 (Halon) I usually talk to my guy friend, long distance, at my expence mind you, and to tell other guy friends I do it and then go "Well I would call you, but don't have your number" That is so uber awesome, I now own Tyler's number, haha. I told him I had to post it, it has works like 5 times so far, whee.


As for something totally sweet. believe it or not, I will levae the person nameless, less they wanna fess up, but one of my friends is going to try and make a 4 hour round trip, twice mind you (once for parents to meet me, and the other for my prom) to come to prom with me. He is also canceling a trip to the keys he had planned, that is like the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me...::blush::

this is true, but be careful you're delivery is good,
b/c there is nothing worse then a romantic line
turned stockish

and for all of you guys thinking
'I'm not gonna bother being romantic, that stuff never works'
just think of it this way:

some girl comes up to you w/ a flower
looks deep into ur eyes and tells you
how beautiful they are,
would YOU not go weak in the knees?

haha, OK, well, i don't know,
maybe you should know the girl 1st.
but from what i know of my experience,
it turns the guys into mush:p

try something subtlety sweet 1st
if that's the approach you wanna take,
but be careful you don't come off as a freak
if you don't even know the girl...
unless that's the impression you wanna give
which is cool, i guess:D

I heard from a young teacher on another team that some boys are not very adept or polite when approaching the young ladies. She was on an elevator with a boy who said to her "Yo, you have some fine a-- b-----es on your team!" To which she immediately replied "Excuse me? Number one I am a teacher. Two you will not speak to me that way and three you will refer to me as Miss!"
Needless to say the boy was quite surprised.
A little tip to you fellas
1. Make sure the girl you approach is a actually a teenager.
2. You may want to use more endearing terms than "B---es" for girls.
3. You want to make sure they appreciate your interest before speaking.
Just a few suggestions.

I wouldn't call this lame, rather I might go so far as to call them smooth...

Well, both occurred on the same day, at Midwest. Hehe, and both were from the same team (imagine that ;) ) Well I saw one of the guys who had been on this particular team and graduated two years ago. Hehe, ironically, he had also hit on my two years ago at Disney--craaazy. Anyway, when we got done talking he slipped me a card with his # and sn when he hugged me goodbye.
The other guy is friends w/ Luis, a guy on my team, and he wanted his contact info. So I, being the nice person I am, offered to go get it from him (the guy from the other team). So when I went to get it, he wrote it down on a slip of paper and he was like yeah, and you can share this with Luis (the guy on my team) if you want. I was like hehehe...sweeeeet. Needless to say, at nats I found him again and well yay:)

this is vaguely related to robotics- one day, at a meeting, a bunch of us were talking about cheesy pick up lines. one guy apparently said his favorite was "baby, if you were a car door, id slam you all night long."

a few weeks later, at competition, my friends retelling this story; she repeats the pick up line. keep in mind that a guy said it. well, when she retells it to me i mis-hear her, and think she says "baby, if you were ricky ricardo, id slam you all night long." suffice to say, i was freaked out until she realized what i must have thought and corrected me. still an ongoing joke between her and i.

Thanks [ashamed /me hasn't read this thread in like....3 months...]. More better stuff has came around though

talking about roses...
 

My friend decided to be very sweet to his girlfriend on valentines day. during brunch {which lasted 15 min] he sent his friends each with 3 roses every 3 minutes and give it to his gf. of course, the last batch was done personally.

who can be sweeter? haha
