Pick Up Lines

A

Let’s got out tomorrow night. We can go to a bar and try to find you a girlfriend.

B

I don’t think that’s a good idea. I am just not good with approaching someone and starting up a conversation.

A

Maybe you just need a few pick up lines,you know, break the ice.

B

Pick up lines don’t work!

A

Come on! You can just walk up to a girl and say: “If you were a booger I’d pick you first.”

B

What? Come on! That’s just lame! No girl would fall for that!

A

Fine, then you can say: “So there you are! I’ve been looking all over for YOU, the woman of my dreams!”

B

That’s a good one! I think that’s pretty funny.

A

Yeah, so you make her laugh, you make a fool of yourself a little bit and then you buy her a drink.

B

Ok, how does this sound: “I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there. So I am going to need your name and number for insurance purposes.”

A

Nice! Let’s go!
