Wear watch after asking the time.

[dElAvA]

Me and a fellow budding DJ were talking on aim and he told me that his personal favorite approach was to take his watch off and ask a girl for the time.

I intantly thought of a great twist, after she tells you the time pull out your watch put it back on and say something like
"so now that I've got you talking....."

It instantly tells the girl the only reason you came over to ask her the time was to talk to her instead of having some fake reason of starting a conversation with her.

What do we think?

That's not bad... kind of like the "got an extra cigarette?"/"Do you need a light?"/"No I don't smoke" thing.

So does "Hi. What's your name?"

I don't like the watch idea.

Its bold, its funny, I like it. Lol, along those lines:

You've got something on your shirt <she looks, and you hit her chin> OMG, I can't believe you fell for that!

Childish, but if done right drop dead funny and a great lead in to other antics of a playful/****y nature.

Another real simple one is "Hey, you look familiar (or do i know you from somewhere, etc).. what's your name?". Saying they look familiar I find makes a big difference compared to "Hey, what's your name?"

that familiarity sounds more to me than a typical pick up line, and some girls may notice that too. true, anything can work if done correctly, but i'm still more for the direct, "hey, what's your name?" approach.

Field test it some more and tell us what happens. I prefer the good old "what's your name?" approach, or just asking for the time. You can comment about the watch or something. If you take the bus or train or can't drive yet - you have more than an excuse to start a conversation especially since you're waiting. Maybe you can sit together too, and ask where she's going. If it's interesting enough, maybe she wouldn't mind a partner. Just make sure you don't come off as if you have nothing else to do though.

I'm skeptical. But I will field test it tomorrow.
