Dating Tip For Guys: The Best Pick-Up Line

I am sure there has been a time when you have seen a beautiful woman, maybe it was at a club or maybe she was standing ahead of you in line at a grocery store. You wanted to approach her, but then thought, “What I am going to say to her? How should I approach her?” Or maybe you have read some books about the best pick-up lines or great approaches to picking up women and you have tried some with varying success. Well, in this post I am going to share what I think is the most underestimated and best pick-up line around. ☺

But first, let me explain something that I think will be to your benefit. Your ultimate goal is to get this lady to agree on a date with you, right?

Realize that even the best pick-up line won’t help unless you prepare yourself before delivering it. If you are asking yourself: “Mikko, what in the world are you talking about?” let me explain.

The truth is that women often notice things about you way before you do or say anything. Women are often very intuitive and observant. They can often see how you treat or interact with others, or how you carry yourself. The truth is that way before you even approach her she has probably already developed a mental image of how trustworthy, purposeful, responsible, and confident you are. These all qualities you want to develop an cultivate to become irresistible to women ☺.

See, women usually develop their attraction to men first mentally. This is often done before you have even taken a single step toward approaching her. So, this being the case, it is important that you recognize how women perceive you and your qualities because it is these very qualities that will make you attractive to her.

For example, if you don’t stand up straight or carry yourself with confidence, no matter how good your pick-up line is, you may not get the date. ”What if I don’t have much confidence?” you might ask? Of course you weren’t born with all the qualities she is looking for, but these certainly are qualities that you can develop and cultivate.

Throughout my childhood I was very shy. I still remember the first date that I ever had. I was scared to death. I did not know what I was going to say or do. I remember just sitting with her in her room too scared to open my mouth because I was afraid to say the wrong thing ☺. Nobody had ever told me what you were supposed to do on a date and in Finland we did not see Hollywood movies showing how a guy takes a girl out to a movie and dinner. And even if we did, you had to be 18 to get a driver’s license, so it would not have worked. ☺

How did I go from being this shy kid to becoming a relationship expert? Well, part of it was that I simply learned more about relationships. And believe me, you don’t have to become someone you are not to portray being confident. Simply realizing that you have what it takes to sweep a woman off her feet will help you gain confidence. And to develop more of that confidence, start reading self-help books, attend personal growth seminars, and of course, keep reading my blog, and you will soon be well on your way to feeling really confident about yourself.

Because the truth is that the better you feel about yourself and the more purposeful, confident, and responsible you seem and become, the better the pick-up line that I am going to give you will work.

The mistake we men often make with women in dating and relationships is that we try to concentrate on learning specific techniques or formulas, and the truth is formulas often won’t work (especially in the bedroom, another blog I will save for later ☺). Concentrating on techniques or formulas works well with making money or developing computer software, but this won’t necessarily work as well with women.

Because see you will not win over a woman by using a specific technique, or you might. But in either case what makes you much more special and impresses a woman much more is when you are your authentic, purposeful, responsible, confident, loving self.

So before I reveal you my killer pick up line, let’s explore these qualities a little further just for a moment.

Why do women love a guy who is purposeful? Because when a woman sees that a man is purposeful, she sees that he is using his energy toward accomplishing a goal, (a career or business goal for example). She sees someone who is ambitious and wants more from life. When a woman feels that a man has a purpose, she can start to imagine how great it would feel when he directs some of this purposeful energy towards her. She suddenly starts to feel attracted to him as she sees the potential for receiving some of his purposeful energy. And while no woman ever wants to become the sole target for this energy and attention, imagining how good it might feel to receive some of it makes you very attractive to her.

In addition, when you seem responsible and able to take care of yourself, she can simply feel relaxed around you; she can start to trust you. She can be sure that no matter what happens, you can handle and take care of yourself. She can feel that she has an equal partner. Instead of worrying about you, she can just relax and receive what you have to offer. Whenever a woman feels that she does not have to worry about you and that she can focus on feeling cared for herself, she will begin to find you more and more irresistible.

Long before you have approached her or come forward with a pick-up line, she has already created a complete mental picture about you. Whether this perception is accurate or not, realize that it carries much more weight in determining whether or not your pick-up line will work. So, first ask yourself, do you seem like someone who is responsible, trustworthy, purposeful, authentic, and confident?

The way you think about yourself will determine how the woman thinks about you. The old truth that unless you believe in yourself it is hard for others to believe in you is simply true. So start by believing yourself first and cultivating some of the qualities that I described and the pick-up line that I will give you will carry tremendous power. So having said that here goes my secret. The best pick-up line is simply to introduce yourself and say: “Hi, my name is _______. What’s your name?” And after she tells you her name, you say: “Nice to meet you.” That’s it.

