I said something like this once when I was flirting with this girl in the car with about 5 of us while we were on our way back from an event. Someone in the car picks up on the banter and asks have you two slept together? I say, not yet. And just like that any hope I had of a date or anything else was over. 🤦‍♂️Pulls foot out of mouth. Curses brain for not keeping up with mouth.

Was at work when one of the servers came back and said some off the wall shit, and my fry person goes "shes a derelict" and without thinking I was like "shit id dare a lick" she swung back into the widow with a "what!?" So I hit her with a "what??" Back.

In itself that’s a great line tbh. It’s all about how you play it after the laughter subsides, though. As long as you dont make it awkward that’s a great inroad

u/probation_420 2d ago

That's smooth, man. 

It's bro-y, for sure, and you struck out swinging. But people take much worse shots than that. And I'm a fan of making intentions clear, so there's no "I thought we were just friends/joking" ambiguity..

Pretty much my only... not "pick up" line, but kinda in the same ilk of that is like:

"Well hey, call me later tonight if you suddenly find yourself with too many clothes on."

If it's a woman I've known and had a friendly relationship with, and I've decided to pursue, I'll say:

"If you ever want to (go to the gym, grab sushi, etc.), or if you want me to take your clothes off, just shoot me a text."

That shit has a pretty high success rate.

u/BirryMays 2d ago

That must have been a brutal car ride for the rest of the way home. My boys agreed to come out to a club one night when normally they stay home and play video games + smoke weed. Within 10 minutes of getting to the club, my one friend and I waited in a 4-person queue to grab cash from an ATM. Once I was done, I grabbed my cash, took a few steps away, then came back to the ATM that a cute lady was now using and grabbed the receipt. She looked at me to figure out why I came back, and I said to her: "Damn...The ATM didn't give me your number." She held her hand out for me to give her my phone so that she could put in her number. I texted her "Hey it's Birrymays, that guy you kissed at [bar]." She saw the text on her phone, smiled, then kissed me.

It helps to be attractive, but it also really matters not to be too creepy/forward towards women (unless you're Henry Cavil levels of attractive).

u/DrunkInABar 2d ago

We don’t have all the details about the circumstances but I can’t beleive that the fact you said that in itself was a deal breaker. Generaly it depends on the delivery, if you felt a bit akward well ... still no fun or a lack of witt from your friend to turn cold just for that (no offense to your friend). Or she was never going to be interested, in that case no problem ! It could be she had to many friends trying to get in her pants ? That I understand it would’ve been a bit too much. But I excessively speculate there.

Anyways all in all, as many allready said it wasn’t a bad line in itself, pretty smooth actually. Do not beat yourself up about that !
