Pick up Lines





Anybody have any personal stories of bad pick up lines? One of mine is when I was in college, I was driving through Wendy's drive-thru one evening. The guy opened the window and took my money. when he popped his head out again he said, "I get off at 10:00. You wanna come back and pick me up?" Can you believe it? I said, 'No thanks. Can I have my food?" .

Pick up lines eh? I have a few that I have tried...which is why I am thankful for faith-based marriage because I did not get to use any on Bekah. But here we go:
-You dad must be a thief...because he stole the stars from heaven and put them in your eyes.
-Are your legs tired? Because you have been running through my mind all day long.
-If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put "U" next to "I"
And finally...if you were a booger, I would pick you first.

My personal favorite is: You remind of a parking ticket...you got fine written all over you!

Unfortunately on a personal level, I get rejected by girls so fast I don't even get time to use a pickup line or even say hello.

The worst was from Ethne's *married* ENT doctor when I was pregnant with Catie: "It must be so hard to be a single mother and pregnant." I guess he was hoping I'd be touched by his concern and fall into his arms or something. This is exactly the reason I wish we wore wedding rings.

And yes, I'm sure it was a pick-up line. He tried to flirt with me every time we came in, and it creeped me out.

We have a "carnival" in our home town every summer. I went into a local gas station during this time and a "carny" (who was probably 50, I was 16) asked me to buy him coffe and then asked if I would like to see his trailer?!? Yikes!! I have never been so glad to know my father was waiting in the car!

That is too funny. Oh the salvation army bell ringer at Kroger's, hit on me, when I was like 8 months

well, just the other day at the gym, i was in a workout class and a guy stayed after to talk to me...he wanted to work out together. he was telling me how much he could bench press...knowing nothing about bench pressing, i wasn't impressed in the least. especially 'cause he was married. he said he'll keep an eye out for me from now on and he wouldn't mind spotting me if i need him to and that we could be work out partners. i was like, 'what is this guy talking about?!' maybe this is some gym etiquette that i don't know about...matt told me later that even if it is gym etiquette, it doesn't mean i have to do it. i was relieved to hear it. :)

I think the strangest I have encountered was an older African American gentlemen asking me on the subway what sign I was? I wasn't exactly sure what he was referring to, and answered suspiciously.......Libra?! He said, oh you look like my daughter and I thought maybe you were the same sign she was! I just sat there like what?! None a bit of this seems to make sense. Why would looking someone qualify you as having the same sign, and how would I look like his daughter? I was very confused but later realized he was probably trying to make conversation and then got tripped when I didn't seem very responsive because his friend that was with him on the subway was making fun of him as we were getting off.

Happy BIrthday to you!!!!
I haven't gotten many pick up lines in my day...The only one I remember was a guy in Kroger telling me that he couldn't live with himself if he did tell me I was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. I just said thanks and walked away.

Whoa Rebekah...Klint got hit on at Wendy's too!! Unfortunately it was a guy who was interested. Klint kindly told him, "no thanks" and that he was spending the evening with his wife! Hard to believe in small-town Bluffton!
