Let's be real now

Hehe. There's a big difference between a pick up line and a general pick up. One of the best pick ups is the kind that the girl doesn't even know that the guy is doing it.

I think you are being a bit harsh....saying someone is stupid and all for giving out thier number. I mean, how do you get to know someone without talking to them first? How do you go on a date? If safety is your concern, don't you think talking on the phone is safer than talking in person?

yall keep saying I'm being harsh. dang you must accept any old thing, don't matter who the person is. you honestly don't get it. at all. man if you knew what it was like where I live. you can't just walk up to someone and be like "can I get ya number". um no. do I know you? then no. maybe where you are it's safe to do that. but not here. there's mad pedophiles, tons of gangs, etc. you don't just hook up with any old person you want. lol not here you don't. that's why I can't stand when guys walk up to you, don't even ask your name or whatever, they just ask for your number or ask you to hop in the car like I've known them all my life. as if everything's all gravy. try again sir. and especially if the girl is young. if you're in your twenties and you're trying to ask out a girl that's like 13 I mean come on. that's just nasty.

Well you're mixing two different things here. You can't compare some guy in his 40s asking you to get into his car, to some guy around your age asking for your number! Obviously the first guy is just a creep that should be avoided, but the second guy is, for what he does in this situation, normal.Asking girls for their number without really knowing them is perfectly normal, it happens all the time. It doesn't always lead to dating, sometimes it leads to absolutely nothing, but if you saw someone that you liked straight away but you had no time to talk to them to find out more about them, would you just let them go without ever knowing what they're really like? Now, if some guys are coming up to you and asking for your number before asking for your name then they're idiots, but others are actually trying to get to know you. But of course you're well within your rights to tell them to fuck off anyway, just don't judge everyone for having the balls to come up to you.And New York is not the only big city in the world, there is danger anywhere in the world when a complete stranger comes up to you. But as I said, just don't judge everyone so quickly.

Cleveland is no joke either kid.I just don't understand your rationality of saying people are stupid for giving someone thier phone number. It's not thier address for Godsake. And since when did giving someone your phone number equal 'hooking up' with that person?

Lish, please don't catch an attitude with me. I'm not the one. bring that down just a little bit and there should be no problems. and I never said they were stupid. if you're talking about my first post I was referring to the person being asked not the person asking.

bob- I'm not trying to categorize people into one category but I don't understand why you guys don't get why I dislike the fact that random strangers whatever age just come up to you asking for your personal business, and then curse you out when you deny them. is it bad that I don't like that? I should just accept that now? and be like "hey sure, oh and let's go make out in the corner over there while we're at it". you guys.... foo... you should know me better than that. but I'm not going to get into this, because I see where it can lead. maybe it's because of what I'm used to and what you guys are used to, that you don't understand where I'm coming from.

If a guy around your age were to see you on the street and want to talk to you and possibly get your number, how do you think he should go about doing so?

"hi I'm so and so. what's your name?" or "nice to meet you." and let it continue from therenot"ayo ma lemme get ya numba!" Lord knows I'm not your ma

Quote:"hi I'm so and so. what's your name?" or "nice to meet you." and let it continue from there You don't consider that a pick-up?

I don't care about pick ups lol. yes, it's verrrrry annoying and I'd rather go through my day without them. but that kind of engagement for a conversation is better than the latter.

Approaching a girl on the street is a tough thing to do. You're already in an awkward setting and the girl is in the power position because she already knows the guy is interested. It's an easy position to get turned down. I agree that it's not very suave, but some girls like being in the power position and go for that sort of thing. For all they know, you'll go for it. In their mind, better to take the chance than to let an opportunity slip by.

Don't talk to me like a child. It's funny how your pm was apologetic and your post to me is attitude.Of course I am talking about your first post. Your first post is what I originally replied to. You basically said, anyone who gives out thier number to someone that asks for it, is stupid. I disagreed and asked why you felt that way. That deserved your attitude and you basically calling me a slut????

i wanna ask one thing...say i walk up to u and say hey i'm caleb. wuts up.. bla bl bla..i can;t think of mothign to say..... and then after the bla bla bla... i say here is my number call me sometime and lets meet for lunch. would u? (and u can't say u know me (u've never seen me)cuz all u know is my bad spelling and grammer..lol) when i first read this i kept thinking ur just not giving guys a chance..... but i'm not too sure if that's really how u meant this post..........or is it? ok it was acually two things.........lol btw..i'm not the kind of guy that would do that. ( too shy..girls scare me) but my brother asked his gf out that way. she called him that week and their still dating.

I'd most likely consider it but it depends. But I wouldn't ignore you or anything like I usually do. it's just like how people usually do it from my experience it's just rude and disrespectful like you could care less. if it was more in a decent and nice way then sure. Lish you are ridiculous. the friggin pm was after the post explaining it but whatever. I'm not getting into it with you. let it be. 1

Let it beeeee, let it be, let it beeeeeeeeeeee, let it be.Whisper words of wisdom, let it beeeeeeeeee.
