Can anyone help with a "pick up" line?

[Sandy]

Writer's groups are so cruel. In my novel, I had my female forensic psychologist approached by a male detective who said "do I know you from somewhere?" Everyone in my group thought this line was outdated.

This character (the male detective), while not a bad guy, is macho and obnoxious. He reappears later in the story and interferes with the investigation that is being led by another detective.

Can anyone help me come up with a better pick up line?

The funny thing is, I've been hit on 3 times in the past few years with variations of "do I know you from somewhere." Go figure!

[Mitzi]

You could do what Dustin Hoffman did in "Tootsie". When he was dressed as a woman, Jessica Lange says, "Wouldn't it be a breath of fresh air if a man came up to you and said, (something to this effect) "You know, I could give you a real line but the fact is I find you incredibly attractive and would like to go to bed with you."
So, when he's at a party, as the man he is, he sees her and goes up and says that and she throws a drink in his face! LOL! Yep, that's us women! http://www.officer.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Traffic Dog]

"Baby, you have no idea what I can do with strawberries and whip cream."
Surprisingly that one did work.

[Bob A]

Only "line" I ever used I improvised at a nice restaurant having dinner with some friends. Our waitress was very attractive, and I wanted to hit on her, but did not want to get shot down in front of my buds. She noticed me watching and when she smiled, I told her: "I'd love to hit on you, but I can't think of a think you probably haven't heard ten times already today." When she brought my beer, she'd written a phone number on the napkin. Once, in a row, something went my way.

I can tell you the WORST pick- up line i've ever had. At a bar, this guy lurches over drunkenly and says: "Is that Windex on your pants? 'cos i can really see myself in them!" http://www.officer.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif http://www.officer.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

[GDenman]

Maybe I'm just not very creative but I think the line was okay. The man is a detective & meets hundreds of people. He can't remember them all but yet maybe remembers having seen them somewhere & just can't put a name to them. By saying what he did, he leaves a face-saving out as to why he said it. Seems reasonable to me.

[kateykakes]

I was at a pub one night w/some friends and had a guy come up and say, "I'm new in town, could I have directions to your house?". Geez, what is it w/some men! http://www.officer.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

"There's no place like home."

GDenneyman... I completely agree. Guess that makes us both really out of date. http://www.officer.com/ubb/wink.gif

blondie... http://www.officer.com/ubb/eek.gif what was your reply?

[blondie72]

I had to laugh...then i had to politely tell him to please leave me alone http://www.officer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Ken]

This pick up line got me slapped 9 out of the 10 times I used it, however that one time made it all worth it.

Hey Baby...you want to get some pizza and (the four letter word that starts with "F" and rhymes with Duck)?

When they look at me like I have lost my mind I reply...

"What you don't like pizza?"

[streetwalker]

Two pickup lines that always worked for me were: "Wanna go fool around?" and "Do you believe in the hereafter? Then you know what I'm here after" My husband (at the time) NEVER turned my down http://www.officer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

-------------------------------------------

Sandy,
It depends on the setting. If they are in the psychologist's office or at the police station that line would fit.

Otherwise use, "Hey, how you doin"?

[Rule.303]

On a more serious note....

"hey didn't we go to different schools together....?"

The other is to start up a conversation as though you already know the person, then suddenly realise that you are mistaken and thought they were somebody else, followed through with decent conversation after that ice-breaker.

Aw come on Sandy, I'm sure that YOU have heard PLENTY of pick up lines? Surely you haven't forgotten them all have you??? http://www.officer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.officer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hey you could always go to the local bar and see what pickup lines you will get! Not only that, since it is research for your book wouldn't your expenses be tax deductible? Hmmm I think I'll start writing myself! http://www.officer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Don,

I don't spend much time in bars, so I've probably missed the crude ones, but come to think of it, people of the male persuasion have started up conversations with me. Maybe I have to be hit over the head with something as unsubtle as "don't I know you from somewhere" to recognize it as a line! Duh!

[Sandy]

Oh my god, Glock, some of those are terrible! http://www.officer.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Kinda chessy, but here it goes...

Here's another little twist that split the men and women in my group down the middle--

The psychologist is sitting in an armchair in the area outside a hotel conference room where a presentation is going on. She's writing in a steno pad. The detective assumes she's a news reporter and says he can introduce her to people, etc. He stands directly in front of her, in her personal space, then, when a brochure falls out of her notebook, reaches over to grab it--his fingers "accidentally" touch her skirt. He gives the brochure back, then rests one hand on the armrest of the chair and leans over her, talking to her from that position.

The men in my group thought this would never happen, that no guy would do this. The women all said "wanna bet?"

Any weird and wonderful experiences with this behavior?

[blondie72]

It has been my experience that both men and women display different comfort levels with physical contact on an individual basis. I have been approached by men who have, upon first contact, touched my hair or my shoulder. I have buxom female friends who will 'accidentally bump' a male's elbow to gain attention.

Within our circle of friends, i have two close female friends. One will play with my hair and lay her head on my shoulder, the other will not. I am close with both of them. I have three close male friends, two of whom regularly put their arm around me, or grab me by the wrist to pull me back, or put their leg on a stool to block my path. The other has to have several pints down him, before i even get a hug goodbye (or hello!). I am equally close with all of them.

