was that a pick up line?

While putting my makeup on this morning, I remembered what happened a few years ago. I was shopping at Fiesta (an important piece of info for my fellow Texans! You know what I am talking about.) when a man came up to me and asked, "Are those your real eyebrows?" Wow. I had never been asked that before. I didn't quite know how to respond. Was he serious? After looking at him for a second, I realized that one, he was serious, and two, that was a pick up line. Gotta love Fiesta and the cultural experience it was! What funny pick up lines have been used on you?

And if you were wondering, yes, these are my real eyebrows.

one time at rice epicurean market (kind of a different shopping experience than fiesta, although we do love fiesta, of course), someone asked me, "are you from europe?"

um, no. please let me just buy my bananas thank you.

ha!!! gotta love the FIESTA crowd! the most interesting pick up line i ever heard was the night before i was induced w/my 3rd baby(nate). i wasnt wearing my wedding ring (obviously) and joe and i and our friends went to dave&busters... the bartender came up to me and told me a guy wanted to buy me a drink. my girlfriend and i laughed and i pointed to my belly and said i HOPE you wouldnt serve me a drink! (we were just eating dessert while our husbands were playing some game away from us) then, not 5 minutes later, some guy came up and asked me if my baby needed a daddy...
i thought that pretty strange! well, to me at that point, it made me feel pretty good (cause i was feeling pretty fat and ugly) HOWEVER, looking back, that guy must have been a psychopath... i mean seriously, who picks up on pregnant chicks?

Ha Ha! I've had some stupid ones before.. once someone said at the movies, " this movie should be about you cuz you're a star in my eyes" HAHAHA!! Can it be any cheesier?!

I have one for you ... a guy said to me "are you married" to which I said "Yes" and he said "... but are you HAPPILY married ..." as if then maybe there was a chance :-)

Once I was at the Taste Of Tacoma with some friends. We were walking back to our car as I was happily eating some Strawberry shortcake. Well, two guys were approaching us. One I recognized from school, but did not know. They stopped and starting talking to us and the guy asked if he could have a bite of my food. In shock, I let him. He then proceeded to ask for my number. Strangest way any guy has tried to pick up on me.

Bobbie, I had the same one...it must be in some "stupid pick up lines" book.

Whatever, those are totally fake. They are too perfect.

So where did ya'll go on your first date?

John said...

I have had so many girls try to pick me up I can't even think of one of the pick up lines.

I love your eyebrows,your hair, your smile and your cute pregnant belly. Nobody wants to pick me up but that's a good place to be. Even though at work when I was celebrating my 60th birthday, many seriously thought I was just kidding about the age. I guess you can count that as a pretty good pick up line. It's getting harder each day to look younger than I am though so I better enjoy it.

Aw, I miss the adventuresome/entertaining Fiesta!

The funniest pick-up line I've heard was one used on Joe in Hawaii during our honeymoon. He was at the laundrymat by himself and a girl came up and told him her name was Faith and asked if she could make a believer out of him!

David said this one to me when we were first married, and pulled it on me again last night (with all the cheese in his voice he could muster...)
"If I told you that you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?"

yeah.

When I was 8 months pregnant with Alia I had a guy approach me in the parking lot of the Family Dollar and tell me that I was the the finest pregnant lady he's ever seen and could he please have my number? Then noticed that his cigarettes didn't smell like regular cigarettes! That made me laugh so hard!
