1. Setting: a social event/ social places, you (a non-Francophone girl) is talking to a Francophone guy. You just met him, but having a nice conversation with him. (This kind of setting is very general, can happen all the time when you go out, kay?)
2. Try to say this “Btw, My french is not progressing at all… So unmotivated to learn, teach me some french words”
3. If he’s interested in you, Here comes the classic. They will say “Aah.. this is the important sentence you should know ‘Puis-je vous embrasser?’” —> THIS, basically means ‘may i kiss you’. I’ve met many people who say exactly the same thing and I’m sick of it. So, girls, this is the cheesiest pick up line ever.
4. How to response (some ideas, you can develop all u want ofcourse)
- If you are NOT interested: you can say “what does that mean?”, he will tell you and you can say, “really? THAT is the important sentence I need to know? Hahaha.. do people here say that to other people? Too straightforward for my culture.. (and you can ask more about french social cultures and the differences with ur own being all nerdy plus geeky about it, then find a reason to leave) —> this is what I do
- If you ARE interested in the guy (or you’re in the mood of playing around with players who hit on girls with cheesy lines), you can try to repeat the sentence he just said, “Puis-je vous embrasser?’ what does that mean? how should I response to that?” He’d say “just say ‘oui’” and he will kiss you and you remain the “innocent” one —> not a suggested move, but you can keep this in mind in case the guy is really really really hot, for example he looks like Adam Levine mixed with Patrick Dempsey, he dances like Marc Anthony, he suits up, and works for a swiss bank (see? you are suggested to use this counter-classic only for extreme cases). Remember, in this extreme case (and ONLY in this extreme case), you are suggested to leave your phone number. Who’s stupid enough not to leave phone number for that kind of guy??
5. Remember guys who use this pick up line is either a loser or a player. It will show, really. So, in ordinary cases, I will suggest you to just do the first counter classic. In the extreme case (counter-classic #2), he’s definitely a player, so don’t involve your heart.
