In a previous post (CLICK HERE) I said that an opening chat up line I used when I was young and dating pretty ladies was, "Have you got a criminal record?"
I was joking, of course, but unfortunately some of my readers took me seriously and thought that I deserved the slap in the face I received from at least one young lady.
The thing is, being serious now, it is very difficult for young men, especially shy ones like me, to say something nice that will not be taken as either too soppy, too cheesy and gooey or just plain stupid.
In my time I have heard many an opening chat up line used at parties and in pubs or at work even. Lines like:
"Heaven must be missing an Angel ... and it's you."
"Do you come here often ... 'cos the place seems brighter today."
"Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears!"
"If I were a cat I'd spend all 9 lives with you."
"Please call 9-1-1, because you just made my heart stop!"
"Will you marry me? Do you have any money? Answer the second question first." (Groucho Marx)
"Marry me and I’ll never look at another horse!" (Groucho Marx)
"Did you pick your nose, or were you born like that?" (used by me - unsuccessfully)
"Did you just fall from Heaven, on your face?" (also used by me, also unsuccessfully)
So ... tell us friends. What is your favourite chat up line and did it work for you?
It may be better to just be your sincere self Victor!
ReplyDeleteI am ... very sincere.
DeleteGod bless.
That is an easy one to remember Victor even though I only used it one time..."You remind me of someone I'd like to know, my future husband." We are now married for almost 48 years.
ReplyDeleteGee Romeo...I cannot imagine why your chat up lines didn't work :}
Blessings
What a wonderful chat up line, Jan. Brilliant. Wishing you great happiness with your husband.
DeleteI always thought, at the time, my chat up lines were good.
God bless you both.
good one from Jan!
DeleteAgreed.
DeleteGod bless you, Christine.
These are hysterical, Victor! I know guys use chat up lines much more than gals, so I don't have any of my own to share with you. Whatever I could come up with probably wouldn't work anyway. Lol!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I've tried so many chat up lines in my time, Martha. None worked. Except looking pitiful.
DeleteGod bless.
I asked Joe to dance. Here we are, 35 years later!
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful, Terri.
DeleteGod bless you both.
Never used a chat line, we just clicked and here we are 38 years later.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Bill. Wonderful. Sometimes no words are needed.
DeleteGod bless you both.
A nice smile and a sincere 'how are you?' would carry a lot of weight with me. Then again, it's been a LONG time.
ReplyDeleteSincerity works, Mevely. Best wishes to you both.
DeleteGod bless you and yours.
Exactly what I was going to say.
DeleteAgreed Happyone.
DeleteGod bless.
Sometimes chat up lines are not needed …
ReplyDeleteSome folks just 'click'
Some folks ... a smile and hello are sufficient
All the best Jan
You are so right, Jan. Words not needed.
DeleteGod bless you and your family.
