How to pick up a librarian.

[Drakulla]

Wait! this chick isn't fat is she, I hope you have good insurance.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Try to get to know her more before asking if she wants to go out or something. After that, be yourself and just hope it all works out for the best.

The cool thing about Librarians is that you can take more than one out at the same time.

Don't try to impress here with knowledge if you don't know what you're talking about. She might blind you with library science.

1.Get this tote:

2. Put it on her desk, and look extremely awkward 'till she acknowledges your existence.
3. Ask her if she wants to go for a coffee.

Seriously, that would be so adorable and awkward, I'd have to at least have a coffee with somone who did that t ome.

Impregnate her through drunk hot bathroom sex at a concert.

Girls dont find shyness attractive.
They dont.
Your goal is to be self confident, but not a dick.
Whenever you feel nervous, just think "What would James Dean do?"

I prefer to ask "What would MacGyver do?"
Well, either MacGyver or James Bond

Pick up lines that you can use:

Mind if I check you out?

I bet you have quite a nice book worm!

Are you a librarian? Well I really need to be shushed!

Damn... you have more hard covers than my private stash

Have you heard the one about the librarian with more stacks than she could handle?

No one believes I am a librarian, maybe you should try to check me out.

You have the tightest hair bun in the place.

Let's play search engine: enter your terms and see if you get positive results.

I'd catalog you under "Desirable!"

You're the hottest one I've checked out all week.

So... they say Dewey had a harem, care to help me start mine?

They say you're like a public library, anyone with a card can check you out.

I may not be a cataloger, but I bet I can find a place to fit you in.

So is it true academic librarians only let scholars in?

My mom was a librarian, she taught me every should have access to my stacks

What's you cutter number baby?

Playing doctor is for kids! Let's play librarian.

Do you mind if I use my Dewey Decimal on you?

Hey baby, let's play library, you can be the door and I'll slam you!

Do you know the difference between sex and The LC Subject Headings?
(No?) Do you want to go up to my room?

Are you a librarian? So then you can believe in open access to your stacks?

So when's the last time you were "on the desk"

My fingers are quite strong from typing all day.

look for books called "Breaking the ice" and "How to pick up a librarian" maybe if you give them to her with a smile she'll get the hint.

Would not advise this really but it might pay off

How to pick up a librarian:
1. Go to the library and find a book entitled "How to pick up a librarian".
2. Go home and read the book.
3. Implement the essential skills you have learned.

Pretty sure if he went and just tried to check out the book, she would get the hint. So, just find that book (if it exists in that library), and wait til she's working the checkout.

Important update folks:

Turns out through random conversation down the pub with some friends tonight, one of my friends mum actually works at the library with this girl and she is infact single and called Amanda. Armed with this information, I pretty much have to go for it at the next opportunity.

There's been over 100 replies, but I'll put in my 2 cents.
When you loan a book, smile, say hi, be nice enough that she'll smile when she sees coming through the doors. After that is accomplished, start having more small talk with her while checking out books (asking her to personally help you find one would create the best window of opportunity).

When she knows you're friendly, simply ask her what time she gets off and ask her out for a cup of coffee. It's really not as hard as most people would make you believe. Confidence is the most important thing.

 

[Lexodus]

She's probably an extreme feminist or a rug-muncher, to use that semi-disgusting, semi-hilarious phrase. You don't find many hot librarians nowadays, and the ones you do find usually have something terribly wrong with them, like being a total *****, for example (student librarian in my school).

 

[quiet_samurai]

Well jeez I wonder what she's into... (hint: books)... you're welcome.

But really, ask her opinion about a book or genre of books. Next time you see her, tell her you and your friends were having a debate or discussion about something that could be clarified by some form of literature. Tell her that you were wondering what she thinks as a librarians point of view AND a womens point of view. She's obviously studious so she probably won't mind the inquiry. Even one better, ask to is she would be interested to talk about it on her lunch break.

 

[Lexodus]

Stalking.

Stalking is always a good option. Take photos of her while she's not looking, then fill your house walls with them.
After that, try to find out where her house is.
Writing "I love you and I want your babies" on her door with your own blood is always a good ice-breaker.

For the love of God, do not do what I just said.

I lol'd too.

Woohoo!

 

[Dooly95]

Catch the same train as her, then save her from a drunk.

(if no one got that, that's fine too)


She's a librarian, talk about books.

I got the reference... you're talking about that Japanese Train Man guy, right?

Yes. And I get the feeling of deja vu from this thread. Odd, huh?

 

[Lord_Panzer]

Right, this is how it is.

So, fellow Escapists, I come to you for advice. What should a shy guy do to try and break the ice? Anyone been in a similar situation before?

"Hi, I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with something clever and witty to say to you but frankly I'm drawing a blank. Since I couldn't come up with something funny to say I just thought I'd be honest. You , librarian lady, are really pretty and I would love the chance to get to know you better sometime. Can i take you out for a drink?" btw, I'm (whatever your name is, let's say Chad). btw, I'm Chad.

By the Gods, that's brilliant and clever!

lol, thanks. Not to sound like a conceited prick (though I kinda am) I am VERY good at picking up the ladies. When we go to the bar my buddies just stand in a group and wait for me to come back with a batch of females.

If you need advise pm me. I charge 50 cents per pick up scenario. if you get laid, it's 10$. I'm relying on the honour system.

A man giving advice on how to pick-up women relying on the honour system. The irony!

But seriously, the approach you detailed there is most likely one of the best things he could say.

 

[Lazzi]

LOOK FOR A RING!!!

Women like that do not stay in the open market for long. She if she is already married.

Blaze through books, become a common visitor. After you go through a few rounds of books, say your out of ideas.

Ask her what she likes to read, and if she has any suggestion. ACtully read thsoe book and talk to her about them.

I agree 100%, but i feel it could backfire in this situation. Deflecting an ballistic missile using nothing but a fine mesh, a bag of rice and willpower might not be the most effective pick up tactic.
