Hey guys! Welcome Back to Another DIY!
Today I'm going to tell you guys how to make the perfect pickup line!
I know what you are thinking, just take the ones you already know and execute them like normal.
I used to be sad and uncreative just like you lot, but that's okay! Just follow my easy instructions and you will be getting numbers on business cards by the end of this!
1. What is the person's unique quality?
What I mean by this is you need to find an outstanding feature and make sure you implement that feature. This doesn't have to be a physical trait, but it can also be a personality trait!
For instance, if you know the person you are courting is a Disney fan, you can use the old "Be the Beauty to my Beast" style of pickup lines. Sports fan? "So which way do you swing?".
Limitless possibilities.
2. Always make the pickup line a question or a statement..
You need a response or else it's game over. Mainly stick to the question lines because the statement lines are harder to execute. You need that confidence in order to use them, so hold on tiger. An example of a statement line would be "We're like Little Caesars, Hot and Ready".
Again, do not try statement lines unless you are confident enough.
3.C&C
Creativity and Confidence is key. If you don't have at least one of the two you will fail I promise you that.
And that is how you create the perfect pickup line! Follow these three steps and I can guarantee you will have a date by the end of the week.
Until next time, Azul out!
I found myself searching how to do a pickup line, and surprise surprise Lance has already made a post on this. It's been two hours since Lance has sent me that message, and I have been dying in my room about it. Did I have homework? I have no idea since I was focused on Lance the entire day.
I pretty much screamed when my phone died when I was on the bus earlier today. I had no Hunk nor Lance to entertain me, and I had to reduce myself to staring off into space while hating myself. I pretty much hinted at Lance that I was interested in seeing his face, which is enough of a reason to hate myself. Like what if he actually sends one? Or worse.
What if he is hot?
And he was in fact extremely hot. When I got home and plugged my phone in I received Lance's picture which included flower crowns and a cow. I melted.
His eyes glowed such a bright blue and he has flawless skin. Seriously, who has that perfect of skin? I did what I usually did when I panicked and called Hunk to help me, but he didn't answer.
So, I found myself running across the street with both my charger and phone.
Hunk was still a little sick from this morning, but he was nice enough to help me anyways. He pretty much told me how to respond from there on out. I told Hunk what I wanted to say, and he put my mess of words into a sentence. Now usually I'm amazing at that, but apparently not when it comes to talking to people.
He also showed me how to do a proper 'selfie'. We went into his backyard and after five photos we got a pretty decent one. I was completely against the dog filter, but Hunk insisted that if I didn't do the dog filter that I wouldn't be receiving his help for the rest of the night.
What really finished me off though? The fact that Lance insinuated that he was flirting with me.
Hunk eventually had to kick me out after having dinner at his place, and I've been searching the internet for an answer back to Lance, and now that I have Lance's guide to pick up lines I can finally respond.
Red_Red_Red to León72Azul: Well, if that's the case... Are you an ocean? Because your eyes are as deep as my interest in you.
I think that's how you do pick up lines? Either way, I am increasingly close to punching the wall for how much I'm embarrassed. This is incredibly unlike me and I don't think I can sleep. I really need Hunk, but he has already done so much for me today... So I guess it's time for me to tell Shiro everything.
It's a little past 10:00, and it's pitch black outside aside from the street lamps. By now both of my parents should be in bed along with Shiro. Most likely he is still up since he has a horrendous sleeping schedule.
My door creaks as I open my door slightly, and I tip toe over to the room that is next to me. My parents room is across from Shiro's, so I lightly knock on Shiro's door.
"Come in."
Shiro's door doesn't creak luckily, so I slide in fast and shut the door behind me quietly. Shiro is sitting on his bed surrounded with papers and binders. He must have been doing college homework.
"Hey Keith. What do you need?"
"I ah... Have to rant to you because I'm freaking out and can't sleep this out of me."
Shiro runs a hand through his black hair, and starts to clean up his bed. Cleaning up meaning he pushed all the stuff onto one side of the bed just so I could sit down. I sit down on the foot of his bed, making sure I don't sit on any of his college work. Shiro stares me down, making me feel like I'm about to tell him I'm breaking up with him.
"Okay so... I may or may not have a crush on someone?"
I feel a hand on my back, and I face Shiro to find his face... excited?"
"I need a picture NOW Keith."
"Um...why?"
Shiro shifts himself on the bed, and he grabs two pillows. He shoves one on my lap, and he hugs the other one.
"We are going to have a boys night where we talk about cute boys and other problems we are facing. Now, I need a picture and a back story right now or else we are starting the pillow fight."
