1. Surprise Attack
Suitable for both men and women. One afternoon, Ms. Lin was strolling alone on a pedestrian street. Suddenly, a man approached her and politely asked, "Miss, what time is it?" Ms. Lin apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a watch or a phone, so I don't know the time." At this moment, the man held out his wristwatch and said, "I know it's 3:50 PM Beijing time. There's a movie showing at the cinema over there that starts at 4 PM. May I invite you to go see it?"
Friendly reminder: This method is suitable for both men and women, but only for those with a sense of humor.
2. Direct Attack Method
Suitable for both men and women. Zhao Zhao and several friends came out of the coffee shop, and the man who had been watching her there followed them. Zhao Zhao chuckled inwardly, wondering what the point of such childish stalking was. The man quickened his pace to catch up, and after a few steps, he stood in front of her, spread his arms to block her way, looked directly at Zhao Zhao, and said very earnestly, "Hello! My name is **, I'm a third-year student majoring in ** at C University, and I really hope to get to know you and be friends with you." Her friends chuckled good-naturedly, and Zhao Zhao smiled too, saying to him, "Being ordinary friends is fine, hello, my name is Zhao Zhao."
Friendly reminder: Sincerity is the biggest secret to successfully striking up a conversation, especially when the other person is at a loss for words.
3. Utilizing Idle Time
Suitable for both men and women. Xiao Wang was on a business trip to Beijing when his flight was delayed, leaving him stranded at the airport. Just as he was getting bored, someone tapped him on the shoulder. Turning around, he saw a beautiful woman who asked, "Are you also on flight **? Was it really delayed?" It turned out the woman was also traveling alone. Xiao Wang suggested they go to the airport coffee shop for a drink, and she readily agreed.
Friendly reminder: Use the time while waiting for your flight to go on a date. The environment and atmosphere are nice, and there's a touch of loneliness from traveling, so the chances of successfully striking up a conversation are higher. The same applies to trains and ships.
4. Vest writing method
Applicable type: Male. Xiao Si often takes the same bus, and the girl he sees frequently finally gets a chance to strike up a conversation with him one day. She sits behind him, and Xiao Si has a feeling something's going to happen. Sure enough, he suddenly feels a tingling sensation on his back. He doesn't turn around, but he knows what she's doing. When they reach their stop, Xiao Si gets off the bus as usual. His white T-shirt has the words: "I see you every day, can we be friends? My phone number: 139..." written on it.
Friendly reminder: Not every man is so considerate as to let you write on his vest. He might just jump up and yell, "Oh my god! My CK!" As for women who love their clothes more than anything, this method is absolutely not recommended!
5. The Palm-Writing Method
Suitable for: Men and generous women. A specific example can be found in Sanmao's "The Rainy Season Will Never Come Again," where she finds the boy she has long admired on the playground, and without saying a word, takes his hand and writes her name and home phone number in his palm. A silent yet profound romance unfolds in the hearts of the two young people.
Friendly reminder: When you rush up and grab their hand, you might need to offer a brief explanation, such as, "I'm not a bad person!" Otherwise, you might be mistaken for a robber. After all, not everyone can appreciate the power of silence.
6. The method of finding a true friend
Suitable for: Both men and women, Mid-Autumn Festival, school power outage. Momo and Mosquito, two girls, wander around campus, nowhere to go and no one to be with. Just as they're feeling down, they suddenly see two boys carrying guitars passing by. After discussing it with Mosquito, Momo boldly walks up to them and asks, "Can we listen to you play a tune?" Perhaps the hazy moonlight, the annoying power outage, and the girls' pleading move them, and they readily agree to their invitation.
Friendly reminder: Everyone likes to showcase their strengths, especially those with special talents, and this reason sounds very appealing.
7. The Rogue's Way of Getting Free Food
Suitable for: Men and kind-hearted women. This is a devilish pickup line taught by Zhenzhen. At lunchtime, she went to her usual casual restaurant, carrying a rice spoon, and walked straight to the man she found very attractive. She said to him, who looked bewildered, "Your food looks delicious, may I have some?" He blushed and stammered, "Please, please." His friends' laughter reminded him, and he quickly added, "How about I order an extra portion for you?"
Friendly reminder: This is known as the devil's pickup line.
8. The method of humbly seeking advice
Suitable for both men and women. Heda spotted a girl in a red swimsuit at the swimming pool who swam beautifully in the breaststroke. He swam over to her and asked, "Hi, you swim the breaststroke very well, could you give me some pointers?" The girl looked at him suspiciously, so he immediately said, "I can swim the butterfly stroke, how about we switch?" The girl smiled.
Friendly reminder: Be genuinely humble, and hide your ulterior motives. Rejection is possible, but at least it won't leave you feeling awkward.
9. The Heartfelt Praise Method – Suitable for both men and women, especially women.
Dong Su caught up with the girl coming out of the mall: "Excuse me, how do I get to Renmin South Road?" After the girl gave him directions, he took a deep breath and said, "Oh my god, can you tell me what perfume you're wearing?" She immediately looked at him warily. He explained, "I've been looking for this perfume for ages. Did you buy it at this mall? What brand is it? How much did it cost?" A series of questions only about the perfume made the girl lower her guard. She kindly told him the answers and even took him to the counter. He bought the perfume, of course, but he gave it to her as a gift.
Friendly reminder: Only ask what you really want to know, and don't let the other person feel like you have ulterior motives. Flattery never fails; everyone likes their taste to be appreciated. Moreover, people are inherently kind; when they tell you the answer, they'll have time to assess you and decide if it's worth leaving your phone number.
10. The Theater Matchmaking Method
Suitable for: Women. At the theater entrance, Haiyang held two tickets to the most popular show, but his friend, who was supposed to come with him, canceled at the last minute. He wanted to see the show but felt it would be boring to go alone, and he didn't want to sell them to a scalper. Just then, a pair of girls nearby were inquiring about ticket prices from a scalper, and were about to give up after being discouraged by the high prices. Haiyang walked over to one of the girls and said, "Can I treat you and your friend to a show?" He gave the tickets to both girls, with only one request: that the girl he spoke to treat him to tea sometime in the future. His selfless act immediately touched the girl, and she proactively arranged a time and place to meet him.
Haiyang left happily. He thought it was a good deal to have an unknown romance in exchange for a play that he could have watched or not.
Friendly reminder: This kind of selflessness for the greater good is very admirable, but girls tend to stick together, so don't make the bad suggestion of inviting only one person to watch, otherwise the success rate will immediately drop to 0.
11. Using mobile phones to express affection
Suitable for both men and women. Dandan met him at the light rail station and fell in love at first sight. After boarding the train, she kept thinking about how to strike up a conversation without being misunderstood as a sly old man. As the train was about to arrive at the station, she had a sudden inspiration and walked up to him, saying, "Can I borrow your phone for a moment?"
Perhaps because she seemed genuinely in a hurry (not to make a call, of course), he immediately handed her his phone. After Dandan dialed a few numbers, her phone rang. Seeing his puzzled expression, she smiled and said, "My number is in your phone. Can we keep in touch?"
Friendly reminder: Although phone robberies are frequent, most people are kind. Unless you look particularly "criminal," you can usually borrow someone's phone. This method is both subtle and effective, and worth a try!
