I think my friend wasn't thinking of delivering a line per say, but it seemed to me that he felt he HAD to have some line in order to speak to this woman. Why not just go for it instead of over thinking it? But, you're all right--he's a great guy, and maybe he would've had a shot.KT My Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07045966201880044927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-40610948182065067782010-07-09T00:26:04.005-04:002010-07-09T00:26:04.005-04:00I completely agree on the pick up line.

It kind of shows confidence for approaching the girl while showing he's not overly arrogant at the same time by admitting he couldn't come up with anything clever. I kind of admire that and as long as he didn't look like a serial killer/rapist type of guy and I was single, I might have considered it if I was the girl :-).JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776771765597948110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-1384449854883738802010-07-08T23:13:07.015-04:002010-07-08T23:13:07.015-04:00I totally agree!

Smiling with a guy should be natural - if he has to ask then that's probably not a good sign lol.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07813882918815834251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-6521716553529131222010-07-08T23:07:59.090-04:002010-07-08T23:07:59.090-04:00I have to say it would depend on HOW a guy gave th...I have to say it would depend on HOW a guy gave the line to me. And whether or not he was creepy.<br /><br />When I was 19 I was working at JCPenneys in catalog and this good looking guy came to pick up this GORGEOUS coat. He was nice enough, paid for his purchase and then started to walk away. Then he came back to me and said, "I'll be kicking myself if I don't say this. You're gorgeous, would you mind if I asked for your number."<br /><br />Sadly, for him, I had a boyfriend at the time. But I was incredibly flattered and it was nice to be called gorgeous by a cute guy!<br /><br />However, I also had much older, creepy guys say creepy things to me and THAT does not go over well. If I look young enough to be your daughter please don't hit on me.Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290616156300143483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-7667618743481950202010-07-08T22:20:50.154-04:002010-07-08T22:20:50.154-04:00Maybe I'm just different, or desperate, but I ...Maybe I'm just different, or desperate, but I don't think I would view the first question as a "pick up line". It seems more like a real question and I would appreciate that MORE than a "Hey, baby, I lost my phone number, can I have yours?" <br /><br />I'm not a fan of pick-up lines at all, but I think they're just funny! If one was crafted creatively, who KNOWS what I would do.

I've been told my default expression is too serious, but that's just how my face is I swear haha. It seems like your friend was genuinely unable to think of something to say to her, so I don't think it would have come across like a line. If it were me I might have even agreed to go out w/him.<br /><br />-Delilahdating divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634826148056884866noreply@blogger.com
