Whatever type of guy you are, you only get one chance to make a first impression and the way you introduce yourself to\u00a0women\u00a0can make or\u00a0break\u00a0you on the romantic playing field. These real-life bad examples can help you avoid practicing the 5 worst ways to introduce yourself to\u00a0women.<\/p>\n<h2>The Over-Enthusiast<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019re so excited, and you just can\u2019t hide it! So you suddenly find yourself doing an impromptu reenactment of the opening scene of the Dick Van Dyke show. Dude! Take a chill pill. Over-excitedly sprinting forward and tripping over everything in your path to approach a lady may get a smile out of her. But rest assured, that smile will be followed by the uproarious laughter of her and her\u00a0girlfriends\u00a0at the slapstick stooge you\u2019ve just made of yourself. Jennifer, 29: \u201cI had a guy spot me from outside while I was in the Sprint store. He literally walked into the damn glass door. Nose bleed and everything.\u201d Ouch!<\/p>\n<h2>The Under-Enthusiast<\/h2>\n<p>Sure chicks dig the shy, quiet types, but don\u2019t go to extremes and clam up completely. When you hover around waiting for her to introduce herself, you\u2019re lurking. If your silent, lingering presence doesn\u2019t creep her out, and by a strange twist of fate she asks you to introduce yourself, she probably wants to help return you to the rehab center that she thinks you\u2019ve wandered off from.\u00a0And for\u00a0cryin\u2019\u00a0out loud don\u2019t send your\u00a0wingman!\u00a0Women\u00a0like\u00a0confidence. Having your buddies come plead your case is borderline pathetic. Cute in an eighth grade kind of way, but still pathetic. Man-up and approach us yourself! Angela, 32: \u201cAt first I thought he was adorable and shy. But after 20 minutes of him just staring, I figured something was wrong with him. His friends didn\u2019t make a convincing argument.\u201d\u00a0Run Forrest, run!<\/p>\n<h2>The Comparison Maker<\/h2>\n<p>Comparing women to famous, coveted\u00a0hotties\u00a0may seem like the ideal icebreaker, but when you tell a woman that she resembles a\u00a0celebrity\u00a0you\u2019re treading on very thin ice. What looks good to you might not be so attractive to the girl you\u2019re trying to impress. If she considers herself thinner, prettier or smarter than the starlet or supermodel you\u2019ve compared her to, you\u2019re done for. Darlene, 24: \u201cSeriously, does anyone think being compared to Courtney\u00a0Love\u00a0is compliment?\u201d We sure as hell hope not.<\/p>\n<h2>Pick-Up Lines<\/h2>\n<p>Cheesy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.loveawake.com\/2018\/09\/14\/10-pick-up-lines-from-great-literature-consider-thee-seduced\/\">pick-up lines<\/a>\u00a0are definitely not the way to introduce yourself to a woman. \u201cThere\u2019s a\u00a0party\u00a0in my pants and you\u2019re the guest of honor,\u201d \u00a0\u201cI\u2019m not Fred\u00a0Flintstone, but I can make your bedrock,\u201d \u201cI usually have\u00a0sex\u00a0alone, but I\u2019ll make an exception for you,\u201d \u201cExcuse me, does this rag smell like chloroform?\u201d Amusing? Yes. Effective? No. Sam, 48: \u201cIf I told you that you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?\u201d\u00a0 Absolutely not, Sam. But thanks for asking.<\/p>\n<h2>The \u201cHandy Man\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Touching a woman you\u2019ve just met, in any way, shape or form is a surefire way to guarantee you\u2019ll see her again; probably in court. Some feisty females might like aggressive, caveman-like behavior in a guy, but no chick wants to be manhandled by a perfect stranger. Groping, grinding or rubbing up against a lady typically encourages her to plant one right in your kisser, with her fist. Dennis, 43: \u201cSo my motorboat approach doesn\u2019t rank up there with the ladies?\u201d Can someone please recommend a good attorney for Dennis?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some guys have good intentions but no play, others are mischievous players breaking hearts and taking names.
