Poll: Crazy pick up lines people have used on you.
When was the last time somebody tried to pick you up?
What are some crazy pick up lines people have used on you in the past?
Re: Poll: Crazy pick up lines people have used on you.
I think that last time someone tried to pick me up was last year (though I didn't know that's what he was doing at the time).
Referencing last year's pick-up debacle, the craziest line was someone calling me "arrogant." Apparently, here in southern NL, that's considered a pick-up line, because then the girl is supposed to go out of her way to prove she's not arrogant, thus starting a conversation.
Basically, I didn't get it, and thought he was insulting me (and, honestly, he very well might have...though we'd only talked for about a minute and a half before he called me that, so I have no idea what I could have done to offend him). So, he proceeded to tell me that he could tell I was American because I was so arrogant, and I proceeded to tell him that I could tell he was Dutch because he was a rude a$$hole (no, I don't think all Dutch are rude a$$holes, but he was). Hey, if he can generalize, so can I. Needless to say...he stopped talking to me.
When I was 13 years old I was seriously developed (D cup) and I was working with my Dads company. This guy that must have been in his 30s comes up to me and asks if he can take me out sometime. I told him, rather uncomfortably, that I was only 13 and he was taken aback for a moment. Then he followed with "Well, I'd risk going to jail for you baby."
Needless to say I turned around and walked away XD
But the last time someone tried to pick me up was probably a year and a half ago. I was at a bar with my mom watching a friend's band play. This woman comes up to us and starts talking, and then tries to get me on the dance floor. I'm pretty shy and didn't like how she was eyeing me. But my mom actually kept pushing me onto the dance floor with the girl (she was totally clueless at that point) and finally the girl shouts to me "YOU'RE SO PRETTY!" and mom finally got why I was uncomfortable!

Crazy as this sounds, the last time a guy tried to pick me up was Monday. At work. When I'm sitting the belly sits right below the counter. If it hadn't been so busy I would have stood up but he would have kept talking and I really needed him to finish his transactions and move along.
God, there are so many to choose from. Probably the young guy who was really drunk and told me he was at the local language school.... studying English. That's pretty much the one language that school doesn't teach. ::smack head::
