Okay this isn’t me using a lame pick up line but someone else tried this on me and well it’s a definite hall of famer if there ever was one. I’ve ** out anything that can be used to identify her (hey I’m still a gentleman :) and a gentleman protects a lady’s privacy …..
Anyway here’s the email enjoy !
Hey Steven,
My system is down. I actually had to call in sick part of yesterday and today. Stomach wasn’t feeling good, and on top of that my boss was getting on my case *
I told her my health is first priority and called it a sick day. *.
But I still need to recharge esp. since I don’t have a sick day balance, and was researching things that would boost my energy. I noted this one event, Salsa lessons this Sunday from Meetup, and would like to go but need a partner. Want to go?

Having answered several of her questions, she realized that maybe the questions were starting to sound like an interogation (well okay so I wasn’t complaining, after all she was obviously interested in what little I had to say).
She goes “Sorry I’m asking too many questions”
I go “That’s okay, I kinda feel like I’m being interviewed for the position of boyfriend”
she smiles :).
Event was over and I follow through with, I was kinda hoping you would like to finish the interview over a drink.

I think I have what could possibly be an original pick up line (wait I just thought it could apply in a gym warning though I’m not sure it worked… )
Anyway, so we are kayaking down a river and she’s really putting her arm into it (which aparently you aren’t supposed to do but hey I’m no better here).
So I say, with all those muscles your boy friend is sure to notice that you’ve gotten stronger when you hug him.
Her response, “I could beat you up!” she says this with an enormous smile and her eyes lit up.
Truth is I wasn’t sure if she had a boy friend or not but hey she didn’t say she did.
Well the story ends well she doesn’t :D . And I aparently my lame pick up line didn’t loose me any points ;).

I was standing in line in a wine store and said something nice to the lady in front of me (hey I’m just polite).
Next I went into a grocery nearby and was searching for the wine I couldn’t find at the wine store. The lady from the wine store, taps me on the shoulder and goes, “hey are you following me ?”
I look up recognize her and go “yeah I am” :). I don’t know if I made her day but hey it brightened her up quite a bit. I introduced myself spoke to her for a few minutes and left it at that.
I guess my minds somewhere else but hey she didn’t need to hear that and it was nice the way it was.

I was at the Hot chocolate machine at work (which doubles as the expresso machine as well). A beautiful woman comes to me and says : “Do you mind if I squeeze in with you, I’ve an 8 O’Clock meeting.” I respond “You had me at Squeeze in with you” she smiled :).
The delivery could have used more work (My mind is somewhere else) still it made her smile and that counts for something.

Got there late to the family wedding and there was a show by a group of people from the brides and grooms side. The bride’s side had Ms. Curly hair. Aparently many on the grooms side had hit on her and gotten slammed with “I’m engaged.” Being late I had no idea.
I was stuck with MC’ing duties, announcing acts and the participants. I went up to Ms. Curly and said:
“See what you’ve made me do, I can’t seem to remember anyone else’s name in your group :)”
She didn’t seem to notice that I still messed up anouncing the names of participants in her dance (made a good joke about that which is why I was tapped to be MC :).
The story ends with, she slow danced with me and at the end of that day’s event she waved and smiled out of my life.
She left the wedding early (a few days early, I was a few days late to it) and then I found out she was engaged to marry someone…..
Hopefully I’m a good memory for her, I know she is for me

I’m sitting at the Brooks Brothers Store in NY waiting for a friend to pick out a suit for his wedding reception. Next to me are two chairs which are quickly filled by two women. They look like a mother daughter pair but one is a red head (the older one) and the other a blonde.
So I ask (purely out of curiosity of course): “Since you’re related, which one of you dyes your hair cause I can’t tell ?”
The red head goes “Who said we were related ?” then she laughs and adds “The blonde is my mother :)” I don’t know if she slipped or intended it as a joke but I play along (they are both cute and I’ve no interest in suit shopping.
Somewhere in the conversation the Red Head (obviously the mother) goes “My son is trying out suits” quickly catching herself she goes demurely “Now you’re not gonna believe anything I say….”
I pipe in, looking at the blonde (Daughter), “No I believe you she looks like she could be a grandmother.” The Blonde goes “Now you know which one of us dyes her hair, I’ve to get rid of all that white hair”
I look her squarely in the eyes and go, “You don’t need to do anything to your hair, one look in those beautiful eyes and I wouldn’t even notice if your hair was blue or white.”
She smiles, it’s one of those smiles that showed in her eyes.

It’s from the movie things to do in Denver when you’re dead
Andy Garcia walks up to Gabrielle Anwar and asks her
“How do you do that ?”
she asks what ?
He says “Glide”.
“Other girls just plod along in life but you glide, and girls who glide need a man who can make them thump….”
The thing is it starts out nice and polite and then….
It’s just one of those lines that has stayed with me, not that I plan to use it but I used to have this game going with bad pick up lines and my buddy Susan won (could deliver the line) more than me but it was fun).
That Steven is years ago and I guess this goal is to try and bring him back :) without the bed-post knotching part of course.

It’s this line used by Andy Garcia in “things to do in Denver when you’re dead”
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114660/
If she is interested I figure it doesn’t matter how bad the line….
