1. Walk up to the girl with the multimeter and say, "hey, want to see my second favorite way to use a multimeter?"
2. Girl should reply, "sure."
3. Have her hold one probe in her left hand and you hold one probe in your right. Set the multimeter to resistance mode (2 Mohm range if manual ranging).
4. Ask her to hold your hand and talk about how cool it is when the resistance number goes down.

At this point, you've already gotten her to hold you hand, but if you'd like to continue:

5. Say, "and that's my second favorite way to use a multimeter."
6. Girl should ask, "what's your first favorite way to use a multimeter?"
7. Respond, "showing you my second favorite way to use a multimeter."

And that should do it. I've tested this one, and it works. And you have to admit, it is a pretty clever way to use a multimeter.

Alternatively, if you're feeling really ambitious, after step four, when you're each holding one probe and she holds your hand and the resistance reading drops, say, "see, you cannot resist!" Disclaimer: I have not tested that one.

Ultra-disclaimer: Entire above post is all in good fun. Girls: please do not hate me.

Too fantastic. Though most of those of the male persuasion that we encounter at competition arent quite as... "suave" shall we say? I distinctly remember being hit on repeatedly by guys in the most obvious and awkward manners. Boys, if it's a girl you seek, be genuine and comfortable.

Last year, my favorite "hit-on" quote was as follows: "Blarglefish will spare you!"

Poor guy.
