What's the best/most creative pick up line that's ever been used on you?

I was at the Copa in NYC. It was salsa night. For those of you who have never been to the Copa - think 1940s dance hall with a band. I had on a red dress, you know the perfect for dancing kind and it was one of those nights where I felt I looked great. Unfortunately, I was getting bummed because it seemed no one was noticing me, but I kept my smile up and had fun. Then out of nowhere this sexy man in a suit came up to me, took my hand and said, "You look stunning, would you dance with me?" I don't think I even answered but he led me to the dance floor and we danced and danced. At the end of the night he walked me home and we kissed under the corner streetlight. It was one of those hot, sweet summer nights and I literally floated up to my apartment. We dated a few times after that, and although no serious relationship stemmed from it, it will always be one of my favorite memories.

ha! You know I don't think I've ever had a pick up line used on me. Seriously. I've had guys try to pick me up in bars or whatever, but they never used "lines". Or they were so bad I forgot them. ;)

James always loves to tell me all the really cheezy pick up lines him and his friends used (successfully I might add which does not speak highly of the girls) when he was younger.

You know the ones.
Like, "I know what your father does for a living." "What?" "He must be a thief because he stole the twinkle from the stars and put it in your eyes."

I swear, he says they worked. Scary!

I can say with some certainty, that I've never had a pick-up line used on me.

Ah, nothing makes me giggle more than a good, cheesey, sappy pick up line!

I DID have one guy ask me the "are you tired?" "No, why?" "Because you've been running through my dreams all of my life!" LOL! I laughed so hard I snorted my drink out of my nose.

Most of the pick up lines are pretty darn standard, though.

Come here often?
Have I seen you before?
Don't I know you?
Can I buy you a drink?
My friend and I think you are hot.

And the worst, ever - was said while staring directly at my chest "are those real?"

Brian, I'm so SORRY!~~ Obviously we've never met.


I've been in a "flirt with them all, make no promises" mood this week...a couple of the lines I've used.

I've had a few and I think it's cute if they do it right. One guy actually last summer at a karaoke bar ( I dated him for a while after that) bought roses from a rose guy and started singing to me "you've lost that loving feeling". Yeah, know TOP GUN? I was so embarrassed but BOY O BOY he was so gorgeous he was awesome! He was the reason I stopped dating. He made me realize I really wanted to find a relationship (just he wasn't the one I wanted; WAY TO YOUNG, I was 32 he 21), but the time with him, made me realize I wanted that with someone else that was in my age class and I would wait to date until I found someone I thought would be like that. Not settle. Be still my beating heart. LOL. Ok, enough of that! :-)

You know, Candi, I have been beating my brain since yesterday trying to find you an answer to this. I think my mind was drawing a blank until this morning. But now I have two:

A recent one, when I was walking in this really swank nightclub here, was an older guy that touched my arm, and said, "is there a dance floor in this place?" (okay and he was about 20 feet from it!!) and I said, "I have no idea" because I did not find him to be attractive AT ALL. To that one he said, "I will pay you $100 if you find it and come back and tell me!!"

BUT my most hilarious moment was also one of the most unexpected. I was shopping in this home decorating mega store (picture 3X size of Walmart with cheaper prices!!) with my son. We had our basket FULL of all kinds of stuff plus a very large tree.

Okay - so picture a shopping cart with a 5' silk tree in it and a 5 year old pushing it - INSISTING on pushing it for his mom - and pushing it into a whole aisle of crystal-cut glassware because he can't see where he is going. We are out of control. I am freaking out but trying to be patient with DS. AND this guy comes up to me - and says I am the most beautiful woman he has ever seen and he is very attracted to me - how can he see me again? Can he have my phone number? Or just know what bars I go so he can see me again and talk to me?

I am still taken aback with that memory - I looked like the mom from he11. I don't know how he found me attractive. And he had some nerve to say all that in front of my 5 year old son!! I sure wasn't going to give him my number!! I think that was a lesson for my son on how we don't talk to strangers!!

That's very creepy about the mega decorating store guy. My spidey sense would have been telling me he's a potential rapist. Follow mom out to the car who is juggling a 5-yr-old and tons of merchandise. I get super paranoid like that.

For sure, that guy was more than a little touched in the head.

The only one I can certainly remember is when I was 17 yo and I got into a club with a fake ID.
