Anybody know unique ways to charm girls?
Edited on Sat Mar-06-04 09:48 PM by rockymountaindem
I'm thinking of asking this girl out but I don't think she's the type for flowers etc. Anybody know any alternative ways to charm girls?

On edit, it's a girl I've alreay known for a while.

1. Usually, I just go away
... and that charms their socks off!

2. That's been my tactic in the past.
I'm considering taking a more pro-active approach, however.

3. This is my advice, so don't listen
No asking her out. Ask her instead for her advice, or some other reason to see her. No gifts. No overt lines. Girls have the power. If she likes you, she'll let you know.

4. Just ask
Edited on Sat Mar-06-04 09:40 PM by RC
Hi, my name is xxx and I was wondering if you would like to go out for coffee or a coke....
Keep it simple at first. Find something in common for starts.

On edit, #3 works also.

7. NO FLOWERS!!!!
It's a cliche. Girls want someone who can experience the private moments with them, not the social cliche of sending them flowers, at which they're supposed to be "impressed". Don't "impress" her, IMPRESS her.

Just ask her out. Tell her you think she is a real person, so you wanted to avoid the cliches and just tell her how you feel about her. She'll just die, guaranteed!

8. Of course
That's conditioned on her having any interest in you. But don't fear.

11. if you can get her in a lunch setting...try this.
Edited on Sat Mar-06-04 09:50 PM by LastKnight
get down on one knee and slip an onion ring on her finger, ask her to marry you, it worked for a friend of mine, they started going out that weekend. i havent personally had the guts to try it.

if she has a sense of humor, it will get a laugh, and start things off pretty good. if not, i dont think it would be worth being involved with someone who dosent have a sense of humor.

17. Well in that case
You will need a reason why you have not ask her out before. Then just ask. If you already know each other, you have a base of knowledge already built. Makes it easier.

25. A kiss on the hand
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you at the automat

Men grow cold as girls grow old
We all lose our charm in the end
But square cut or pear shape
These rocks don't lose their shape

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hardboiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice, but get that ice or else no dice

He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those spouses
And diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock again

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

26. She is either interested or she isn't.
If you know her, then you should know the answer by now. Girls who are not interested may go out with you anyway, but don't waste your time.

I usually go for the bold approach --- just ask, but make it easy for her to say no. Flowers never hurt (on the date not before), wit and humor can defuse most situations and a little poetry can show her a new side of you. Save the compliments until they won't be seen as clumsy.

Use your best judgement and don't let desire cloud your mind.

I am reminded of a joke that I heard on late night TV. Comedian: "I have a line that always works with women, no matter what... 'Get in the car, bitch, I got a gun'."

Sorry, ladies.

Don't make a big deal out of it. Take the long view --- in a hundred years we'll all be dead.

28. Be casual.
Just ask her some place casual and nonthreatening. Discreetly look for signs of affection and then compliment her and participate in things that both of you like. That way, you can explore your feelings about each other without ruining the friendship that you already have.

Or, you could try the method that worked pretty well in the third grade. Slip her a note.

30. Talk to her about how much you love your grandmother
If your grandmother has passed away, tell her how much you cried when she did.

I know this is silly, but I love to hear a guy's sensitive side. It's gotta be sincere, though! A tone of quiet reverence is needed. If she admires something tasteful that you own, tell her it was your grandmother's (excluding obvious exceptions that just wouldn't work!)

How do you know her? Give us a little background info.

P.S. Some of the posts on this thread (not the intentionally humorous ones) just have me shaking my head. I don't want to single them out, but... man!

34. well, I did charm a fine young woman at work the other day . . .
Edited on Sat Mar-06-04 10:54 PM by Bertha Venation
Since you know the woman you wish to charm, this might work for you.

I told this woman at work, "Nice shirt. Of course, it would look better on my bedroom floor."

Well, it wasn't the line that charmed her... it was my blushing.

I'm a hopeless flirt.

I think only a gay man could get away with that with a straight woman.

Edited on Sun Mar-07-04 08:46 AM by Bertha Venation
I'm a lesbian and I said it to a lesbian who is a good friend and with whom I flirt harmlessly and often.

But I could've said it to any number of straight women at work, too. I have actually found that very few straight people are so uptight that they can't flirt with a gay friend.

41. Oh she's nice and liberal.
But she's kinda timid. Besides, if we went to a pro-life protest in Colorado Springs we might end up dead. The morgue is not a good place to end a romantic evening.

38. Be an ass
That will give you the "charming" quality of being "dangerous". Dismiss her coldly whenever she comes to you, this will make you "dark and mysterious".

43. Rohypnol
Actually, believe it or not there is no way to "charm girls" - Every girl has her weak spots and every girl has her peeves. They are totally different from one to another.

The best looking guy in the world, although he starts out with an advantage, can easily ruin his chances with a girl just by doing or saying something that turns the girl off.

In my experience, the most important thing to do is to make them feel totally comfortable with you. Nobody wants to be stuck with somebody that they just don't feel like being around. Once the girl is clearly comfortable then you can start teasing and flirting.

Don't flirt too hard, and make sure you do not show your hand. You must keep her guessing for a bit. Don't smother her with attention, just treat her like a 'partner in crime' etc etc..

It works.

46. rule #1. Don't talk about yourself
Girls want to talk about their favorite subject: them.

They want someone to listen.

Listen. Keep filling her wine glass. See what happens.

48. Here are some tips
Although I have the worst taste in men, I love matchmaking. Here are a couple things that are charming--- but not creepy...

If you want to try flowers, don't buy roses. Roses are way overdone. Wildflowers in an unusual color, purples or oranges, are better.

Ask her out for brunch or to get ice cream. Much lower key than dinner.

If she has a pet, buy treats or a pet toy. I can't resist someone going out of their way for my cat.

What does she like? Thoughtful is better than expensive. I once had a boyfriend tape all 8 hrs. of Eco-Challenge for me when I didn't have cable. Another picked up a CD of disco hits which I love, but would never buy for myself.

(Or, if you just want to get her drunk, try a martini sampler night with appletinis, cosmos, and watermelontinis. She'll be more drunk than with a bottle a wine and you'll seem more fun.)

52. If you know her well already,
Buy her a small gift that she would like and take her to dinner, movie, or some event that you would both enjoy and pay for it. You didn't say if you already hang out together, but even if you already do, this might be a good time to make some comment like "I really enjoy hanging out with you and I would really like to take this to the next level."
