Having these lines up your sleeve will help you figure out how to talk to a girl but how do you pick the best one? We have a few steps to help you pick the lines.

It may be hard to figure out, but you stand a better chance of a pick up line working if you know a little about her. If you are at a party with mutual friends, ask what her hobbies and interestsare. If you are in a bar, take the best guess as to what her interests are. By having this information beforehand, you can pick the pick up line that might just work.
2. Read the Signs

Body language is important when figuring out how to talk to girls. When you approach her, look out for her body language. If she turns towards you, she is open to the conversation. However, if she turns her back or tries to ignore you, admit defeat. Sometimes these things just aren't meant to be. Make sure you don't keep trying it might get you into trouble.
3. Find the right level of confidence

Girls love a guy who is confident, but arrogance isn't a great look for everybody. When you are using a pick up line, have enough confidence so that you can approach her. Too much confidence can be intimidating and should be avoided at all costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Heaven knows the dating game can sometimes be complicated and hard. And while using this list can help with your approach, you may still have questions. Here, we've answered the most frequently asked:
How do you deliver a pickup line?
You should be confident and committed to what you say. Delivery is not about being cocky, but about breaking the ice to open up or set you up for a conversation with your female interest. Once you've broken through that tension of the first meeting, follow up by introducing yourself.
How to respond to a pickup line?
Always remember it has taken that person a lot of guts to come up to you. Appreciate the effort, and don't be rude. Engage with them. Of course, there is nothing wrong with politely telling someone you're not interested.
When is the right time to deliver a pick up line?
Look around you and consider where you are. Is it appropriate to pick someone up? Also, pay attention to the other person and their body language. Are they sitting away in the corner with a book and perhaps wearing earphones? If so, they may not want to be disturbed. Delivering a pick up line is fine to do any time, but use your common sense.
Do pick-up lines really work?
On a Psychology Today blog article, pick-up lines, like any dating strategy, are not fool-proof or guaranteed to work, but they can trigger love and positive emotions. So when asking, "Do pick-up lines work?" it's really a matter of how you can make them work for you.
