Last week, in my column, I listed out an interesting set of pick-up lines to woo women. But it's equally essential to judiciously arrange your words because a miss or two can twist the statement and all potential endeavours can just go down the drain with one stroke. Stay away from cheesy and repulsive one-liners that can put off women. Sweet originals give the desired fillip than the ancient man's 'Have I seen you before?'

Here are some classic examples of hackneyed and disgusting clichés:



*

Can I buy you a drink or do you just want the money?


*

Never dish out a silly one when she's walking her dog. "Does your dog want my dog's phone number?


*

Screw me if I'm wrong, but is your name Dolly?


*

Saif Ali Khan couldn't fly sparks when he introduced himself to the girl in

Hum Tum

as "Bond. James Bond."


*

Hi, I make more money than you can spend.


*

"I've got the F, the C, and the K. Now all I need is U." Here you might be just slapped or abused if she's no-nonsense type. She may even smile slyly. The reaction here will vary from individual to individual.


*

Never attempt something like, "Haven't I seen you someplace before?" She will revert back with a smarter one, "Yes, that's why I don't go there anymore"!


*

"Oh! I just noticed you are a girl".


*

Your parents must be retarded because you are special.


*

Your place or mine? (This can prove fatal for any budding relationship)


*

You are smelling nice! Guys for the umpteenth time - women associate word 'smell' with bad odour.


*

Would you be my future ex-wife?


*

Call your mom and tell her you won't be home tonight.


*

I feel like Richard Gere because I'm standing next to the Pretty Woman. Now if you are not even an iota of this hottie's charisma, stay away from this one.


*

Repercussions can be strong if you come up with: I'm a lesbian in a man's body!



So there all you men, chuck those corny one-liners and make that impact because it's only words and words are all you have to take her heart away...
