二、技巧與策略 Tactics & Strategies
For research purposes, WUWOW’s Medium team went around the office to ask both guys andgals whether they’ve ever hit on a stranger before. Our survey was simple with only 3 questions:
2) what are some of your pick-up lines?
3) what are some strategies or tactics you can suggest?
Mr. Patiently Waiting 耐心等待先生
“I am not a flirty guy to begin with, and I used to find it terrifying to talk to strangers, let alone show my interest in them, but I’ve grown to face my fears and get out of my comfort zone. I told myself that I’ve got nothing to lose, but definitely nothing to gain if I don’t try.
My main strategies are staying focused and patient. There was a really cute girl who used to work at a coffee shop and to get her attention, I would try and visit the shop every day, ordering the same, complicated drink. After a few visits, I could tell she remembered and recognized me as soon as I walked in the door.
When I felt the timing was right, I struck up a conversation beyond the usual “I’ll have a tall chai latte with skimmed milk and a dash of cinnamon.” I went on and added things like, “I bet you know what I was going to order, eh?” It wasn’t long before we exchanged contact information.”
「先說,我不是個輕佻的人,而且以前我覺得跟陌生人講話很恐怖,更別說要我表達對他們的興趣了,但如今我已經成長許多,並且能夠勇於面對我的恐懼,突破舒適圈了。我告訴我自己,我沒有什麼好失去的,但若什麼都不試,就一定什麼都得不到。
我的策略就是專心跟耐心。之前在咖啡廳有個超可愛的女孩,我試著每天都去點一樣的複雜的飲料(就是要求特多的那種)來引起她的注意。一段時間後,我發現她有記得我,並且會在我踏入店裡就認出來。
當我覺得時機成熟時,除了我平常會說的“我想點大杯的印度香料奶茶加上脫脂牛奶以及一點點肉桂粉。”以外,我就趁機開啟話題來認識她。我順接了一句“我猜妳應該知道我要點啥了吧?”我們不久之後就交換了聯絡方式。」
Ms. Now or Never 要不就現在小姐
“One of the bravest things I’ve ever done was going up to this guy on the train. I don’t normally do things like this but as he walked by me on the train that morning, he really took my breath away, you know? He was pretty tall, had headphones on, wore faded jeans and nodded his head to the beat of his music.
There was just something about him. He wasn’t just good looking, but there was something about his aura. I’ve always been really outgoing and talking to strangers was never a problem, but there was something about him that gave me the butterflies…
I had 11 more stops before I had to get off, 11 more stops before I had to say goodbye to this gorgeous human being, so at the 7th stop, I gathered all my courage and walked up to this guy.
Oh, thank goodness there weren’t a lot of people that morning! So anyways, I literally just said, ‘Hi, I’ve been wanting to talk to you since you got on the train. I am getting off in 4 stops and I don’t want to seem creepy but I would really love to get to know you more.’ Unfortunately, it wasn’t a fairytale ending.
He politely rejected me, ‘Oh wow, thanks, I’m flattered, but, uh… I have a girlfriend.’ Needless to say, it was awkward for me but he was so nice and told me he really appreciates girls with guts. It wasn’t how I wanted things to go, but at least I tried and I’ve never regretted it.”
「在火車上跟這傢伙搭訕是我這輩子最勇敢的一次了。我通常不會做這樣的事情但是那天早上他在火車上經過我的時候,他真的讓我驚艷到忘了呼吸,你懂那個感覺嗎?他還蠻高的,戴著耳機,穿著刷白的牛仔褲然後輕輕的隨著音樂點著頭。
對我來說 那是一種說不上的特別。他不只是小鮮肉而已,他就像是有光環的樣子(我整個超花癡的)。我一直以來都是很外向不害怕跟陌生人講話的人,但是看到他的時候竟然讓我小鹿亂撞!
離我下車還有十一站的距離就必須跟這位神秘人物說再見了,所以我在第七站的時候提起我所有的勇氣走過去。
噢,感謝老天爺那早上人沒有很多!總之,我真的直接說“嗨,從你上車以來我就想來跟你講話,我再四站就要下車了,我不想要讓你覺得我很奇怪,但我希望可以多認識你一點。”很遺憾的,這並不是一個童話故事的結局。
他禮貌地回絕了我:“噢哇,感謝,我有點受寵若驚,但...我有女朋友了。”不用多說,當下我超尷尬,但是他人很好的告訴我說他很欣賞我這種很勇敢有勇氣的女孩子。雖然結局不如同我想像但是至少我試過了而且我不會後悔。」
Ms. Batting Eyes 拋媚眼小姐
“I’m not very experienced at picking up guys, but if there’s a guy I’m interested in at a bar or club, I’ll allow him to catch me looking at him and look away. Usually, if the guy is interested, they’ll come over. Not really sure if this counts as a pick-up strategy, though!”
「我搭訕不是hen有經驗,但如果我有在酒吧或是俱樂部看到有興趣的帥哥,我會讓一直對他輕輕地拋眉眼,讓他知道我在看他,然後再看別的地方。通常如果那男的對我有興趣,他就會過來。我也不知道這算不算搭訕的招式。」
Mr. I-like-you-and-you-know-it 妳知道我喜歡妳先生
“I like to keep things classy and show girls that chivalry ain’t dead. I’ll be on my best behavior, open doors, pull out chairs, and all. And I have no problem telling them right away that I’m attracted to them! I find that this is just a more efficient use of both of our time, if one isn’t feeling the vibe, then we can both move on. None of that play-hard-to-get crap.”
「我喜歡讓女孩們覺得騎士精神永在。我會主動開門、拉椅子之類的行為來證明。然後我會很直接告訴她我對她有興趣或是我喜歡她。我發現這樣對雙方來說都比較不會浪費時間,如果其中一方沒有感覺,那我們就各自繼續自己的道路。我不喜歡欲擒故縱的遊戲。」
Mr. Cheesy-tacky-but-oh-so-classy 俗氣又經典先生
“I’m not great looking and it’s not like I have a lot to offer, but my sense of humor has always helped me in my relationships and meeting new people.
I’ll bust out all the old, out-of-date, cheesy pick-up lines, the girls will laugh and call me tacky, but it’s a great conversation opener. No matter how tacky the lines are, with the right attitude, some girls still appreciate the timelessness of these pick-up lines.”
「我長的不怎麼樣也沒有什麼厲害背景,但我的幽默感總是可以在感情中幫助我,以及認識新朋友。
我會三不五時用那些老掉牙又俗氣的套路,女孩們會笑我老派但我覺得這是很好開啟話題的一招。不管那些套路有多鳥,態度對的話,有些女孩還是會欣賞這些經典的搭訕金句的。」
三、經典(老派)搭訕語句 Classic (old-fashioned) Pick-up Lines
For entertainment purposes, we’ve listed out a few classic (but really, old-fashioned) pick-up lines. We (ages 25–35, female and male) rated these on a scale of 1–10 (1 = acceptable cheesy, 10 = do-not-ever-use-this cheesy). Remember, these lines used to work back in the days, so who knows, maybe it’s about time we bring [some of] them back!
為了搏君一笑,我們(25-35歲的男女)找出一些經典(但真的蠻老派)的搭訕金句。我們設了一個從一到十的評分標準(1=能接受,10=也太噁心了吧)。記得,這些話在很久以前都很有用,誰知道,搞不好這就是我們復古的最好時機!
