Opening Lines

Opening Lines

When I meet a woman in a social situation
I'm faced with the terrifying prospect of inventing
an opening line

As a young pup, I used the standard, "What's your sign?"
there was the usual, 'Can I buy you a drink?"
"What do you do? You look like a model."

"Can I buy you another drink?"
that one gets results

I went through, "Do you come here often?"
"I drive a Porche."
and, "So, your husband doesn't treat you right?"

But I have found that the direct approach is better:
"Can I eat your pussy?" or,
"How much would it cost me for a blow job?"
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

ha. never tried any of those. my chat up lines tend to be things like, "hi... um... do you like... bread?"

useless!

i rely on conversation sparking up naturally. i have a cord mariners hat http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk/my_ ... erscap.jpg that i like to wear from time to time. that can be a conversation piece, right up until the girl asks to try it on and i get all possessive! piss of, this is my hat, get your own damn hat!!!

"money honey, if you want to get along with me"
an efficient instrument if used wisely.

Last year on one of my forays to New york there was a bar that my better half and I would frequent on Amsterdam Ave. Every night there was a sprightly fellow in his mid 70's who would greet every woman that came through the door regardless if she was alone or not. He was a master of conversation and knew how to nurse a drink. According to the bartender he would get lucky more often than one would think. The gentleman, Richard is his name, said he would never take home anyone over 40 as he couldn't teach them anything....

He will always remain a hero to me...

"Pardon me, do the voices in my head distrub you?"

No actually I don't remember using any. But it has been a long time since I consciously tried--- So I probably forgot..

When I meet a man in a social situation, I skip all the small talk nonsense and get straight to the point and ask him, "How big is your dick?"


:lol:

Oh and Artguy, I know this lovely woman who is like 75 years old and she hangs out at this bar in DC and has been hanging out there for many years. She's an excellent conversationalist and sure does know how to nurse a drink. Every night, there are men who come through the door and she greets them with a smile and a wink, no matter whether they walk in there alone or have a companion. The bartender told me she gets lucky quite often and it doesn't surprise me one bit. She'll always be a hero to me! :shock:

I like to go in with a cigarette between my lips
lifts in my shoes
casually pull out the zippo
offer her one
sing a few bars of You Are So Beautiful
"what are you doing tonight?"

i watched a tv series a while back where the main character used this opening line everytime..."hi, my name is eddie arlette. how do you like me so far?" it cracked me up. it helped that he had a goofy grin too. haha
