According to UsMagazine.com, a woman was reportedly approached by Grammy winner Chris Brown, 22, with one absurd pickup line.  Brown is rumored to have told the woman, ” Can I get your number?  I promise I won’t beat you!”   After pleading guilty in 2009 to beating ex-girlfriend and singer Rihanna, 24, many think Brown should take domestic violence seriously, to say the least.

What are some ways to know when a pickup line is sincere?

Cupid’s Advice:

Pickup lines get bad reps, but sometimes a guy can really be trying to compliment you.  Here are some ways to know if a pickup line is sincere:

1. Serious: If a guy tries to talk to you and gives a line that doesn’t leave him or his friends laughing, he may be sincere about going on a date.

2. Compliment: There is a thin line between giving a compliment and being a bit disrespectful.  If the line makes you feel confident and not harassed, romance might be in the making.

3. Conversation: The best pickup line gets a potential partner to talk.  Asking about the weather, sports or how someone is feeling can spark chemistry.
