MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So I've been going climbing a fair bit recently, and there's a nice looking guy there who I'd like to get talking to. Thing is, I go with a couple of (bloke) mates, and opportunities to just start up a conversation are limited... Any suggestions for chat up lines that might work? Thanks 😀
Go and ask him for a route recommendation, you could ask him to show you on the crag where a route is that you "can't find" on your topo. This should break the ice.
i didn't think blokes needed chat up lines - usually a woman being alive and in the vicinity is sufficient. try 'hi'
"are you on facebook?"
take it from there

True 😳 😉
It can't really be [i]that[/i] easy - aren't blokes picky in any way??
I'm very picky. But don't envisage a chat up line being necessary.
'Im not wearing any drawers'
You already have a shared interest, just say hello, if he already likes the look of you he might be unsure about the nature of your relationship with your belay bunnies so (subtly) letting him know that you're not attached (assuming that you are 😉 ) would be good. Just don't make it look as though you're likely to cook his rabbit.....
casual chat, ask him to "Belay"* you or something coz ur mates are busy
*other climbing terms must be available, and yes i have no idea what it means, i meant when someone holds your rope whilst you climb...i think
casual chat, ask him to "Belay"* you or something coz ur mates are busy
This is a good idea, but will mean he gets the opportunity to stare at my arse (not, in my opinion, my best feature) for the duration...
Get hair stuck in your belay device, ask him to help.
You may end up slightly balder....but you'll be in a nice close position to talk 🙂
Ask him if he wants to see your nut set...
(outdoor climbing humour)
This always work for me ... "Do you come here often?" ... then "How about it eh?" ...
... hhmmm ... where are all those lovely women lately ... 😯
"Hi, I'm here to save you from making a terrible mistake with that older man"
worked for me at University.
Wait until your mates are out of the way (send them away if need be) and ask him for some advice on something - maybe ask about some of his gear, or a move you saw him make.
It doesn't have to be too clever. Any bloke will be only too pleased to tell you how much he knows.

Offer to belay him then....when you go second he'll see you from above 🙂
D'oh! ... chatting up blokes ...
Okay, make it simple say do you want to go for a cuppa.
pics or it's a wind up.
not a bad one mind...
I envisage a longest thread ever in the making...
pics of what? 😆
your idea of what is/is not your best feature is irrelevant. more women would do well to know that. nod, smile, listen, lean in, laugh. beyond that, it either works or doesn't. if it doesn't he's either with a yogic sex-goddess already, or gay. it's the only logical conclusion.

brilliant 😀
women do not need chat up lines
you: "could you check out my lashings and slippery hitch?"
him: "phwooooooooaaarrr"

You're warm, you're breathing, and presumably fit. You're set.
miss read post.

