Great & not-so-great pick-up lines
Published: Saturday | August 15, 2009
Dating? Here's some advice on getting serious from the book 'How to Survive Dating' (Hundreds of Heads Books, www.hundredsofheads.com), straight from people who've done it.One time I borrowed by brother's Mustang convertible and went through the bank drive-through window where this pretty teller worked. I didn't even have an account with this bank but when she asked me what transaction I would like to make, I said I would like to make a withdrawal and deposit. I would like to withdraw her from her office and deposit her at the movie theatre with me. It worked! The best pick-up line I use involves a watch. I have this big, blue watch I wear out to the bars and when I start talking to a girl she usually comments on my watch. I tell her it's magic and she asks, "How's it magic?" And I say that it can tell what colour underwear she's wearing, which usually prompts her to say, "Oh yeah ... what colour are they?" And I reply, "You aren't wearing any." And she usually smiles and says, "Yes, I am." Then, I tap my watch, put it to my ear, and say, "Damn, it must be an hour fast." Don't be shy. Introduce yourself. If I see a girl across the bar, I don't know what I'm going to say. I walk over and start off with a simple, "Hi, how are you? My name is so-and-so." The most effective line I ever used was the most honest one: "You have the most beautiful smile, and I really wanted to meet you." Hundreds of Heads Books' survival guides offer the wisdom of the masses by assembling the experiences and advice of hundreds of people who have gone through life's biggest challenges and have insight to share.
