A good delivery and good follow-through can make up for new line even if it's clearly a line. Laughter is a great aphrodisiac. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had that happen in RL but even then it didn't turn out to be more than just a passing acquaintance. I have learned from others that if you really want to maintain contact, you are going to have to put forth all the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanryDrago Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Personally I find the best pick up line is no pick up line. Merely talk sometimes you get a friend, sometimes a lover, sometimes a psychotic wierdo stalker....its like russian roulette with ims 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Schnook Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It wasn't intended as a pick up line, but when my first partner was exploring my land and I was a few weeks old (rezzwise), I could see his name but not him, and saw it at my window. So I asked out loud "Are you invisible or just very, very tiny?" He laughed and took off the prim that made him invisible (in the days before alphas), we chatted and were together for over 2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyelaNewLife Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Pickup lines can work as an icebreaker with me... sometimes. If they make me laugh. Mostly they don't. If you want to actually make an impact with me, I'd say just act like a normal human being. "Grug want sex, giv" won't work, neither will some pretentious rambling about how intriguing m'lady is, neither would anything involving third person roleplaying a paragraph for the word "hello". Just... be a person. I like people. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 11 hours ago, Love Zhaoying said: What pickup lines work best? Here are some examples I like: - Can I go shopping with you? NO - Could you give me a tour of your land? NO - I admire your avatar! Thank you (but unless you can expand on "what" you like about my avatar, I'm outta here). - Would you like to cuddle? HELL NO - Tell me about you, anything at all you care to share. Um, no, we don't start that way. I have a profile - try reading it. - Could you give me some style advice for my av? This one **might** result in further conversation 5 hours ago, Love Zhaoying said: Right. I could have titled better. My partial intent was “lines that would get you interested in the person”, leading to something meaningful, hopefully..not just pixel bumping. Hopefully leads to “I want to get to know you”. Lines, anything that sounds like a 'line' is likely to not make me interested at all 4 hours ago, KanryDrago said: Personally I find the best pick up line is no pick up line.

MoiraKathleen Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 9 hours ago, Love Zhaoying said: A line I actually use is, “My greatest joy is getting to know someone, finding those common truths that tie us together through our different experiences, beliefs, hopes, and dreams.” It helps me stay positive that we will find some joy in getting to know one another, no matter our differences. It helps explain that I want to hear their story, who they are, what they hope to find in life. The thought behind this is wonderful. In my opinion though, this should not be a pick up line that you say as you have it written out, but it should be your goal as to what you want to achieve during a conversation with someone. So, figure out how to bring about this type of outcome while conversing naturally with someone. Also keep in mind that many people may not want to share too much about their story or hopes that they may have during a first meeting with someone. They may want to wait until it feels for them like its clicking with the other person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunniHope Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 on several occasions now after a brief exchange of general pleasantries I've been hit with "I'm lagging here can we go back o my place to chat" and it usually results in a conversation not too unlike this .. HIM: I'm lagging, can we go back to my place to chat ME: well, i'm not lagging, and i like it here, and the beauty of IM's mean we can be anywhere on the grid and still talk. Isn't that magic? HIM: but I like to look into your eyes when we chat ME: that's a shame, I just detached mine 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it’s more a “getting to know you” for someone I have known for a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Keep going until you hit the place where they're thinking of building that drive-in bank, you can't miss it." I'll know this must be the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
