1. Whats your sign?
The epitome of cheese, this line, which has been around since the Beatles came to America, ranks as the very worst line in dating history. The fact that its still in use says a lot about the decay of our societys standards and the glaring desperation of some singles.
2. Pardon me, I seem to have lost my phone number, can I borrow yours?
Maybe this was funny around 1910 or 1915back when the telephone was a novel appliance. It does not inspire smiles now, only scared and doomed looks.
3. You must be a broom because youre sweeping me off my feet.
Maybe your dad used this one on your mom and for nostalgias sake, youre bringing it out again. Nostalgia does not get you dates, only pity. I actually had a guy say this to me during happy hour, says Kim, a vivacious flight attendant who gets her share of pick-up lines. I didnt hold it against him because I dont know how much hed had to drink and he was cute. But if he hadnt been cute, I would have dodged him.
4. Do you have a license? Because youre driving me crazy.
Caution! Watching too many stupid teen movies impairs your judgment. This probably sounded clever to the person who swiped it from an Annette and Frankie beach party flick.
5. I gotta thirst and baby, you look like my Gatorade.
Generally, comparing potential dates to food or drinks is not a winning move. I had a guy use this one on me and I rolled my eyes and walked way, says Susan, a marketing representative who doesnt usually go for lines. But a couple of weeks later, I saw this hot guy at the gym and I used that same line and it worked! I guess there are gender preferences when it comes to lines. He was really flattered, where I was insulted when it was used on me.
6. Are you lost? Because heavens a long way from here.
Maybe angels like this one, but real women dont.
7. Are you religious? Because youre the answer to all my prayers.
Prayer is something that anyone who uses this tacky line desperately needs.
8. Can I take your picture? I want Santa to know exactly what I want for Christmas.
This line is popular with both men and women who think references to Santa are cute and charming, which are qualities that they never possess personally.
9. Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?
A stunning woman I had been staring at used this on me, says Mark, a tawny-haired, gregarious copywriter. I know its an old one but it took guts to say it. Im afraid I happily fell for it.
10. Well, here I am. What are your other two wishes?
A personal favorite, this one takes a certain amount of arrogance, as well as delusion, to pull off.
