Cosmo is back with some terrible flirting advice! We read their list of “Things to Say to a Guy You Just Met” so you don’t have to.

At the laundromat: “I’m bored. What do you normally do when your underwear is drying?” Guys are extremely visual creatures. Even though you mentioned his underwear, he’s automatically thinking about yours—and the fact that they’re probably black and lacy, or barely there at all.

At a friend’s party: “I wanted to talk to you the second I got here, but no one introduced me. So I’m introducing myself.”

At the park: “Any ideas on how to turn this blanket into a Twister board? I really want to play.”


At a baseball game: “I bet you a post-game drink that (insert player’s name) will hit a home run this inning.”

On the beach: “I bet you’re wondering how I avoid tan lines.”
