Fatuous Crush Introducing Pick Up Lines September 30, 2007
Posted by Cai in F.Y.I, Life, Pictures.trackback
After what happened at Cafe Primo, it made me realised that i can never have the guts to do anything if i am interested in the someone, yes because i am shy. You can go ahead and dare me to do some random stun over at town in future, e.g. by saying hello to strangers, that will be perfectly fine. However if it’s to someone i’m like melting for, it gets my knees shaking and my palms sweating.

That’s what happened at Cafe Primo, when Kathryn (the one on the left of the picture, oh please ignore my messy hair and silly smile because my mind was in a complete formatted status at that moment) caught my eye, that’s because of the initial exchange of smiles. Since then, it was hard for me to take my eyes off her every move, it was indeed amusing seeing her swing her head with the in house music. Obviously, everyone noticed and the teasing became the table topic, they kept urging/prompting me to do something, but i just couldn’t.
Soon it was time to leave after the free pancake desert, and Kenneth pulled her over and whispered to her that his friend is fascinated by her. #^*#(@ I nearly fainted when she looked me in the eye and sticked out her tongue
Kenneth then requested that both of us should take a picture, and of course i couldn’t resist. Then surprise surprise, her colleague must unintentionally walk past us looking curious, which made it inevitable to ask her to take part in the portray too. You don’t expect me to bastard her right.
That was my luckiest night in Adelaide, though i knew i was extremely out of my mind. Oh and please don’t expect me to camp at Cafe Primo daily, it’s just a 5 minutes crush and she’s out of my league. I do expect myself to fall back into reality with my mind set on that somebody.
Anyway, this incident reminded me of pick up lines, the 10 worst pick up lines to be exact. Learn from it my fellow mates.
1. “What’s 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 it’s still in use says a lot about the decay of our society’s 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 1915—back 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 you’re sweeping me off my feet.”
Maybe your dad used this one on your mom and for nostalgia’s sake, you’re 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 didn’t hold it against him because I don’t know how much he’d had to drink and he was cute. But if he hadn’t been cute, I would have dodged him.”
4. “Do you have a license? Because you’re 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 doesn’t 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 heaven’s a long way from here.”
Maybe angels like this one, but real women don’t.
7. “Are you religious? Because you’re 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 it’s an old one but it took guts to say it. I’m 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.
