Yep, my wife…completely unimpressed by any yoyo tricks I do. My 5, 7 and 9 year old nieces though completely impressed even by a sleeper! ;D
Seriously though, if someone needs to be “impressed” to like you or be your friend they aren’t worth your time. They need to like you and want to be around you for you.
That’s a tough one partner. I throw yo-yos at work all the time, most girls are polite enough to ignore me, but the last girl that was impressed asked me if I could walk the dog (which I totally can, btw). She seemed pretty happy to see that, I think she was around ten years old.
I’ve had plenty of girls come talk to me when I’m yoyoing, and I’m not the prettiest thing you find in a trash can (darn apple cores lookin’ too darn fine this time of year). All terrible jokes aside I guess. Have fun and be yourself. If the girl doesn’t like your mad yoyo skills, maybe you could do it the old fashion way and say “hi! My name is ___!”

Two handed looping always impress girls, though it takes time to practice and if you’re not good at it yet, better not do it at all.
Probably the trick that generally doesn’t take a long time yet looks flashy enough is eli hop. Though I would suggest fast combos if you’re good enough. Also picture tricks like the heart shape or tower.
I’m married with children now, but when I was in college, girls melted for it. Yeah, anyone can own a guitar and be able to play a few chords, being technically sound and able to play/sing in time or with a band is still impressive to everyone.
Yo-yo impresses me, though, so there’s also that.
If the point of your yoyoing is to impress girls in the first place, then it’s not a good reason to yoyo at all. There are many other ways to impress girls that is more likely to work than yoyoing.
In the end, if you love yoyoing, do it, regardless of the girls.
