BEST pick-up lines?

I'll start with the one that Dave got me with!

"Have you ever had Sambuca? It is an Italian liquor, tastes like lickerish. I believe I saw a bottle behind the bar... Bartender? Two Sambuca's on ice please? My name is Dave, how are you?

he used it one me on the night I was setting there at my favorite Bar, stood up on a date.

The way he said it, so everyday "Hi, how you doing?" way. Keep me from throwing a drink at him like I would have done, ready to do, if he use a corny pick up line.

And believe me, I threw many a drink in my time.

books piled everywhere on the table. Good looking guy pulls out the chair opposite mine, reads the titles of the books on the table and says...,"It's much too beautiful outside for someone as lovely as you to be inside. If you'll come for a walk with me, I'll tell you everything you need to know about the subject." His smile was gorgeous. So I did, he did and we were together for quite a while...

Turns out he had taken the course the previous semester! One of the few pick up lines that ever captured my interest!

some bozo has probably said this .

I played music ( dreck ) in a dating bar and breaks were spent listening to come on lines that were so weak we would laugh for hours .

But he did not ask, he just bought. With way he said it, how smooth it was done...
He did it in a way to not let me not hear him out. Glad he did!

pick up lines really freak me out because I'm so bad at coming on to people that I would usually start laughing about lines I had heard .

The gentleman in question saw her studying, had taken the class before, probably saw she was in there for a while and could use a break, gave a simple complement and ...


In my case, Dave got a warning about what was going on from my regular bartender, he used something very average conversion like and he also went strait into a conversation about why he was in the area and how much it changed since he was there for a visit. He took my mind off why I was there and the guy I was waiting for.

It is all in the situation. Sometimes using a corny line to break the ice works. All in the time and place!

It can be a memorable and intoxication to the senses as any clever line. The circumstances, the way it is said...

23. I have so little game

I couldn't pick up a date in a women's prison with a fistful of weekend passes.

Whatever small amount of luck I've had with women has been due to getting to know them, remembering things that are important to them (one of the good things about having the memory of an elephant) and going from there. Using pick up lines would probably just get me smacked.

One I know that worked on a friend of mine:

It was her second time training with us and she got to the site a little early, where a couple of people were already warming up. She asked where she could change and the guy who responded first went with this "There's a bathroom downstairs or you can just change right here, I don't mind."

I'm pretty sure if I ever said something like that, I'd have the police called on me, but it worked as they are still in a relationship several years later.

hence it is a 'pick up line' and eventually I get dinner.


For extra nookie the best line I have had is "honey I got paid on some sales here's some extra money why don't you go shopping?"



This is what happens after 30 years.

At a party decades ago, casual chatting with a gang of people I hardly knew.

As the evening slowed down -

I asked this one girl (I was quite hammered at that point, would never have had the nerve normally) who I'd never met before

"How about we go get naked?"

Melissa responded - "yeah - let's go!"

We ended up living together on and off for the next 2 years.

miss her.

But that line still works for me!
