Yes. No lame pick up lines, period. I made small talk with hubby, he made small talk with me, we asked each other questions. We got to know it each other; it was nice.
Compare this to a guy I worked with back in Austin. We worked with our desks next to each; there were dozens of us crammed into a small room. We would all chat,as a group, and have a good time on our lunch break. One day, I'm in the copy room, and he comes in behind me and said "Did I ever tell you how much red heads turn me on?" and blocks my way by putting his arm across the door. At this point, I don't think he even knew my last name.
See, if he had said, "I heard that you really liked movies. I like to going to the movies, too. Want to meet up for a movie on Saturday?" I would have said "Sure!" But no. Instead he went straight to being "creepy office guy," and I never spoke to him again.
Don't be that guy. Lead with starting a conversation. Have fun and be friends first. Don't use a "Hey, baby, come here often?" line. Just be yourself. Like, "Hey, our lunch breaks are at the same time. Wanna go grab a pizza? I heard you went to such and such College. Did you like it? I went to (wherever)." Share information as you ask her about herself. It becomes a conversation. You might even find that you don't like someone that much and just keep it friendly.
If you try to force something, which I have done, it sends the other person running for their lives. I know I scared away more than a few guys by trying too hard. No one finds the stink of desperation attractive. Just be yourself. Confidence, kindness and mutual interests are what attracts people, and makes them want to continue the relationship.