The pillow fight sounds tempting, but I actually want to talk about Lance to Shiro. I pull up the selfie of Lance that I saved from earlier and I gave my phone to Shiro.
"Wowie. At least you don't have a bad taste in men. I think that cow is smiling?"
"Thanks I guess? His name is Lance. He lives in Wisconsin and he has four siblings and they all live on a farm. He is on the swim team, and he wants to do actual rocket science! Like create legit things for space! That's so cool isn't it? Also, I met him through Tumblr."
"Woah slow down there Keith. It sounds like you really do have a crush on him! Also, follow me on Tumblr."
"Wait, you have a Tumblr?"
"Have I been living under a rock? No shit I have a Tumblr Keith. I'm a sad college student who suffers everyday of their life. It's like required of me to have a Tumblr."
Shiro inputs his username which is 'dadboi01' and I follow him. From just the first couple of posts, his blog has no structure and it's filled with memes. Shiro also forces me to give him Lance's Tumblr, and he starts hugging the pillow closer every time I tell him a new detail. I start from when Hunk introduced me to Tumblr, to the conspiracy post, to every single text we have sent each other. I of course, finish with the shitty pick up line.
"You, Keith Shirogane, have sent some one a pick up line?"
"Shut up! What else was I supposed to do?
"Marry him."
"SHIRO."
We freeze when we hear light knocking on the door. Our mom pops her head in, and from what she looks like she hasn't gone to bed yet.
"You guys doing alright?"
Shiro was nice enough to speak first, since I'm terrified that she overheard Shiro telling me to marry someone.
"Oh, we were just having a bonding moment. I'll make sure Keith gets to bed before midnight."
Our mom gives us 'the mom look' before leaving with a sigh. I finally breathed in and relaxed a bit. Shiro takes the pillow I was holding along with his own and sets them in their respected spots.
"You know Keith, I think he likes you back."
"What?"
Shiro is still trying to clean the bed a bit, but he continues speaking anyways.
"From the chat logs you have shown me I believe that he also has a crush on you. You should give him a chance and try asking him out. Though the long distance will be hard, I think you guys will persevere the challenges. I'm proud of you."
Shiro seals his words with a side hug. I hug him back, but with an actual hug. Maybe it's best if I go to bed now with this fuzzy feeling in my head. I leave without anymore word exchanges, and once my head hit the pillow, I was out.
The funny thing about sleep is that it feels like you were laying down for a second, and then suddenly you wake up to your alarm seven hours later. I wish I could sleep for a year so then it feels like seven hours. Maybe.
Instead of waking up early like I did yesterday, I woke to my 6:00 alarm like I'm supposed to. The first thing I noticed instead of my alarm was that I was starving. That was an exaggeration, but still I need food right now. I can't cheat on my usual schedule, so I'll have to take a quick shower and then quickly run downstairs for something.
I did in fact take a really fast shower. Five minutes to be exact. I didn't completely dry myself off, so when I was putting on clothes I had certain wet spots in random areas. It will dry before I get to Hunk's. I grab my essentials like my wallet, keys, phone, and backpack and rush down the stairs to find something I can shove in my mouth quick.
My mom should have left by now, and Shiro and dad are probably still sleeping, so I make myself descend the stairs a little slower. The kitchen was quiet yet quaint. Almost like the kitchen itself is trying to wake up. I found myself in the mood for oatmeal, therefore I grab a bag of it and start to eat the dry oatmeal from the pouch. I also was in the mood for another cheese stick and apple, so I grab those things from the fridge as well. I'm not in the mood for making a lunch, so I grab a pizza Lunchable and some chips and threw those in my lunch bag. It's 6:17 and I don't have to be at Hunk's until 6:35, so I should-
Oh no.
I completely forgot.
I messaged Lance that shitty pick up line and now I want to die.
I turn my phone back on, and sure enough Lance did respond. I sit down in the living room and breathe before I opened what he said... He responded at two in the morning?
León72Azul to Red_Red_Red: I am so fucking tired right now but I'm going to go ahead and say it before I lose my confidence. That pickup line was the most beautiful thing I have ever read and I can't help but to find you cute in every way. I know we've only known each other for like 48 hours or some shit but man you are so perfect and handsome and funny I want to die. So like can I please somehow take you on a date because holy guac you are such an amazing person. I'm sorry if this sounds so weird but I just really want to get to know you more and ugh I'm just gonna shut up and go back to sleep. Sorry again.
My mind goes blank. My body goes limp. My heart races. My skin heats up.
Shiro was right.
Lance liked me back... WAIT LANCE LIKES ME BACK WHAT DO I DO?
The thought that my family was still sleeping was irrelevant when I ran up the stairs and almost busted Shiro's door open. He was sleeping, and all of his homework was still on the bed strewn everywhere.
