Pick-up lines?

Post Reply New Topic

Greetings single WP'ers!

I invite you to tell us of a scenario you've had in meeting one of the other gender. It could be something you experienced for real or it could be fantacy, or it could be otherwise. Then tell us of a pick-up line you thought up in response to the situation. And please, no foul language or anything lewd.

Okay.. I'll start with this:
I had the experience of meeting a pretty lady at a workshop. We got chatting-up quite a storm, there seemed to be a wonderful sense of magic to it all, and in her company I was in blatant contradiction to my usually quiet and shy self. There also seemed to be a lot of common interests between her and I.

Here was my pick-up line:
"You seem to have a lot of interesting things to say. Can I give you a call some time?"

She said "Yes"

Never used one. Well, not for myself.
I did approach someone, for a friend.
She ended up interested in me. Pain
in the ass.

Females who approach me with canned
statements pretty much get snubbed.
Look at my "What to do with the Inane?"
thread: http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php? ... ight=inane

for more fun.

Oh, I'm a feminine female so I get to answer too. I was in a hardware store buying ice cleats last winter (remember where I live, for perspective). A male (XY chromosome) began talking to me. Somehow I was asking him about his catalytic converter - details, then he was no longer as insistently friendly. Sigh. "......about your catalytic converter...." That's a no.

Hey, gorgeous, what's a fine specimen like you doing here? You should come to my place.

He was standing behind me and I was perspiring, (have double sweat gland stimulators in my spine, I have my own eco system inside my clothing)
He said "may I do something for you?"

I said "yes, please get me three napkins from the bar"

he comes back and hands me two.

I said "I asked for three napkins, you have given me two"

he looks down to hide his smile and says "yes, what may I do for you"

I said "get me the third napkin"

He did and we lived together for 4 1/2 years. We never discussed who was the 'decider'.

"We should talk. What's your phone number?"

If she gives you it, awesome.

If she says no...

"Haha, I can't believe you thought I was serious." Then walk away.

I can understand that you might have been irritated by her response, but why only give her one chance? I have often given my phone number to a guy that was gracious when I put him off.

no dred. . just sayin'

Merle

Read his thread, and you'll see that that's the
kind of guy he is.

yeah, I can't believe how many guys are just like him, too.

So when you don't get what you want, lies and manipulation is the path you take?

I would never give my phone number to just some random guy. Good luck with that!
How about, "That's a nice shirt" or "You have a beautiful laugh" or "What's your dog's name?"

Okay, you guys are forgetting a couple of things:

1. I am awesome.
2. I am good looking.

Basically, if a girl doesn't give me her phone number, then I don't want it. It basically tells me I'm too good for her.

Hardly any. That's why I've been on more dates than people twice my age.

OK, picture the scene. An open day at a local university and I'm in a queue to get into the optics lab. There's a pretty girl behind me and my chatup line was..........

Wait for it...............

Are you here to see the lasers?

We were together for three months after that Summer day then we drifted apart.

In other words there are NO decent chatup lines, you just need to be yourself.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I never liked obviously fake chat up lines anyway. If a guy came up to me and said "we should take - could I have your phone number", I would be too shocked to say much at all. I'd also think why couldn't we talk now - why wait for later.

But you know what is really annoying - it's having a good date with a person and then they say "I'll call you" but they never do. If it was a rotten date, it wouldn't matter but why would you get along so well and then they change their mind. It seems crazy.

Ease up dude. This is actually a very cool technique, nothing evil.

Well, it is face saving and eases the sting of rejection.
