Everybody Has Thrown Them Out There. What Are The Best/Worst You Have Ever Heard?
Ok. So now I have your attention because of the title of this posting. You need to read on because you have NO idea of what this blog is about. Well let me see if this gives you a hint:
- "You look familiar. Come on! How do I know you?? Ahhh! That’s right! You were in my dreams!"
- "Did it hurt?? When you fell from heaven?"
So now you have a little more information. This posting is about pick up lines. Yes as a teen we probably all used them, but few of us will admit it — or will we?
I will let you in on a little secret (AB and GS know this because they grew up with me and lived it). When I was in high school I was awkward, hadn’t come into my own and was geeky for sure. Yes I had trouble talking with girls. I think my big line was "Excuse me do you have the time?" or we would be at Cape Cod tossing around a ball at the water’s edge and of course toss the ball over each other’s head next to a girl we hoped to meet. Ok I said it, you know too much and you probably respect me less.
Here are a few more lines that you might have used or heard in the past:
- "Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk past again."
- "Are you tired? Tired of what? Because you’ve been running through my mind all day!"
- "Was your father a mechanic? Then how did you get such a finely tuned body?"
- "Were you in Boy Scouts? Because you sure have tied my heart in a knot."
- "You are the reason men fall in love."
And even a few more that you might have used or heard along the way!
- "I’ve had quite a bit to drink, and you’re beginning to look pretty good.
- "Can I buy the drink or do you just want the money?"
- "Didn’t I see you on the cover of Vogue?"
- "What’s your sign?"
- "Where have you been all my life?"
One of the funniest lines ever heard was from a friend of mine, BM. I was in a bar in Philadelphia in 1995 with my friend when all of a sudden this attractive woman comes up to him (not me - he is much better looking than I am) and says I need to make a call do you have a dime I could borrow. Without hesitation he says, "Here are two." She looks at him a little strange and he says, "Here is my number. Please call me and leave me a nice message with your phone number!" To me it was a classic. And of course it worked!
- What are the best pick up lines you have heard?
- What is the worst line you ever heard?
- And what about the funniest?
I look forward to reading your comments.

I think this is the worst one I’ve heard…A guy came up to me at a bar and said “My friend and I were debating on what type of flowers are printed on your shirt. Whoever is correct gets to dance with you”. At that moment, my date came back and made them go away!! I have to admit it was original - I had never heard that one before nor did I ever hear that one again.

“My friend wants to meet you but he is really shy so he sent me over here to see if you were interested in meeting someone new.” Of course, he didn’t have a friend; he was scoping things out for himself.

Randy,
I must admit I had never heard that one before. Thanks for your comments.

Betsy,
I think I can recall being at Cape Cod during a few happy hours with some friends who probably used that line both ways - they actually did try it and had a friend across the bar - don’t laugh - I think it worked!
Thanks for your comments.

This is great. I was never a big fan of using them, but I done so simply as a joke in the past (when I was single, for all you dirty-minded bloggers)! Actually, I had a friend who used to use this one, ALOT:
“Wanna go back to me place for some Pizza and sex? WHAT - YOU DON’T LIKE PIZZA?”
I’m sure it didn’t hurt that this guy was 6′2″ and very good looking, but still - that always cracked me up. Another one he used to use a little less frequently was “I really like what you’re wearing - that outfit would look great at the foot of my bed.”

I wonder if anyone here has ever tried this one:
“Excuse me, I work for a market research company and we have conducted a survey. 80% of the men in this bar chose you as the most attractive woman this evening.”
Or…
“Excuse me, I work for a market research company and we are taking a survey. Of all the men in this bar, who do you find to be the most interesting?”
I wonder if either of these would actually work?

One that my roommate used. (I don’t think he ever got lucky with it though…)
If I told you you had a great body, would you hold it against me?

Like you Merrill, I had no game, but in college, my South African tennis teammates saw pickup lines as an art form. With the accent, they were deadly in the bars. Here are some of the ones I remembered:
“Are you tired? You have been racing through my mind all night”
“I wish I had invented the alphabet, cause I would have put U and I next to each other”
and my personal favorite for purely comedic reason…..
“I have a different girlfriend for 6 of the 7 days of the week. Would you like to be my Tuesday?” when the girl gave a disgusted look and said no, the guy would look shocked and say “Damn, why am I having such a tough time filling Tuesday?”

Steve,
I wish I had you as a wingman growing up - with those first two lines I think I would have done much better than I did.
The last one I never would have used but I can see some of my buddies in college trying that one.
Thanks for your comments.
