Question Posted Saturday November 19 2005, 11:45 am
I'm a 16 year old girl.
Ok. So I like my eyes and all but when guys try to get me to go out with them just by telling me that they like my eyes it totally turns me off even if the guy is really hott or nice. Here is an example of what most guys say: "Your eyes have taken over my soul."
The whole "your eyes see into my soul" thing is getting very old. My question is, can't guys come up with some original pick up lines?
jofess answered Sunday November 20 2005, 10:26 pm: haha they never will. Boys are fundamentally stupid and originality is not their strong point. You just need to laugh at them when they say something like that.. people actually use lines like 'so come here often' and if you dont laugh in their faces they will never learn. It is also fun to think of the cheesiest pick up line you can, the biggest cliche one you can think of and reply to their cheesy soul lines with it. for example if they say anything about your eyes say back... was your dad a thief? he stole the stars from heaven and put them in your eyes.. or did it hurt? when you fell from heaven did it hurt? then they are forced to realise that you are aware that they are using a line on you and may make them develop some originality.

If they sound completely cheesy, and it's obvious that they are just hitting on you, then it is fine to roll your eyes at them. But if it is in anyway sincere sounding, then you can't hold it against them. They are trying to let you know there is something attractive about you and that doesn't happen all the time (well, at least if you are me) Women like to be complimented in a sincere and original way, guys compliment on what they know. That would be how you look. I bet you would have a WTF moment if guys compeletly stopped complimenting you on your eyes.
Edit----
"Actually I have had a compliment on my eyes in about two months and I find it rather refreshing."
That does not make sense. Your entire question was based on the fact that you did not like the redundancy in the first place. Unless you meant to type a n't at the end of your have. So I will respond to you as if you had...because that would make your sentence actually make sense.
So you haven't gotten a compliment on your eyes in a two months, I am taking this from what you have said. Then why ask a question that implies that his happens to you all of the time? You wanted to know why guys are unoriginal and I gave you a reason. Then, because you implied that this is a constant occurance, I tried to point out to you that if it stopped completely, alltogether, you might find yourself wondering why.
You then snidely mentioned that it hasn't happened in a while and you find it refreshing then rated me a 3. So don't ask a question about it if it is not relevant, to you, now. I rate you a 1 for your response. Beauty is fine, but you can still be ugly if you have a nasty attitude. [ Chicken_flavored_eggs's advice column | Ask Chicken_flavored_eggs A Question ]

It's not important to know if you're not interested in him, just take the compliment. It's very important to know if the guy likes you for other reasons if you think you may want to date him.
When a guy says something like that to you, you could really throw them off by saying "Don't you like anything else about me?". I think that that is exactly what you're feeling. Sometimes I wonder if the only reason people like me is because I'm a redhead. That seems to be what they focus on. It's hard having a defining trait because you can never be sure of the other reasons why people like you. In all liklihood these guys do like you for other reasons, they're just trying too hard. Trying too hard is sometimes good, so give them a chance by making them explain themselves. If you ask that question back, they may be caught off guard, but you may also get a good answer. I hope I helped and good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
Mercy_x_Me answered Saturday November 19 2005, 1:31 pm: You never know, some people are quite attracted to eyes because it's an endearing part of the human body. It really draws people in. But yes, in a lot of cases, it's simply seen as a pick-up line. To be honest, no, most guys cannot come up with original things because unlike girls they're not mushy-gushy. Honestly. The nature of guys is all about physical love where a girl likes to be emotionally loved. Any guy is perfectly good at saying "you have a nice ass" rather than "your beauty makes me tremble" or something like that. [ Mercy_x_Me's advice column | Ask Mercy_x_Me A Question ]
