When I was an edgy and cynical generic college liberal, I once said “Hello. How would you like to join me for a predictable ‘eat or drink something’ ritual that implies politely that I am sexually attracted to you?” very-intelligent
It worked for a brief relationship, but still. Not exactly strong foundations were laid with that. cringe
In high school, I dm’d a guy in my class “you’re handsome bro”
His response was something like, “you too man I appreciate it!”
We both assumed each other were straight after that, but like a week before graduation, he randomly tells me he had a crush on me. And when I tell him I felt the same, he was like “damn I assumed that DM was probably only a compliment”
So yes, I was in a cinema and told a girl to stfu. Next day she saw me in a bar, recognized me and was like: “fuck that, you told me to stfu. It was you.” We dated for a month or so.
Naw, I think this is better. I’ve seen the “… and worked” version of this question lots of times, but I want the actual bottom of the barrel this time.
Don’t get me wrong; “… and worked” still yields funny answers every time, but this is more interesting to me.
Not a line per say but my friend and I were shooting pool against 2 dudes randomly. One serenaded us with Bruno Mars “Just the Way You Are.” A short while after he randomly proceeded to guess both of our weights very incorrectly. lol I guess we made him a nervous.
Not a pick up line but- “I don’t think I can do better than you and I know you can’t do better than me, so I guess we should just get married.” She sighed and said “yeah, you’re probably right”.
I dont wanna shit on you, but the “I cant do better than you” is sweet and I used it with my BF, but the “You can’t do better than me” is many times used by abusive partners as a way to diminish their self-esteem and make sure that they dont leave them, because they really think they cant do better than their current abusive partner.
I believe you said it with the best intentions, but is something that people does.
Yeah, I hear you but context is important. She’s good and safe, so am I. We have 2 kids together, been together for 20 years, have ducks, a rabbit, share all expenses and income exactly 50/50 and have had each others back through the worst of other people.
I once tried the most cliche of them all - did it hurt when you fell from heaven. She actually found it funny. In the sense that it’s so stupid that it flips around and becomes funny. Nothing ever came of it but we had a nice chat on the otherwise empty train.
imo the purpose of those cheesy lines is more to break the ice and get your prospective partner to laugh and loosen up rather than to swoon them, sounds like it worked to me.
