Pick up lines… you call it a deal breaker or ice breaker or simply the opportunity to create for yourself the start of a conversation out of nowhere.

Using pick up lines is a common belief and practice when singles do not have much to start a conversation and at the same time do not want to look or sound stupid or maybe do not want to show desperation ( which you cannot hide). Have you ever wonder why these pickup lines often work for you friends and not for you or vice versa (I am pretty sure you will agree me with this).

The problem is timeline, attitude and the actual delivery. There are singles that hit the bulls eye at the wrong time and there are some who are on time but at the wrong place.

Here are top Four reasons why pickup lines don’t work for you –

1. When pickup lines are not direct to intended for targeted singles. For example, you will use the pick up lines target to a group of singles and no one understands for whom it was intended.

2. Pickup line with no eye contact. Just imagine why some one would be interested in you if you do not have the courage to make eye contact. This sends the signal that you are confused what you want in life.

3. Too blunt or low, how many time you heard someone said “excuse me”. This indicates either that the person is shocked or had a hard time understanding or hearing you. In both the case your efforts are wasted.

4. Too personal… how can you make a personal comment to whom someone you don’t know. Pick up lines that target looks or use names in a funny way will never be appreciated at all. Try to keep yourself in the same situation and you will feel the pinch.
