I am not a girl but that sounds like a BAD pickup line.

I get that line WAY too much.

Please, think of something different. Use something from my profile.

If you have read my profile and ask me a question about it, I will be more likely to respond. It looks less like desperation and more like "Hi, I want to get to know YOU."

And a complement is always nice. I do appreciate them, but not if that is all you are focused on.

I get stuck on first e-mails as well, but anything is better than "I think you're cute."

Dogs,kids and old people holding hands are cute..A women is sexy or hot

TG86.. Pick something from her profile and use that for a opening line. Even if she is hot or has an amazing smile.. you're probably the 5th email that day she's received with that line...

You'll get much better success with complimenting something specific in her profile (look at interests that you share, fascinating hobbies, etc). From the responses I've heard and the *profiles* I've read, too many guys lead with variations of "wow! You're hawt!"

The time to compliment a lady on her appearance is after you've gotten to know each other.
