Worst dating lines..ever!
TV ClubHouse: Archive: Worst dating lines..ever!
Pamy | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 02:07 pm     I just saw this on MSN, I figured we all could come up with better ones than these! 1. "What's your sign?" The epitome of cheese, this line, which has been around since the Beatles came to America, ranks as the very worst line in dating history. The fact that it's still in use says a lot about the decay of our society's standards and the glaring desperation of some singles. 2. "Pardon me, I seem to have lost my phone number, can I borrow yours?" Maybe this was funny around 1910 or 1915 — back when the telephone was a novel appliance. It does not inspire smiles now, only scared and doomed looks. 3. "You must be a broom because you're sweeping me off my feet." Maybe your dad used this one on your mom and for nostalgia's sake, you're bringing it out again. Nostalgia does not get you dates, only pity. "I actually had a guy say this to me during happy hour," says Kim, a vivacious flight attendant who gets her share of pick-up lines. "I didn't hold it against him because I don't know how much he'd had to drink and he was cute. But if he hadn't been cute, I would have dodged him." 4. "Do you have a licence? Because you're driving me crazy." Caution! Watching too many stupid teen movies impairs your judgement. This probably sounded clever to the person who swiped it from an Annette and Frankie beach party flick. 5. "I gotta thirst and baby, you look like my Gatorade." Generally, comparing potential dates to food or drinks is not a winning move. " I had a guy use this one on me and I rolled my eyes and walked way," says Susan, a marketing representative who doesn't usually go for lines. "But a couple of weeks later, I saw this hot guy at the gym and I used that same line and it worked! I guess there are gender preferences when it comes to lines. He was really flattered, where I was insulted when it was used on me." 6. "Are you lost? Because heaven's a long way from here." Maybe angels like this one, real women don't. 7. "Are you religious? Because you're the answer to all my prayers." Prayer is something that anyone who uses this tacky line desperately needs. 8. "Can I take your picture? I want Santa to know exactly what I want for Christmas." This line is popular with both men and women who think references to Santa are cute and charming, which are qualities that they never possess personally. 9. "Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?" "A stunning woman I had been staring at used this on me," says Mark, a tawny-haired, gregarious copywriter. "I know it's an old one but it took guts to say it. I'm afraid I happily fell for it." 10. "Well, here I am. What are your other two wishes?" A personal favorite, this one takes a certain amount of arrogance as well as delusion, to pull off. |
Sweetbabygirl | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 02:22 pm     A former worker asked me if I liked apples....when I asked why, he responded by saying "'Cause you're Veryfine!" I LMAO at that one, and busted his chops about it from then on. |
Moderator | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 02:33 pm     "Hey baby, I'm a TVCH Moderator!" Mod (22) |
Texannie | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 02:45 pm     That would work on me! ;) |
Tishala | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 02:46 pm     "You must have a mirror on your legs, cause I can see myself in your pants". Yeah. Whatever. |
Pamy | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 02:54 pm     LOL Mod22!! |
Admin | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 03:03 pm     Standing in line at McDonald's--> I'd like to McMeet you. |
Trishan | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 03:18 pm     As a freshman in HS, a junior asked me for my autograph, I replied: "I'm not a movie star" & kept on walking--his friends laughed at him & from then on I avoided that guy like the plague  |
Mware | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 03:28 pm     "If I told you that you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" |
Wendo | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 03:35 pm     Oh man, can't believe I'm going to admit to this... In college, he said to me, "Baby, I'm going to give you the ride of your life!" Still makes me cringe to this day. |
Texannie | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 03:39 pm     It should only make you cringe, if you fell for it! ;) |
Wendo | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 03:44 pm     LOL! I take the fifth.  |
Pamy | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 03:51 pm     Admin, did you use that line? or did someone use it on you? MCLOL |
Squaredsc | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 05:12 pm     well i like #9 and #10. |
Jbean | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 05:44 pm     "I see you forgot your cowboy hat, too"...whatever |
Tabbyking | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 06:47 pm     i love the bellamy brothers', "If i said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?" so mware and i both know that one...i happen to like it, in the song, anyway!...i used it on a guy once; we were already dating-- and at first he said, 'no' and then he got it, and started laughing. |
Tabbyking | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 06:50 pm     "if you were a booger, i'd pick you first". |
Eliz87 | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 07:41 pm     Tabby, ewwww!!! LOLOL Seriously, someone once asked me where I had been all of his life (yes, obviously he was three sheets to the wind haha). Well, being the sharp and witty person that I am, I could of course think of absolutely no retort. |
Tabbyking | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 07:44 pm     eliz, when someone asked where i had been all his life, i said, "in bed. where were you?" and the entire bar erupted in laughter. that was probably 1978 or so |
Eliz87 | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 07:52 pm     LOL Oh, and one other time, someone approached me and said, "Hi. Wanna make love?" I obviously hung in some real classy places. haha |
Melfie1222 | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 08:06 pm     Once in a bar (of course) this guy and I had been sort of flirting, all in fun... until I found out he was there with his buddies for his bachelor party and was getting married in two days. He actually came right out and told me this, and then had the nerve to ask me to "meet" him later that night... he said something along the lines of "You wouldn't deprive a man on death row of his final meal, would you?" Yikes! |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 10:14 pm     man: "Did it hurt?" woman: "Did what hurt?" man replies: "When you fell out of heaven." |
Jed245 | Sunday, November 23, 2003 - 02:01 pm     uhh do you like t.v.? (A friend of mine asked a girl that once.) They are married now so apparently she liked t.v. Who knew? :o) |
Texannie | Sunday, November 23, 2003 - 02:04 pm     Do you like brocolli? |
Hippyt | Sunday, November 23, 2003 - 02:45 pm     ROFL Texannie! |
Landi | Sunday, November 23, 2003 - 04:02 pm     my husband used this...AND IT WORKED. "You look like you need a good meal, i'll be glad to cook for you" gawd... i wasn't anorexic by any means!! |
Squaredsc | Sunday, November 23, 2003 - 04:05 pm     oh that would get me landi, im very easy when it comes to food. |
Midlifer | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 09:54 am     ok, you guys are cracking me up!!!!! Here's the line my hubby (we've been married for 29 years, so obviously it worked) said to me, "Would you like to come up to my room and see my clavichord (sort of a cross between piano and harpsichord)...." My response always was, "Yeah, right. Do I look like I was born yesterday?" Wouldn't you know it...he had one in his room!!! (He and his dad built it when he was a boy.) |
March | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 10:49 am     OMG Tabbyking I can't believe the booger one. I am still laughing. Years ago a friend of mine actually had a guy who was leaving the next day for an away baseball tournament, tried to get her to sleep with him by telling her that it would bring him good luck so they would win. She was still laughing when she got back to our table to tell me. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 11:05 am     LOL March! If that ever happens again, just have your friend inform the guy "Actually studies have shown that men NOT having any sexual release helps them perform better in the game, as a build up of testosterone makes men more focused in sports, so by me NOT sleeping with you, I will be bringing you luck" I had one guy come up to me all Rico Suave and flash me a smile, winked and did this little snap point while saying "I choose you". I asked him "choose me for what?" he said "to be my girl"..I said, "Oh good, give me $500..it'll cost you for me to be yours". <sigh> he left. |
Djgirl | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 01:00 pm     Let's try this again! Zmom -  |
Mak1 | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 02:31 pm     "Did you get that line from one of your movies, Zmom?", Mak innocently asked.  |
