how to cool conversation down after obvious interest is displayed?

[Mustang05]

Lately I have started talking to random people at like churches, recreation centers and said like:

Me: Hi, I'm ____. What's your name?
Her: I'm ______
Me: I just noticed that you have beautiful eyes.

This is the part where they are laughing off their nervousness or blushing, what is a good way to continue on with the conversation after showing my obvious interest? Usually I just make fun of their blushing or laughing.. What are some other good methods to cool it down or continue on with conversation after showing obvious interest?

I'm not asking for better starting conversation methods to replace this one, I'm just playing around with this... Rather I am asking what are good ways to cool down the conversation/continue after those first three lines.

So please do not give me better starting conversation methods.

I find taking the conversation into interests and things you have in common cools it down pretty well. Its particularly easy to do it when you talk at churches and recreation centres because usually the subject can be around you, for instance talking about religion and church (not my kind of conversation =D)

Furthermore, is a church really the ideal place to try to pick up women? If you're just working on talking to people, then that's all good, but I think the last place I'd get my pimp on would be a church. There's something sheep, er, Christians view in that little book that talks about premarital sex and all.

Moving along - The next best step is, in my opinion, avoiding certain subjects. If you remember to keep words like "abortion," "the KKK," "anal," and such free from your conversation, then you're usually going in the right direction. Controversial subjects aren't the best openers or first-impressions.

Next, feel free to poke fun at any blushing/flattery responces you get. The key word is "poke," not "violently stab." A good follow-up would be something like "What do you know - a little blushing brings out their color even better" or something. Not "Wow, welcome to Fagopolis, population: You." You get the idea...

Then, as former-professional-golfer-in-a-movie ShooterMcGavin said, touch on things in your area. If you're at a tennis match, chances are you can talk about tennis freely. If you're at a basketball game, don't bring up how the handicapped people are just god showing a sense of humour.

Well, good luck.

That is one amazing follow up line I never came up with.

I'm actually not religious, I just have a friend that goes to church so I go over there to screw around from time to time.

I beg to differ cable although you had an excellent post.

If you are already religious and you want to continue the faith why not go after a girl of the same faith. You already have common ground and a somewhat mutual interest plus their b!tch shields will be down at church. She isn't going to have her b!tch shield on when talking to the preacher is she.

BTW not all people in this site are just after a piece of @ss (don't know where you fall into this category Mustang05). Some people actually want a girl that they can share a convo with and is somewhat intelligent.

live and learn then get laid

That is one amazing follow up line I never came up with.

BTW don't always use lines. Come up with your own stuff on the fly because sometime it is easier to say.

Hey, it's all well-and-good wherever people do their thing at. I can't say I'd ever consider a chruch as a place to meet women, but if it makes 'em happy then that's all that matters.

I will say to Comic (or whoever really), though, that - and I'm looking for an easy way to put this - the idea of a religion-based, long-term relationship in high school doesn't scream "success" very loudly. Unless you'd happen to go to the same college or whatnot, I'd strongly suggest persuing other people solely for the fact that it wouldn't give you really any real-life field experience otherwise. Use high school as the practice field or the step ladder for when you're older.

Now, you can disagree with that last paragraph if you want to, I don't care. It's simply my opinion, so take it for whatever it's worth to you.

Bye now

You guys dun know nothin.

There are tons of hot sluts that go to church during the high school years.

Yeah, i go to church weekly and have hooked up (gone all the way) with three or four girls there.

A lot of them are just being forced by parents, or go for friends.

I am not looking to really "get" anything. I am just looking for THAT companion whom can listen to me, spend time with me and have fun with. I don't want to "get" anything either until I'm older.

What should my response me if after saying:
Me: Hi, I'm ____. What's your name?
Her: I'm ______
Me: I just noticed that you have beautiful eyes.

That person is NOT blushing/not surprised/seems calm?

Because today... I just said that to somebody who was 3 years older than me. I'm 17 and she's 20 and in college now.

I went into a store, said:

Me: Hi, I'm Alan, what's your name. (reached out my hand)
(she looked at me blankly and wondered who i was) and said something like why?
Me: I said shake my hand.
(so then i introduced myself to her sisters)
then when they said if they should know I said no and said that I just wanted to say that
Me: You have beautiful eyes.
Her: Thank you (in calm demeanor)
Me: What do you know, blushing makes the colors even better. (i still said this even though she wasn't because i know that most people can't tell if their blushing and continued on to a normal conversation.

I learned from this that I should NEVER say I'm Alan what's your name and put my hands out to shake them unless it's in a formal atmosphere and I'm not a random person. I should instead say: "Mind if I say something?"

So what if I say "you have beautiful eyes"
and she has a calm reaction/not taken off guard? What is a good next step or thing to say?

'Course they do...I'm glad you didn't beat around the bush and aided my cause a little farther.

Irony anyone?