Everyone has their own reasons for whatever level of comfort they have with physical contact, i guess. I think your scenario is realistic.

Yeah, but do you think you'll be able to pick me out at Daniel Faulkner's benefit concert in March? LOL

1. Gee, from across the room, your boobs look like they're the same size!
2. In this light, your moustache is the same color as your eyebrows!
3. You remind me of my grandmother; she's dead, too!
4. Got any fries to go with that shake?

Of course, this usually results in a blow to the head with a heavy purse, a drink thrown in your face, of a high heel up your backside, but oh is it fun!

Sorry; couldn't resist. "the Devil made me do it!"(In memory of Flip Wilson).

[Sandy]

I must've sent some vibes out into the universe when I asked this question--I stopped at the grocery store this morning on my way home from playing tennis (short skirt, barelegs). Some guy in the deli line said, "were you playing tennis or do you always go around looking this cute?"

Not a bad line, if you ask me. How could I take offence wtih that? Unless . . . it wasn't you Don, was it? Trying to have some fun at my expense?????

I agree with Slate. A simple "How you doin'?", said just like Joey does on Friends, and you are a certainty.

Or From Austin Powers 2:- Those pants look skin tight baby, how do you get into them?"

But I'm too old (39) to get away with these, and married with three kids. Women would think (correctly) that I'm a dirty old man

What a riot! And to think, these lines (and millions of others) actually do get spoken. If only the boys and girls sitting against the walls at the junior high dances could know how much fun it is to be a grown-up...

When I was young and silly I went to see the Chippendale strippers when they visited Australia. At the time I was a journalist for a newspaper and had free tickets so I dragged a friend.

After the show a few of the strippers/dancers were up on the stage and I walked past them on the floor in front of the stage. One of them looked down and I had a low cut top and jacket on and his line to me was: "Whooowww, nice big titties!"

Needless to say I blushed, giggled and ran away to tell my friend!! To this day I still can't believe how corny and pathetic it was. And thanked god I wasn't stupid enough to have fallen for the line and done something silly!!

I'm amazed at some of the lines people come up with. I think people would prefer silly/funny and suggestive lines rather than ones like "pizza and F**k". That to me is just sleazy and not funny. I'd rather have some 'fun' and a great laugh than some lech all over me!!

Thankfully I found my love - and no pick-up lines were even used.

Keep smilin'

Hey all

Havent been on for a while and gezzzz look at what all I've missed. Oh well as bad as it sounds I've had other things to do, like skiing,working,and gambling.

Ok now onto the pick up lines. One that I used to use was... Hi can I have this dance with you maam?. once on the floor for a couple of songs. You know there are some attractive girls here tonight but it takes true beauty to be such a lady,thank you for dancing with me. Yes most of the time my dance card stayed full.

Now my cusin took the direct approach. Hello my name is **** and I would like to save you time and me some money would you like to go back to my place and #$%^ or do I owe you an apology?

Believe it or not his worked more often than mine. However I tended to get introduced to friends of theirs if they weren't available. STILL had a full dance card.

Now My dance card is gone cause I have someone to dance with me all my life.

Best wishes Best luck Poacher.

Sorry I have to say something due to me being Irish.

The line goes like this:

YOU: Excuse me but do you have any Irish in you?

YOU: Would you like some?

Man walks over to a cutie in a club and whispers to her...

From the moment you entered the room I had to remind myself to breath. I just had the urge to tell you how beautiful your smile is. (and simply walk away) If she is interested in you she will approach you.

If this doesnt work tell her...

I've been shot down by every girl here. Would you please dance with me?

[goodgirl]

I wouldn't suggest this line Wannabecopper:

"I've been shot down by every girl here. Would you please dance with me?"

Kind of makes the woman wonder what the other women know that she doesn't at the same time that it lets her know that she was your last choice http://www.officer.com/ubb/tongue.gif

I was never one to hang out in pick up bars much. If I went to a bar it was to DRINK...but that's another story.

But, the best routine I ever found to just "pick up" women was suggested by a friend who urged me to borrow his wedding ring. No line..just wear a wedding ring and go sit at our local sports bar on a friday night.

I was incredulous but he convinced me that I had nothing to lose and I tried it with his wifes permission.

Sure enough, I'd go sit at the bar and drink ale and watch the tube and women would come up and talk to me. No cheesey lines, at first i wrote it off to them being friendly an me being approachable just sitting there, but after a few weekends, I really did notice that more women seemed more interested. A few times after getting chummy, I told them that I was married....

scarrily enough, none of them seemed to mind.

anyway, the best trick to picking up women I ever found was wearing my friends wdding ring.

Speaking of girls using pick up lines on guys, here's a couple that were used on me last summer:

"I forgot my teddy bear, will you sleep with me?"

Her: Are you from Tennessee?

Me: No, I'm from Georgia. What makes you think I'm from Tennessee?

Her: Because you're the only ten I see!!!

"Do you have a library card? 'Cause I gotta check you out!!"

Ok, I know that that last one was really corny but the girl that used it on me was hot as fire!!! http://www.officer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.officer.com/ubb/eek.gif http://www.officer.com/ubb/wink.gif
