This is important. And by the way, the simple straightforward approach is best-at least this is what women said in a study involving 1,000 of them conducted by psychologist Chris Kleinke and reported in national magazines.

(Another study by psychologist Charlene Muehlenhard of Texas A&M University found the straightforward approach was rated highest by men, too.)

Kleinke's survey of college women found that they rate these as the best opening lines:

"Hi."
"I feel a little embarrassed about this, but I'd like to meet you."
"Do you want to dance?"
"That's a very nice dress you have on."
"Can I buy you lunch?"

Smug or flippant lines were rated as the biggest turn-off, these heading the list:

"You remind me of a woman I used to date."
"Bet I can outdrink you."
"I play the field and I think I just hit a home run with you."
"Your place or mine?"

Muehlenhard also found that women were turned off by men who kept pestering them for dates after they politely turned them down.
