girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?

[KelliV]

This one guy from another team last year came up to me... it was actually really gross... and asked me if i would help him play with his balls. It was so gross... needless to say some guys on first are just icky.

I've never been to a FIRST comp. No one has ever tried to "pick me up". Until track regionals last year, nobody had ever told me I was hot (a couple of my guy friends signed my yearbook, but I think they were just trying to be nice). Geez, it hurts when guys talk about "cute" girls. I'm a very shy person and I would have the hardest time trying to start a conversation with a guy, though I did give this dude (that I have a major crush on) a handmade Valentine card (which he loved!!!, I think...). If you have any pointers, PLEASE tell ASAP!!


Sorry so long.

Ohhhh trust me, I know how you're feeling. I have changed so much since high school (no guy had ever asked me out or got near me in high school)... and FIRST is the reason for all that change. No guys really approached me at FIRST Regionals either; it was I who had to learn the art of walking up to them, starting a conversation with them about their robot, and let it go from there (boy, did that usually work too! ). It's a skill that has evolved into an ability to talk to VIPs and getting them interested in FIRST.

In addition, I've noticed that guys usually talk ABOUT "cute" girls but they don't talk TO them. Us enginerd girls are far too interesting for them to pass up . Nevertheless, If the guy would prefer the "cute" one, then they are not my type anyway.

lalala- being "hot" and being the cutest girl shouldnt be all wht guys want. It should be about personality and acting yourself around guys. Thats was very awsome and a very great idea that you made the handmade valentine card for your crush. Thats being yourself and tahts what guys shoud look for, or hopefully. Dont be scared to talk to guys, just be yourself and itll all be good. If you have trouble starting up a conversation with a guy..ask him anything...liek if hes in a sport ask him about that and how its going. Or just in general like Hey Whats up..Hows it going...hows your day. Im a very talkative person and very random as sum people tell me so i just talk about butterflies or llamas sumtimes to any one even if its a guy in my class thats cute...hell just laugh and start talking to me about llamas or butterflies!


As far as getting pick up lines go...all them are cheesy...i havent really had any at robotics competetions...but in gymnastics class when guys are in there working out with us theyll just act stupid and try to hit on me with stupid cheesy pick up lines that i just laugh histercally at for like 15 seconds then get back to wht i was doing and pretend they hadn't talk to me. lol

[busterblade16]

not to sound really stupid, but are there any good pick up lines out there?

[busterblade16]

If there are any good pick ups, let me know. i could take any from guys or girls

[nehalita]

my suggestion: skip the pick up line and just talk.

i find pick-up lines a turnoff because it just makes me wonder how much that line was used - not cool. i'm less likely to respond to a "hey girl *insert cheesy line*" then a "hey, i'm from *blank*, is that your robot?"

hahaha .. but at the same time .. a guy with the guts to use a FUNNY pick up line (yes must be funny) is worth talking to for some time because you know he has to be somewhat interesting .... maybe not to go out with though

yes i'll give you that. i'm definitely a sucker for a sense of humor. if you can make me laugh, you got +2 cool points right there. perhaps a pickup line so-cheesy-it's-sad would make me laugh. just as long as it's not the "ey gurrrrl". reminds me of those *insertword* ppl who honk at you when you are desperately trying to get home.

[busterblade16]

i was seeing how people would react ( was kinda of serious)

anyway, i really dont use pickups. they dont make any sense.

[lalala]

guys who come up to me that are sweet and funny, not ones that act like morons, will get my attention.

[busterblade16]

i wonder if people think im sweet and funny.

[nehalita]

well you'll just have to wait and find out won't you

<psst.. Guys.. learn from these strange collection of words these females speak. When you are able to get inside their heads, you will either A) Learn a lot, and learn how to talk to them and thus lead to a relationship and/or a life long friendship, or.. B) Learn way to much, and end up running away screaming. - Either way, it'll be a learning experience. And if you learn nothing else in FIRST, at least learn how to interact socially. Because, even if you don't go into a Science, Technology, or Engineering career (as is the whole (original) basis if FIRST) when you grow up, you will still need to know how to socially interact.>

Trust me.

[busterblade16]

guess i will have to wait and find out...
