Have you ever googled pick-up lines? Neither had I...until today. And man, there are some really BAD ones out there!
So why am I googling pick up lines? Well, Doc and I decided to go on a fun date this weekend, pretending we've never met before. We'll just happen to cross paths at a place downtown, where he'll see me, be smitten, and decide to pick up on me...a complete stranger.
The rule is we can't break character, or let on that we know anything about the other person at all. We can invent whatever histories we want for ourselves, mixing fact and fiction any way we like.
It's going to be so much fun!
So since this is new territory for me...I mean, really, 25 years ago when we started dating it was much simpler and I never experienced anything like this...I decided I'd better put some thought into my character for the night. For example, what is my name? What is my life like? (have I ever been married? Do I have kids? Where do I work? Have I lived here long?) What are my hobbies, interests? And also, how does the whole pickup-scene work, anyway? I've never thought much about it. Anyone have any tips for me?
The prospect of having a one-night-stand with my husband is so exciting I can hardly stand it!
Now to figure out how to look smokin' hot.

this is adorable. it wouldn't work for me and my hubs though because my sense of direction is so terribly bad i'd never find the place we were supposed to 'just happen to meet!'
Love it! I'm sure you'll look smoking hot! What a fun idea.
I can't wait for the, um, slightly censored version of how this plays out! I would have stage fright, I'm afraid...
I think this is a FANTASTIC idea!
Have fun!!
For your reading amusement, here are just a few lines I'd suggest avoiding...you know, in case you're in the market:
Did you clean your pants with Windex? I can practically see myself in them.
Did you fart, cause you blew me away.
I don't have a library card, but do you mind if I check you out?
Hey...somebody farted. Let's get out of here.
There must be something wrong with my eyes, I can't take them off you.
Is your name "swiffer"? 'Cause you just swept me off my feet.
Are you going to kiss me or do I have to lie to my diary?
Your lips look so lonely.... Would they like to meet mine?
Can I buy you a drink or do you just want the money?
Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
Inheriting eighty million bucks doesn't mean much when you have a weak heart.
You see my friend over there? [Point to friend] He wants to know if YOU think I'M cute.
I know milk does a body good, but baby, how much have you been drinking?
I'm new in town. Could you give me directions to your apartment?
Was you father an alien? Because there's nothing else like you on Earth!
Your daddy must have been a baker, because you've got a nice set of buns.
[Point at her bum] Pardon me, is this seat taken?
You know how they say skin is the largest organ on the human body? Not in my case.
You be the Dairy Queen and I'll be your Burger King: You treat me right, and I'll do it your way.
I'm not trying to impress you or anything, but... I'm Batman!
Are you a parking ticket? 'Cause you've got fine written all over you.
Hi, my name is Doug. That's "god" spelled backwards with a little bit of you wrapped up in it.
Well, here I am. What were your other two wishes?
Hello, I'm doing a survey of what people think are the cheesiest pickup lines. So, do you pick 'Do you come here often?', 'What's your sign?', or 'Hello, I'm doing a survey of what people think are the cheesiest pickup lines.'?
If I told you that you had a great body, would you hold it against me?
You look like my third wife. [how many time have you been married?] Twice.
You are so beautiful that I would marry your brother just to get into your family.
My buddies over there said that I wouldn't be able to start a conversation with the most beautiful girl in the bar. Wanna buy some drinks with some of their money?
Hey baby, you've got somthing on your butt: my eyes.
This isn't a beer belly, It'a a fuel tank for a love machine.
You're hotter than donut grease.
Are your parents retarded, 'cause you sure are special.
(hold out hand) Would you hold this for me while I go for a walk?
As kids we liked, "Your lips are wrinkled, may I press them".
That is one scary list! Hope Doc uses a good one!
So you're going slutty and having sex on the first date? Way to go!
P.S. I do comment on blogs when I know that people have them, which apparently in your case I did not! Sorry for the oversight!
Haha ok- you're hilarious!
