Chokkklit Shop - Pick-up lines

The art of the pick up line seems to be in play more often in the Summer time than any other time of the year, but Spring is a good time to get an early start. Maybe has something to do with the heat, maybe the increased opportunities as the season heats up and we all tend to do moreFling outdoor socializing. The trip to the beach, the picnic, cookout or concert; wherever there are men and women mingling you know it's game time. Call it game because women act like they don't want to be hollered at, but they put themselves in the direct line of attack; why? The verbal arsenal got them stuck like a deer in headlights!

You know as a woman that if you step out your door and go to an event, the fellas are going to try to spit game. Game, it really is a game; how do you win or loose at this ritual, right of passage of picking a mate. Women want the attention, the affirmation that they're attractive. Men are looking for the best possible mate, or at least some action; she may not be the right one, but she can be Miss Right-Now!

Game on!!

Chokkklit Shop - A fling or a long-term relationship?

FlingThere's something about spring and summer that makes everyone think that they should be coupled. Maybe it's the advertiser's images of vacation getaways, showing happy couples dancing, kissing and romping on the beach. Is it Mother Nature; those warm summer nights that let us know winter is over and we can come out of hibernation. You can't listen to the radio late nights without running into a Love Zone, Quite Storm, Midnight Whispers, Smooth Grooves or by any other name an ode to romance and couples. So, if you didn't have anyone to keep you warm before, then now's the time to find him or her. Whatever the reason, it just seems to be the thing to do, our nature.

If you hook-up with a guy on your vacation to the Bahamas, or Jamaica you can definitely rule that a summer fling. But if you met a guy at the company picnic or a friend's wedding reception and you hit it off, how do you know that there is long term potential? The best way to approach this is like any other relationship, let it build slowly. There is no way to microwave a relationship or else it will be ready, done, and over in microwave minute. Just because everything around you is pushing for a spring romance, doesn't mean you have to fast track the relationship before summer ends. Seasons will come and go, but if you want him around for while, take your time, enjoy the outdoor activities that spring and summer offers and move slowly toward the hot summer night, steamy sex scenes that you long for. If you dive right in, you have removed a very crucial step in building a relationship. You've forgotten to be friends first, before becoming his buss-it-baby.

6th Month Realization (NottHead - 09)

I never said I was ready for a relationshipShama3, Kal Cauthen - Cotton Mill shoot

I never said I was looking for a commitment

You know I care deeply,

I am emotionally involved

 

But remember

 

This thing of ours

Is more than casual

But it was always subject to change

 

But remember

Categories of Pick-up Lines

  • Straight to the point - illicit an immediate response
  • Innuendo - line that imply, rather than directly ask; try to be slick
  • Cheese - just stupid to get a react, then the secondary attack begins
  • Flattery - can be honest admiration, but anything positive to break the ice
  • Smooth - that practiced tried and true, you know he has been practicing in the mirror lines
Pick-up lines are as much of a create-in-the-moment process as they are remembering what worked in the past, so 40 sample lines have been listed below. This list could have easily been a novel, so if you have so good line, yours or something that you have heard, add it to the list.

Check the label on your relationship

Chokkklit Shop 07

Listening to my girlfriends and trying to help them see the light about their relationships. Women don't know how to read men, they say one thing but their actions make us believe there is more.

Labels that women are comfortable with: talking, dating, going together, boyfriend, he's my man. Labels that guys use to describe whatever they won't call a relationship: friends with benefits, cut friends, just talking, pimpin', and kickin it'. All of these labels make the other sex uncomfortable. She is making more out of it than what's there, and he is minimizing what's really going on.

So, I'm asking a question that's probably been around forever. "Why are men so vague?" Why can't we put a label on whatever it is that's going on between us? Cause if we did, it would still mean one thing to them and something else to us (women). A label creates expectations, whether articulated or not.

August 07 - Chokkklit Shop

The Chokkklit Shop Chokklitsoul has some personal challenges to take care of, so she will not be the author of this month's Chokkklit Shop column, but will be back with her engaging perspective on relationships and love next month. The NottHeads staff has collectively jumped in to keep the conversation edgy, not Chokkklitsoul but we try!!

loveThis month's column looks at how men and women use words to communicate different emotions or representations of the relationship status. When a man says "I'm not really looking for a relationship" should alarms go off in a woman head? Or is the woman thinking, I can change his mind about me and that relationship thing.
