rejection lines

recently, i was confronted w/ 2 thought-provoking questions regarding pick up lines...

a) do guys really think that this approach works?
b) why don't girls jump on board?

I have a partial answer to A, but to B, i decided to dive into uncharted waters. there was a group of us sitting at pickles, and I was in an unusually good mood - full of energy from the post-climbing ride high. i didn't know many at the table, but was hanging with my girl nicole so it was totally comfortable. she began randomly hammering one poor guy at the table with questions left and right as she didn't know him. why not? :) out of the blue, i decided to make a tactical diversionary move and bust out the most over used, pick-up line on the planet.

"what's your sign?"

oh yea. so the guy blushed, was a bit shocked... (but then answered). and everyone cracked up. nicole's questions ceased for the time being (she's so fun to go out with) BUT the best part was when the entire table started discussing their signs....

"ewww -- virgo???
"i'm a pisces"

so much for the pick-up line picking anyone up. but it certainly did spark more quality conversation. ok, so really it served to entertain me for the time-being... but hey. So, i decided to do some research... and have found some quality lines that I may just have to try out the next time i'm out... and bored w/ the same old conversation...

here are a few of the unisex ones that are my favorites so far... feel free to make suggestions if you feel there are some good ones to test out.

"Is there an airport nearby or is that just my heart taking off?"
"Do you have a map? I keep getting lost in your eyes."
"Was you father an alien? Because there's nothing else like you on Earth!"
"Is your dad a terrorists? Because you are the bomb."
"Your daddy must have been a baker, because you've got a nice set of buns."

BUT WAIT -- there's more...

did you know that there are now rejection hotlines?? i thought i'd share with all of my near and dear bloggie friends out there... 212.479.7990 ... it's free, harmless, and lets party x down easy (i guess??)... pick option 1 - it's pretty funny.

the end.
