You've mastered the right mix of eye contact and inviting smiles and can capture the attention of that cutie across the room. But when it comes to making those next few tentative steps towards a love connection, do you have the right moves?
Memorable Move #1: Create contact casually.
Go ahead and initiate contact a guy or gal who seems interested but isn't making a move. Most people - at least, the reasonably attractive and clearly sane ones - have been approached by enough strangers to know and accept that it's a pick-up, so trying to be suave now will only make you look stupid. Forget those tired, old pick-up lines and go for something original that will make him or her laugh.
Memorable Move #2: Craft your compliments.
Yes, compliments are a pick-up staple. But over-the-top gushing will make you look desperate and make him or her feel uncomfortable. Keep it simple, by, say, admiring his old-school Vans or her antique necklace, but don't sound like a suck-up by going on and on about it.
Memorable Move #3: Relax your expectations.
Don't assume that with that one sparkling sentence, you'll stumble across the magic words to convince a perfect stranger to fall in love with you, or, at the very least, follow you home for a night of hot nookie. Apart from that being (almost) entirely unrealistic, that sets you up for way too much pressure. Instead of looking at this one line as being a make-or-break move, remember it for what it really is - a way to kick off a casual chat.
Memorable Move #4: Keep 'em guessing.
Keep your interest subtle enough that he or she wonders where it's heading. It's that whole idea of always leave 'em wanting more. Before he or she starts scanning the room in indifference, excuse yourself to visit the bathroom, regroup with your friends or even flirt with a rival. Be a little bit of a challenge.
Memorable Move #5: Close the deal.
Obviously, just making a superficial connection isn't enough - you want to see this person again, right? You'd be surprised by how many guys (and girls) will chat up a potential honey all night only to leave without making plans to reconnect. Try a simple line like "I'd like to get to know you better, could I call you sometime?" It doesn't hurt if you can include something you talked about earlier, say, mentioning you'd like to invite him or her to a concert by a band you discussed.
