Yes, you there. Boy who googled “how to ask a girl out for a cup of coffee” in nine different ways.
We want to help you.
Because, honestly? You’re sounding a little desperate.
And my readers, well, we’re girls. Or at least we once were.
So, girls, share your worst pick up experience, best pick up experience or your thoughts on how girls and boys shouldn’t ever speak to each other until they’re 40.
(Anything to help a brother out.)
One random commenter will win a $20 gift card to Starbucks.
(Any excuse to help a sister out to some much-deserved caffeine!)
I’m going out of town for the weekend, so you have til Monday morning to share.
And, Google Boy?
You might want to dial the desperation down just a little.

Worst pickup line used on me: “I lost my phone number, can I borrow yours.” Granted it was in highschool, but come on, really?
IN college there was also the guy who I didn’t hear from for months, then suddenly called & even though I told him I was engaged, begged for a chance. As if I was going to put the wedding on hold, just to see…..!

The first real date a boy ever asked me on was my freshman year of college. We knew some of the same people and happened to sit at the same lunch table one day. After lunch he simply said, “Do you want to get coffee sometime this week?” Easy peasy! And I said yes. And it was very exciting. We went to starbucks, he bought my drink, we sat in the comfy chairs and talked for a few hours. We went on a few more dates, and then he got weird, which turns into a long ‘worst boyfriend ever’ story that I won’t post here…
It sounds like you’re nervous, Google Boy, which is probably a good thing. If you weren’t, that would mean that maybe you are arrogant, and that’s no good. Just be respectful, and that’s a step up from most guys out there.

I was at a party once and this guy comes up to me and tells me that his friend would like to meet me and if I would go outside to talk to him. My first thought was “Yeah right”. Then he pointed at his friend and he was gorgeous! So I tell my friend that I’m steppin out and to check on me in a couple of minutes… just in case. Turns out that he had been in a car accident and had his jaw wired shut so he couldn’t really talk. He eventually got “Unwired” and we dated for quite some time after that.

I don’t have a lot of advice cuz I only ever dated my hubby… but something seemed to work, so let’s see, what was it…? Honestly, we met, we knew, we married 9 months later. End of story.
Yes, there is such a thing as love at first sight. If you know, you know… and pursue where your heart tells you. Might be good to make sure the girl feels the same. You know, like early on in the game… =)

Can it be my own line? I thought I was such an independent, forward kinda girl when I was younger (geez, I look back now & think how naive I was!). In college, an older boy asked me out & we had a lovely time. He never called again.
Years later, I was graduating & he was in grad school. I spoke at a luncheon at the BSU (Baptist Student Union), and in my talk, I laughed about all the boys I had dated during my collegiate years. Afterward, he came up to me and said, “I was one of those dates.”
“Yeah, and you coulda been two if you’d ever called.”
Got myself a second date.

I’ve never actually had a pickup line used on me, good OR bad, so I’m no help there.
But some advice for Mr. Desperate: Just ask her. Tell her you like her and are interested in getting to know her, and ask if she’d like to grab a cup of coffee sometime.
She might say no, and you have to be okay with that, but hey, she might say yes, too! Just ask.

If you want bad pickup lines, watch Hitch.
That movie just puts the worst of the worst out there along with awkward situations galore.
I believe I’ve blocked out all the horrible dating experiences (mostly) from my memory. The oddest was the guy that asked me out because our birthdays were on the same day. We did date for awhile, but turns out he had dated another girl prior to me with the same birthday, and the one he dated after me had the same birthday.
Either he was changing his birthday around or it was just plain creepy.

Ewww, I’ve heard all sorts of bad pick-up lines, but usually just as a joke and no one has ever really tried to pick me up with one.
I asked a guy for coffee once. It took me about two weeks to work up the courage (and catch him alone) but he said yes.

Well it wasn’t a line, but there was the time that I was out with a guy I was dating and while he was shooting pool his brother asked me out.
I said no.
He asked why.
True story.

So after posting this, a guy actually used a pick up line on me and my friend! We were behind him in line at the grocery store and he was trying to keep the conversation going but we were like, ok… bye bye because he was probably 18! Well, he and his friends were in the parking lot when we came out and he came over and said, “Did you guys get a parking ticket?!” We were so confused “ummmm… noooo…” “Are you sure?” he says, “Because you’ve got fine written all over you!”
BAHAHA! We were laughing for hours.
