What's the biggest "line" you've ever heard while dating?
Okay, boys and girls, I have two more hours of work today, and things are quiet. (In other words, I'll do just about ANYTHING to avoid end of the year inventory...)

What's the biggest line anyone gave you while dating? I have two.

I once dated a guy who had a $ignificant career at the tender age of 33. ;-) I didn't have a big job, and was intimidated by what he did. I told him this. He said, "I don't give a ___ what you do. I make enough money for both of us." (When I told this story to some girlfriends recently, they all turned to me and shrieked, "And you didn't MARRY him?")

I was once asked out by a Catholic priest. His comment? "Just because I'm on a diet doesn't mean I can't look at the menu."

I know you guys can top me...

Julie

1. Guys keep telling me ...
I fall in-love easily.

What's up with that?

That's a brain teaser, for sure. ;-)

8. It's code:
"I fall in love easily" --> "I've fallen in love a lot" --> "I fall out of love easily" --> "I don't fall deeply in love" --> "I know you want somebody unafraid to use the word 'love', so there you go" --> "Can we get to the sex part now?"

Just sayin'.

It didn't take a long time for me to figure that one out.

Especially the "I fall in love easily" --> "I've fallen in love a lot" --> "I fall out of love easily" --> "I don't fall deeply in love" --> "I know you want somebody unafraid to use the word 'love', so there you go" --> "Can we get to the sex part now?"

BTW ~ That is just sayin' a whole lot!

17. omg I've been told the same thing.
You and I try to see the goodness in most of the people we meet. That can mean we put ourselves out there emotionally before our partners or potential partners do. Well let me tell ya I'm sick and tired of that. From now on if anyone wants my love there's got to be some down and dirty sex and lots of it.

3. "I'm not ready...."
".... to marry you. Right now I just want to live w/ you as if we were married."

Sorry folks. I know some of you do live together, and I probably would have tried living with this guy too, but this line didn't come 6 months or a year into the relationship. It came after more than 3 years of "living together" every weekend. This guy still lived w/ his parents and was looking for someone to share the rent, not for someone to share their life.

I wasn't going to put myself in the position of needing him financially, only to have him walk out on me later on.

After 3 years, if you still want to keep one foot out of the door, you may as well keep both of them out there.

Nearly 6 years later, it's still a sore subject with me.

4. Friend doctor arranged for me to work with cute doctor one day
Then he asked cute doctor what he thought of me. Answer: Oh, she's stunning.
Well, are you going to ask her out? Answer: Women usually ask ME out.

I have nothing against asking men out, but not the ones who EXPECT it!

in order to get in my pants. It was the first time that line was used on me in a clear attempt at boning.

*sigh*

I didn't fall for it.

52. "I'm sterile" Yeah, words to get romantic by. Another attempt by a fella
who's name is LONG forgotten... we didn't have any 'protection' at the time, and back then, our only fear was pregnancy, not death.

That line didn't work on me either.

14. It's embarrassing to admit this
One of the other ones that would basically make me drop my guard: "I'm a little nervous." Depended on the guy, though. If I thought it was truly a line, that was it. If he was just nice and a little shy, I was charmed.

Did I mention that I hated dating? It was my idea of Hell.

25. No you didn't Julie and I'm absolutely shocked to see a girl
of your caliber and stature and status here in the den of equity. (just kidding)

Hate dating? I loved dating, specially the second date, if things went well. The first date was kind of like hell if ya found out right away it was a no go, and by that I mean nothing in common and a very prudish person.

>your caliber and stature and status here<

You are so sweet! :blush:

>The first date was kind of like hell if ya found out right away it was a no go, and by that I mean nothing in common and a very prudish person.<

I'm sure that you're a blast to go out with!
I hated dating because the more attracted I was, the shyer I got. I saw the guy who gave me the big line about his income off and on for over a year. He traveled a lot for his job, so he didn't find out how I really felt about him until long after I'd met and started dating DH. The pressure was off, you see. :scared:

33. I know what you mean....about the shyness thing.
Sometimes we put a person high high on a pedestal.

Though the great law of attraction we sometimes blow it, because we reveal too much about ourselves or not enough.

It is a game, and it must be romantically played. There are losers and there are winners. We change roles frequency. Win one lose one, until marriage. Which seldom are successful.

60. Oh, it was more than a pedestal
I'm thinking top of Mount Everest. ;-)

>Sometimes we put a person high high on a pedestal.<

Cute, funny, really intelligent, a little dorky. VERY self-assured, but didn't take himself seriously. He's also the only Republican I ever went out with for any length of time ;-), and we didn't fight about politics. He made me laugh more than anyone I've ever met. Of course, there's a large percentage of women who fall in love instantly with guys who make them laugh. I'm one of them.

>Win one lose one, until marriage. Which seldom are successful.<

People are still getting married; they believe they'll beat the odds. Some days are better than others ;-).

I wagged my finger towards myself in a 'comere motion to a pretty woman several times till she obliged. When she finally came hither, I said "I made you come with my finger, think what I could do with my d***

It actually worked, but then we were both quite messed up at the time. I wouldn't do that again.

28. Once in college,
a friend of mine came over to "study" (i.e., to hit on me while I studied).

He got me to sit on the couch next to him and put my book down so he could "show me something." He pulled out a jar of hair gel and showed me how he put the product in his hair---it was apparently quite a process. Then, just when I was starting to wonder why in the hell he was showing me this, he screwed the cap back on the jar, put his arm around my shoulders to pull me up against him, leaned in, and said, "Now that you've seen me do my hair..."

36. Not exactly a line while "dating", but...
this woman from work phoned me shortly after the xmas party and asked if i'd like to come over to her house tonight "for dinner, maybe watch a movie... then have some scorching hot sex?"... i was speechless for about 30 seconds then replied "er, uh- what movie do you wanna watch?"

The story quickly became legend among the employees there...

43. Worst line/ best line
Worst: "My wife is cool with it and the divorce is nearly final"

Best: This guy just walked up beside me, opened a pack of Lifesavers, put one in his mouth and then turned to me and said "Would you like one?" It was brilliant! Nothing sexual, nothing confrontational. There was so much packed into that line: "I would like to have sex with you but first I want to offer you my friendship".

Khash.