As above just chat about routes etc it will be obvious if he is interested.
I used to work with someone who would walk up to someone and just say "Fancy a ****" His idea was if he asked enough women one was bound to say yes, rules of probability. To the best of my knowledge it never worked and he did get thrown out of a few pubs and clubs for it. I always thought he wasn't running on all cylinders but he was adamant this was the best way to pick up women.
This was a few years ago and this person is quite a senior member of staff now, I do chuckle to myself when I see him!
If its at a wall, ask if he will take his top off.
A climber ?
Harumph, mountain bikers not good enough for you then ? 👿
Katykins = Houns.
What would work as a chat upline for you? If I'm beginning to learn anything, it's that in some respects men and women aren't so different... we have many of the same insecurities and respond to similar forms of flattery.
Blokes are picky, some more than others. You can't fail with 'Hi' and a smile. Unless he's a freak he'll start talking to you, unless he's with the yogic sex goddess he'll have asked for your number that night or the next time he sees you.. if not ask for his.
Katykins = *******
Not Houns.
How about a simple "Would you like to come here often?"
umm if you are chatting up a bloke, just ask him if you want to come over to youre house, the answer will be yes, go from their, men see every woman they find remotely attractive a potential partner..remember that and you will be fine:)
"hi there, i have a pulse"
youve pulled.
You need a Fat Penguin.
men see every woman they find remotely attractive a potential partner
rubbish.
partner?
Ask him which is the best / local pub for a post-climb drink. (Unless it's the Miner's, in which case it's obvious). Then say "Thanks, perhaps I'll see you there?"
katykins - The fact that a large number of blokes on here think this is 100% troll, that they're probably thinking that such a women as yourself does not exist, such give you courage just to go and say 'hi'.
Some probably spend their time at climbing walls etc... praying the cute brunette that they keep making eye contact with isn't already taken...
If he's interested but has been to shy to come and speak to you, or thinks that you're with one of the guys that you climb with, he'll already be checking you out. The quick hello is what he's probably been hoping for and he'll already know a route that you're struggling on, or will have noticed something about you and will be ready to stumble his way into a proper conversation.
If he's interested you should have already noticed him checking you out... you know... caught him taking a sly look, probably at your bum. If he's not interested, but he's single... the flattery of being approached and knowing you're interested will almost certainly make him start thinking about you as having 'potenital'.
Thanks TSY 🙂 This has made me feel a lot better. Next time I see him there I'll take my chances and go over to say hello - what's the worst that could happen!
he could be not interested in girls, that is my only thought on the matter as he's not approached YOU yet.
"Do you have a pet bunny? And a saucepan big enough?"
Katykins is not Houns. However if she's cute she could be the future Mrs Houns 8)
It's a climbing wall though, not a gym
She's cute 😉
We need an update...what did you make him for breakfast?
A smile is a good start!!
Ask if you can dip your hands in his bag and have a squeeze of his [url= http://www.facewest.co.uk/Nadz-Chalkball.html ]Nadz[/url]. Do it with a straight face.

I think us 'men' on here could help you there, if we had a photo or two that is!... 😉
I think us 'men' on here could help you there, if we had a photo or two that is!...i agree, let us all tell you what we think of you!
Blimei you can tell it's spring around here!
I'm off climbing tonight so will give you an update then...
Just trying to decide which of the suggestions to use!
non of them if you have any sense, be yourself!
good luck
How strange... I'm going climbing tonight too...
Although I happen to know I'm going to a different wall. Have to say, climbing is almost as good as yoga for svelteness of participants...
Good Luck!
*awaits update*
After all that effort, he wasn't even there tonight...
That added to a rubbish date last night is making me feel like giving up altogether 😥

I'd work on your chatup lines if I were you 😉 or take up stalking.

Maybe he reads this forum and you scared him off? 😉
What climbing wall do you go to anyway?
What an unsatisfactory conlcusion to this story. Until next week I guess...
Or do what I've done and give up philandering for lent.
What an unsatisfactory conlcusion to this story
yep i thought that too! Never mind. Maybe I should come along to the swinley sexy party instead.

That would be telling 😉
I hear Brookes is good for cute guys...

Really? I must get up to Oxford more often...
er.... I don't know how to break this to you, but it's really not that sexy...
You've ruined all my fantasies!

Could be a REALLY clever marketing ploy by the climbing wall to end up booked out one night 🙂
You've ruined all my fantasies!
Better that you find out now, it'll save you the crushing disappointment of actually turning up there... 😉

Booked out with a bunch of mountain bikers all falling off the Grade 1 bouldering sections before retiring to the cafe to gaze hopefully at any girl who happens to be there!
I'm going to wear a lycra onesy to the swinleysexyparty, it'll be sooo sexy.
Have you had an invite to the pre party?

there's a pre-party?? and i've not been invited? 😥
Your name isn't on the official sexyride list? 😉

It sounds like it'd be Awesome if you were there twice?
i could bring my identical twin sister?

Too late.
You don't even want to know what the original draft said... didn't want people getting the wrong impression of me.
Westway or Mile End?