"SHIRO WAKE UP AND HELP ME."
"Hmmm... Five more minutes."
He turns in his bed, making a textbook fall to the ground.
"Please? I don't know what to do, I'm freaking out, and you have an older brother requirement to fulfill!"
I kept shaking him as I spouted guilt tripping things to him, and it worked because he sat up. Granted he was groggy, but that will do.
"M'kay... what's going on?"
"Look at THIS."
I show Shiro my phone with the long Lance message. It took him longer to read since he is extremely out of it, but he chuckles and hands back my phone.
"Told you so. Just send back what you feel Keith. You're good at that when it comes to writing."
Shiro lays back down, but in the process he pushes everything off the bed making a huge avalanche of education.
"Now, let me have ten more minutes before I have to get ready."
Some brother I have. He will regret this later.
Sorry Hunk, but I need you.
I'm thirteen minutes early, which kinda violates some code of honor out there I'm sure. I don't knock and I waltz into the Garrett household, and I try to calmly place myself on the couch, but I can't help my bouncing leg or my endless finger tapping.
Hunk comes down the stairs three minutes later. I can tell he was off when he seen me, but he came back from that and sat down next to me.
"So you're early. I'm guessing that your nerves are fried and that this has 110% have something to do with Lance."
I nod furiously. As Hunk is packing his lunch, I rant to him about everything Lance said in his late night response. In between me ranting he gives signals that he is still listening. This goes on for five minutes, when I stopped talking.
"You done Keith?"
"Yeah, for now at least."
"Okay, let's walk and talk."
Hunk locks the door before we start walking to the bus stop. It's silent between us, until we rounded the corner out of our neighborhood.
"Now Keith, if I give you advice right now I want you to follow it. No arguing me on this one, okay?"
Hunk asking for no arguing is a given, but the way he said this sounds serious. I know whatever he has to say is important, so I nod. Hunk doesn't look at me, but instead stares up into the slightly cloudy sky.
"I believe that you don't need my help on this. Out of everyone in the entire school you are the best person when it comes to writing. I know you are scared for what could happen with Lance, but you should see Lance more as a new adventure. I say take whatever risks you're willing to take and respond with how you feel."
I was going to refute, but from what Hunk said before I was prohibited.
"Okay. Thanks Hunk."
He does a slight nod in my direction, and it's silence the rest of the way to the bus stop. We stand there waiting for the 6:50 bus, and I made the executive decision to write down everything on my mind. This time is different though. This time I will write it all to Lance.
Red_Red_Red to León72Azul: Honestly I'm confused as to why anyone would like me. I'm extremely introverted and I tend to make people cringe. I am really scared, but I think it's safe to say that I like you too. I'm not familiar with that whole 'dating' thing, but I like the idea of trying. I like your optimistic attitude and how you always text me with smiles and exclamation points at the end of things that aren't that exciting. The fact that you always respond back no matter what stupid things I write, and that you got a cow to smile into a camera. You are a Disney Prince I swear. How about we Skype or something? Not really much for us to do long distance except Skype, but maybe we can make it work?
I sent that without asking for Hunk to check it. I think from now on I'm going to 'follow my heart' as people have been telling me. The bus pulls up to us, so we hop aboard the death contraption Hunk's mom always says. Our seats were taken today, so we sit right behind our usual. Hunk starts up a conversation about if he missed anything at school, in which I reply that he missed tater tot day. This continues on for a while. Just Hunk and I talking about the miscellaneous. Hunk was showing me his new Lapras when my phone vibrated in my pocket. I wanted to vomit, to disappear and ignore my phone's silent cry to be picked up.
My phone was now in my hand, and I already forget how it ended up there in the first place. Hunk nudges me with his shoulder, giving me a warm smile before he looks back at his own phone. I open my phone to see Lance's response.
León72Azul to Red_Red_Red: Are you trying to kill me Keith? Like wowie I had to stop and cry to my friend Pidge because damn I wasn't expecting you to agree? You say you have no idea why I would like you, but dang is all I can say? You have made me, Lance, speechless. I AM NOT KNOWN TO BE SPEECHLESS MISTER. So you are pretty amazing if you ask me. If you aren't doing anything tonight we could have dinner over Skype ;)) Then like after that we can determine if we want to keep this going? Though I gotta warn you I am a messy eater, so sorry in advance if I have pizza sauce all over me.
Hunk noticed me being a hot mess, so he presses his water bottle against my face to help me cool down. Hunk was nice enough to not ask questions.
Red_Red_Red to León72Azul: So pizza dinner and Skype? I guess it's a date... :)
