So I've heard a few times that a good way to get a girl is to lure her with poetry. I've heard it once when a spokesman (an author) came and talk to our class back in high school, and again in the Spiderman 2 film. I've never actually tried it, but I will now that I've become less shy and have the chance to talk to a certain someone. But have any of the guys here tried it? How far did it get you with girls? Maybe the gals here can give me some advice, or their experience as well.

I had an um... rap written for me. Had this been a courting gesture rather than just a spontaneous action, I probably would have just lol'd. I'm not really into poetry, but if the girl was, I could see potential for it to work. And a rule of thumb is to take everything you see on movies with a grain of salt, especially ones where being bitten by a spider makes you awesome, not swollen up and in the ER.

I'm a man, I don't express my feelings through words and such. I get women by ripping off my shirt and beating on my chest.

It varies from each girl I was trying to impress, sometimes I would compare some of them to nature or some to other stuff that they reminded me of. I liked to personalize them and not make them so generic.

This is the poem I use to get all the ladies;

Roses are nice
Violets are fine.
I'll be the six
If you be the nine.

Has never failed me yet 8)

That's pretty smooth. I reckon I'd be terrified to present something like that. I trust you read it aloud to them. :D

It's possible I suppose, but in this day and age you probably need the girl to be really smart or really stupid to make much headway with poetry.

You should not be terrified to give them or recite them the poem you have written them, having confidence is another quality they like.

TBH, i have never needed to/considered/ever would use poetry to get a girl. Furthermore, I would never be anything other than myself. What's the point?/

Just use this little number and they'll be all over you:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I'd really like it

If I could **** you

I would only write a poem for a girl if we were already dating. Poetry (especially love poems) always seem pretentious and fake.

I'm more a fan of the surprise romantic gesture myself. It's much more personal than leaving a poem for someone. You should be in "the moment" together. ;)

I am a girl.Just saying, but unless she's already fallen for you or you are really good at poetry, yer chances are slim.
