30 (Not So) Sexy Conversation Starters

Many women consider Cosmo the "bible," yet lately some of their guy advice is less than sound. Check out some of their ridiculous "irrestible lure-him-in tricks" that are more likely to embarrass you than help you hit it off with that cute guy.
Oh, and whatever you do, please DO NOT try these at home...or anywhere else for that matter. ~~ Interns Cait & Kelsey for Toni

On the beach
**"Paddle up to a sexy surfer and say, "I drifted away from where my girlfriends are sitting. Would you mind if I climbed on your board for a second so I can get a better view of the beach?"

Think about the negatives for a second...In a movie this move works out perfectly but in real life not so much. Two people + One surfboard = tragedy waiting to happen. The odds of you mounting the board without having it catapult the "sexy surfer" into a crashing wave are 1 in a 1,000,000. So just don't.

At the bar
**"Don a necklace or T-shirt with your name on it or, if you're more daring, a cute moniker like Sweet Devil or Foxy Mama. Don't be surprised if a friendly fella starts chatting you up to see if you really live up to your title."

If you own a "Foxy Mama" or "Sweet Devil" shirt please save yourself some embarassment and throw it out NOW. No one should even own these never the less use them to seduct someone in a bar.

**"Lose" one of your earrings. Start eyeing the ground, especially near that dude you'd like to date. Lift your hair and show him the other earring so he can help you in your search. When you both hit the floor, lock eyes with him, then smile when you're just inches away from each other's lips.

Chances are the guy will have bad eyesight. And you'll never see that pretty little earring again... Bad idea.

In a bookstore
**"Pick out a humor book, sit down next to him, and start laughing seductively. Lock eyes with him and let him know you're not a psycho — this book is just so funny! Lean in to show him a hilarious line."

No, you'll definitely look insane. And if the joke sucks and he doesn't laugh, you'll look even more insane than you did to begin with.

At a party
**"Say, "You look so familiar. Didn't we meet at Lisa's coed naked lawn-bowling party?" It doesn't matter that he won't even know who Lisa is; he'll be so intrigued, he won't be able to resist asking what exactly happens at a naked lawn-bowling party. "

Naked lawn-bowling, really? This one's self-explanatory...

At the gym
**"After breaking a sweat, turn to a mouthwatering man and exclaim, "Ooh, I can't catch my breath — I just don't know if it's the workout or the company."

Unless you look like Megan Fox or Gisele Bundchen you'll probably just look like an out of shape fat girl gasping for air between words. Again, no.

In a coffee shop
**"After taking a big sip of your mocha so your smackers get doused with whipped cream, ask if there's any whipped cream on your lip. Take a long time licking it off. "

You may think this can be extremely sexy and seductive and in a perfect world it might...face it this is terrible. You'll probably end up drooling or having whip cream melt off your face and onto your shirt. Just...no.