Just remember, by introducing yourself to her first, you will already appear more confident, purposeful, and responsible and you will be on your way to dating success. So, now that I have revealed my secret, come back and let us know if it worked for you. Share your questions or comments.

Wishing you good luck with my best pick-up line!

Hey, now that you have taken the time to read my article, please take a little more a make sure to leave me a comment below :) or take a look at some of my other articles here!

  • Hi Sheila,

    I would recommend the multiple dating method, especially if you have the tendency to get attached to a guy too soon. The benefit with multiple dating is that it is easier not to get too attached to one particular outcome and at the same time it is often easier to set boundaries for yourself when you learn not to take rejection so personally.

    For example, say a guy tells you that he wants to have sex with you after the second date, but you don't really feel ready. If this is the only guy you are seeing you might feel more attached to the idea of trying to make this particular relationship work and to give in to his suggestion of having sex when you really don't want to.

    By dating multiple guys at the same time, it often becomes easier for you to set boundaries and limits and not to sacrifice what you really want. This will develop your skill to stay open to what a guy has to offer to you without you getting needy or starting to expect more from a guy than he is able to offer.

    It this ability to appreciate for what you are already receiving from a man while continuing to communicate your needs and wants for even more that will ensure a good long-term relationship.

    As long as you are not in an exclusive relationship and you are honest and tell your dates that you are also seeing someone else you should be on the clear.

    Most guys should not have a problem with it, especially as long as you also communicate to them that you are really enjoying to get to know them. And if they do have problem with it that could be a sign of jealous or insecure man that you would not want anyway.

    To read a very entertaining article with full of wisdom that my good friend Lauren just recently wrote on how to detect those signs go to:

    And if your guy does have problem with you seeing two or three other guys at the same time, just go NEXT :).

    Good day Mikko,

    Which between the two dating methods: multiple dating or one-at-a-time dating would you recommend for people whose purpose is to seek long term relationship? Thanks again!
  • Thanks Sheila! Happy belated thanksgiving to you too and thanks for your great question.

    Your question really has many answers and many possible scenarios. It is very hard to define one common factor that prompts a man to "graduate" from multiple dating to finally focus on one girl.

    On a more broad philosophical level, it is one of those: when the student is ready, the teacher appears situations. In this case: when the guy is ready his women appears or vice-versa.

    In other words, as men mature they gradually learn more about themselves. As a young guy, he might be interested to date or see anyone he is physically attracted, but as he matures he gradually becomes more discern and able to recognize whether he is also feeling chemistry on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level with a particular woman.

    In an ideal situation, once a man has found someone that he would like to develop a more serious relationship with, he should simply tell the other girls that he has decided to start dating someone exclusively. And thus, tell them them that he won't be calling or seeing them anymore.

    All of this advice applies to women as well, of course.

    Hi Mikko,

    Thank you for providing an upfront response to my question. Let us just continue to hope and pray that more and more people would mature into responsible daters like what you are helping us to become.
  • sheila chan
    Belated happy thanksgiving Mikko!

    Related to men and dating: Would you share with us your ideas about what prompts a man to "graduate" from multiple dating and finally focus on exclusively dating one girl? Then how do men inform the other girls that he has already made a pick?

    Thank you so much in advance!
  • Hi UC,


    Thank you for your valuable and much appreciated female point of view on this article. You also bring up some great additional advice. I agree, it is important to close the deal by asking for a phone number or to try to set a date for a drink or coffee. Good point! Thanks again for sharing!

    "The way you think about yourself will determine how the woman thinks about you. "

    So true! It's all about confidence. You can be the poorest, shortest, baldest, toothless-est guy around, but if you approach a woman w sincerity and confidence she'll be more impressed (and respect you) than a tall millionaire who doesn't appear sure of himself or what he wants.

    Also, women sense insincerity instantly. And smile & make eye contact! I can't tell you how many times a guy has approached me and not smiled b/c he so nervous. He was so nervous it made me feel uncomfortable.

    You have to come off as if to say, "I'm Joe. I don't CARE what you think if me because this is how I am, AND I want to offer you...."

    If you act so nervous about what she'll think of you she'll interpret this as mixed signals and be unimpressed. Women want a man who's confident in his own skin.

    Also, once you approach her, if she response and you're chatting, don't forget to close the deal, say, "maybe we can get together sometime for a drink/coffee?" This is her turn to tell you yes or that she has a bf. If it's yes, then ask for her number. This is how relationships start and how the guy gets the girl.

    I've experienced guys approaching me, nice conversation only to walk away w/o asking for my number or showing interest in getting together. That told me he either decided he wasn't interested, is playing games or is a loser. Either way, when a woman receives mixed messages like this it doesn't go over well, you blew it.

    I also find that married guys are more willing to chat up women than single guys, perhaps becuase they feel more relaxed.
