The Official FR Singles Thread--29 June/1 July "MSN.com Tells Us How To Ask Someone Out On A Date"

[Khepera]

I’m single and moving to Worcester MA next week. I’ll be the only good looking conservative single male within 500 miles. Are there any good looking single females in Worcester? I’m going to be so lonely.

[NoobRep]

Ask a girl if she has a raisin. When she says no, say “Okay how about a date?” Works all the time!

“I lost my phone number, can I have yours?”

LOL, that is actually my voicemail message. No joke.

[Khepera]

Well actually it was a broader audience I was trying to reach but you happened to hear it first. I not Tonto kemosabe (sp).

“I’d like to take you to lunch,” with a smile, is a great pickup line. It would work on me.

Or, “I’m financially in great shape, and I’m ready to meet someone like you.”

Or, “I’d like to get to know you better.”

Or, “If you aren’t busy, let’s get a cup of coffee.”

Anything courteous and interested. One guy I’m considering dating just smiles like he’s really happy every time he sees me. In 3 months or so, I’m going to ask him out if he doesn’t move first. I say three months, because I’m recently widowed, and not quite ready to date, but almost. The right person could interest me in a friendship.

On the other hand, a really lame line with a genuine laugh would be fun, too. We’ll listen, if there’s a sense of humor involved.

Basically, what interests a woman is YOU being interested in her. If she plays games, or makes you jump through hoops, or is higher maintenance than you can afford, just let it go. That’s my advice.

What do you go on to start out with Dave? Looks kinda smacks ya in the face right from the start. Some times it keeps smacking you and sometimes once is enough.

"You're the hottest thing since sunburn!"

Always gets me a date.....if I ever need one....LOL! ;)

[Khepera]

Sounds reasonable to me. I’m usually pretty shy and I found that does not work very well. I’m thinking of changing my tactics and can always use sound advice.

[GOP_Raider]

I have used the phrase “that woman is hotter than butter on toast” to describe facial attraction a few times, but I would never in several million years consider using it as a pickup line though.

[Vision]

Is it me or do you think she got a breast reduction?

[cgbg]

If there are any they will really be noticeable among the beached whales that inhabit most of the cities here in New England (except Boston).

I work in Hartford, CT and every day I thank my lucky stars I found a beautiful woman crazy enough to marry me. It would not be fun to start over again.

[Perdogg]

If I was you I’d be.... Leaving what a good idea!!!!

[BossLady]

I introduce myself...say something witty then....work in the line.... ;)

Flattery will get you everywhere.....including a date....LOL!

[Khepera]

You go dog :)

[Khepera]

Oh boy you really know how to draw a picture.

Basically, what interests a woman is YOU being interested in her. If she plays games, or makes you jump through hoops, or is higher maintenance than you can afford, just let it go. That’s my advice.

In all seriousness, this is some very sound advice. Thank you for the insight.
