What exactly is the perfect chat up line I thought to ask my people? And this is actually directed to the ladies seeing that na una dey receive them pass. Us guys get a couple which I must admit are quite funny but the ladies get it more for a fact. But again the main aim of this post is to help redeem us men who have never ceased to come under fire from ladies, for all sorts of things written in heaven and on earth. Lol. I can't count how many times I've heard a guy say something to a lady as a conversation starter and and it ends out, she thought he was corny. Even on twitter, you can't say to a chic, "Hi, that's a lovely avatar you've got there" without some tatafo (tatafo full twitter sha. lol) going "That's cheesy". No be she you tweet o!!!!!
On Facebook, I was chatting to this chic when I said "You've got some really lovely eyes", next thing she had updated her twitter "Why do guys do this?? You've got really lovely eyes?" for a compliment???? We were at a club the other day, my friend and I, when he said to this chic he had gotten talking with "I like your teeth", and she turned and walked away to the astonishment of my man. lol. Now the idiot boy should have said "dentition", but with all that loud music, you couldn't blame the girl when she misheard his "teeth" for "tits". Anyway that's understandable.
But ladies una sef dey mezebu with chat up lines sha. I got into this club once (you people don't get me wrong o, I don't club much at all. lol) and made my way to where my people had been waiting for me. Got there, shook hands and went to the bar to get a drink. it was while scanning the room for familiar faces that I noticed this white chic staring at me and smiling. Well, na club we dey so I smiled back. that must have been the "greenlight" she was waiting for, cos she suddenly walked over to me and asked "how' you been?" I replied that I was good and herself? she answered then just from nowhere, delved into some gist about had she had just gotten out of hospital the previous day after an operation for some cancer she didn't know she had. Walahi, I have never seen this babe in my whole life!!!! I just concluded that it was either she mistook me for someone else, or that was one hell of a chat up line, or speech in this case!!
But seriously, It confuses me that every conversation starter a guy mutters to a chic is termed cheesy. I have said this before in my past posts, (even though most guys will not agree) It is not easy for a guy to just shuffle to a babe and say "Wassup" (see? even that sounded cheesy abi?) At least pity the guy's effort. I myself have been in situations where I see a very cute chic that I knew within my inner most depths, I would never be able to forgive myself if I didn't go over and say as much as a "hi". All I want is just to stand in her blessed presence and just hold conversation with her and just bask in the fact that this "thing" is actually talking back to me!!! But that's when I suddenly realise that there are weights chained to my feet. I can't see them but there's no denying they are definitely there. Weights that have "WHAT DO I SAY TO HER" inscribed on them. "I love your eyes" again perhaps?, "Where are you going?" perhaps? "Lovely weather?", "Those are some really nice shoes?" "WHAT DO I SAY TO HER THAT DOESN'T SOUND CHEESY????!!!" She doesn't know me. I'm a stranger to her so how do I get a stranger talking?
I've noticed certain gatherings have standard chat up lines that always work though.
1. After-church chatup line - "So is this your first time worshipping with us sister?"
2. House party chatup line - "So how do you know (insert celebrant's name) ?
But in spite of all this, is the plain old "Hi, I'm Nkem, What's your name?" guaranteed to work?
Because the opening line is definitely the hardest to get through, when that scales, (if it scales), you find that homey really relaxes and starts to talk sense/rubbish as the case may be. But the opening line is always the ice breaker. I can't lie sef, a couple of my opening lines have been met with silence. I'm talking silence so utter I actually started to think the babe was deaf. Babes are not smiling o! lol
So ladies (and guys that have been approached by ladies too) abeg help me with this, What would you call the perfect opening line. What should they say that would get you interested in getting into a conversation with that person even as you just finished a very weary 10 hour shift?
P.s. This does not mean I do not know how to chat to a chic o!!! lol
