Need help with this rocket scienc...err...I mean, breaking the ice with this girl

I haven’t, but a coworker explained it to me. I think I’ll slink off in embarrassment now. :o

I agree with the ‘why worry about something with nothing yet invested’ camp.
Now, as a girl, my problem with ‘pick up lines’ is that as the very first communication ever between the fella and me, it communicates that although he knows very very little about me, he’s ‘interested’, presumably based on my looks or just that I’m any female alive. He knows nothing about me. Why don’t you instead consider it as trying to meet a human, like you would any other human, and get to know her a little and THEN decide if you’re interested or not? In which case, carry on like she’s, you know, a person and not something you think you’d like to hump? Starting a conversation without the stress of whether she wants to date you (generally after a relationship of 5 seconds consisting of a pick-up line the answer will be ‘no’). Act like you’d be interested in her as a person even IF you didn’t want to fuck her. Give her a chance to decide whether she likes you as a person before you start projecting questions of whether she finds you atractive. Sheesh! Boys! Just break the ice by treating her like a normal person! Do you choose your male friends based on appearance from across the room? How can you be so nervous about someone you’ve never even met?

Even so, using this line has the very real risk of getting the same reaction. Plus, in all likelihood even if the girl knows the line, you’ll just be that guy who quotes from movies and has nothing of his own to say. Also, how funny is this outside of the context of the movie? Like Scumpup said, keep things light. The goal here is interaction. You want to get her talking at this point, nothing else.

The fact that she sits next to you when all the other seats are available is a good sign. You have a chance.

If you want my serious opinion, I think it is best to really evaluate your motivation. If you go about this kind of thing with the goal and motivation of "I hope she likes me, doesn’t think I’m creepy, is willing to go out with me, doesn’t stand me up and I don’t look stupid’ you are going to have a really shitty time. Chances are the majority of women will do or fail to do at least one of those things. If you go at it with the mindset of "I want to do this to improve my social skills so I can use them throughout my life to get ahead, meet new people, find people whose personalities are similiar to mine, learn to communicate better’ it will be easier. I’m probably one to talk as I’ve had my own issues in the past but people are pretty demanding and neurotic about dating and things like that. If you approach with the mindset of ‘if I jump through 5 hoops properly so she likes me, doesn’t reject me & doesn’t think ill of me I can be happy’ you won’t ever be happy. If you are driving through the country with the goal of finding a house by 6pm and it is 5:50 you will be angry and frustrated. If you are driving through the country with the goal of seeing the scenery and getting away from the city you’ll enjoy the experience alot.

Point being, try to make sure you do things like this like approach women to improve your social skills, meet new people and open opportunities. If you do that with that as your motivation you’ll ‘succeed’ much more often and you’ll have more fun.
