Pick up lines

Hmm, interesting topic. I'll keep an eye out for them although I am not entirely sure I will recognize many pick up lines. Ones not in books that I've heard: Easy German Vol. 12 It's a youtube video. A couple of German girls use pick up lines on random strangers. Some of the responses are pretty fun. This is my favorite episode. lol. :D
That was cute. I liked how the guy said usually it's the guy who uses the lines on a girl. It does make you wonder what the responses would be by guys if you flip the tables. I have a feeling it would work on most guys, but maybe I'm wrong? What do you think?Some of the pick up lines in the videos. I have to admit I've heard them before, but they weren't used on me:
Your eyes match the sheets on my bed you want to come home with me and see them? (or something similar).
If I follow you home would you keep me?
Your father must have been a thief. I'm sure he took the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.
Question if a person is cute enough do you think even a bad pick/lame up line would work most of the time?
I think it would depend on how they said it. If a cute guy said something like that to me (yeah, right, like that'll happen!) in a fun-and-totally-not-serious-I'm-saying-this-just-to-hear-you-laugh kind of way, it would totally work. I'll have to scrounge around for some bad pickup lines! I've found contemporary romances are a treasure trove of cheesy lines.
"Your father must have been a thief. I'm sure he took the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes." - best line from the YouTube video. Cute! Thanks for posting niquae. Was it my immagination or were the men in Germany good looking?Decades ago I was at work and the maintence guy was on a ladder fixing the ceiling light outside my office. I was looking up, he down, when the light came on.
He asked, "Do your eyes bother you?"
"Nope," I answered, thinking he was talking about the brightness.
"Well, they sure bother me."
I thought that was clever/cute/well timed and told him so. Didn't get him a date though.
I was watching Monty Python last night and seeing John Cleese say, "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" in a Hungarian accent almost made me do a spit-take.
Lisa, cute story! Most of the time when I would flirt with co-workers (back in my bookstore and coffee shop job days), we would mostly just BS each other or try and out dirty each other. I feel confident in saying that I usually won. A couple years ago I stayed with some friends over Thanksgiving in London and there were about 7 of us in a 1 bedroom apartment (4 guys and 3 girls), and I managed to make all the guys and two of the girls blush. Two of the guys praised my ingenuity (even called me a filthy slag in a very affectionate and awed way). I was quite proud of myself.
LOL! Oh, Sans! Good for you! Talk about pillow talk. (Now why am I imagining this contest taking place in the dark? Oh, yeah. 'Cause you said bedroom...apartment.)
Ahhh, sadly it was while we were preparing an American Thanksgiving dinner for our British friends. And during dinner. And after dinner. And while we were setting up the sleeping bags and air mattresses. Once the lights turned off, I was out though. ^o^
Lisa and Sans, Somehow I missed your previous comments.Lisa, The ladder pick up line was cute.
Sans, You made me laugh.

I finally found one in a book! Here is a line from Where Demons Fear to Tread (The Company of Angels, #1) by Stephanie Chong:
"I'm just a yoga teacher." She remained still as he circled around her.
"You may be trying to pass yourself off as such. I think we both know better. Let's discuss that in a moment. But since you insist that you're just a yoga teacher..." She could feel his hot gaze running the length of her. He completed his turn in front of her. "Would you say your body is your temple?""
She nodded once, almost imperceptibly, afraid to move.
"Then let me come in and worship."
Nice one!I'm reading The Boyfriend of the Month Club and the woman, dressed in a LBD and high heels, is at a really nasty Irish pub full of dirty rugby players when a guy walks up behind her and says: "What's a nice pair of legs doing in a place like this?"
She turns around and says: "I have to admit, that's original. Most guys notice my ass first."
"Don't know how I could've missed that. Turn around, and let me start over."
OMG. Lisarenee and Carol, I need to read those books. Hey, if a dirty rugby player wanted to have a gander at my gams up close and personal like, I wouldn't object, as long as he isn't one of the ones who's face has been smashed flat in the scrums.In one of my current favourite songs, there's a line that goes, "When you fell from heaven, did it hurt and did you cry?" Thank goodness he was singing that he would not be using pick up lines like that. ~_~
Oh, and if you've heard of any bad or good ones that aren't in books you can list them too.
