Replying to your post NOT in the context of "pick up".
I guess I know EXACTLY what you mean. I also believe storytelling as an ability is a very powerful tool in communication (and it is so in any setting, not only in pick-up). (so when I first found a book on "whoever tells the best story wins" I was like "yeah, this is exactly so"). I also know who is the best storyteller in the group (or in class, or anywhere), which attributes are necessary for the best performance, but it is, for fu*in christ, still hard for myself to be a good storyteller. I will tell you that I looked for the answer in different spheres of science, and I am inclined to conclude that this ability depends on several factors, whereas some may play greater role. Interestingly, I noticed (A LOT), that people from countryside were MUCH better storytellers, and were so MUCH frequently. I noticed this in my relatives, in my friends, and in many people that I have met (although there were quite exceptional people). Especially if it is related to humor, country people can tell very naturally (opposed to people who are 'artificial' in storytelling). Anyways, one of the factors that I reason that we are 'bad' storytellers is because of our brain's construction. Not that it is fundamentally different, but probably because there may be neurophysiological peculiarities (but even assuming this is hard for me, cos i'm not an expert in brain anatomy). Also, I think there is another factor... some people enter a certain state of consciousness when telling a story. I was once with a friend, and we were telling different stories from our lives, and I while I was telling one of my stories, I noticed that I was almost day-dreaming the story I was telling, and it was smooth and perfect, and my friend was listening greedily. This is when I thought: people enter into a different conscious state (not in a literal sense, and not radically so, but are mildly absorbed by their own story), so for them it is much easier, and stories fly off their mouth very naturally. As for the solution, so far I could not devise myself a technique, but in the context of pick-up I could suggest you the following:
*use vibrant idioms ('winged words' they also say??)
*use emotion, and at times, enthusiasm when telling something interesting
I could list other advice, but I certainly don't have a perfect prescription, so what you would have to do is to research more on the subject, follow the abovementioned rules, practice more, and maybe someday you will achieve your goal, something which I also aspire in my life.
