Tuesday morning, I took a short walk down to a shop to go get a Diet Coke (breakfast of champions!). On my way back, I pass by a pickup truck parked at the curb. The guy rolls down his window, and says to me, "Yeah, that's what I like to see -- long hair and high heels. Mmmmm!"
Whatever, dude! Like I'm going to hop in your manky old truck and ride off! And my heels were only about 1.5 inches high, hardly skyscrapers, and I wasn't wearing them to please you, beardy. Ugh.
What are some of the stupidest pick-up/come-on lines you've ever been on the receiving end of? Or worse, used yourself?

I once sat at the pool for hours and let my Jamaican friend tell me every good line he ever used. I laughed so hard I cried. I wish I could remember them all now.

Yeah, I haven't shaved for a while... The ladies like that look.
But seriously, that kind of thing always weirds me out. The way some people act similar to that. Do they really expect it to work

Probably have a heart attack if the answer they got was "yes, I'd like to....."

I discussed the whole incident with my co-workers. One of them said she had a friend in Italy with some sort of sweet convertible, and he'd drive into the town square and ask girls if they'd like to have a quick shag in the backseat of the car. Mostly he got slapped, ignored, etc. But he reckoned that 1 in 10 times a girl said "okay", so he kept asking because a 10% success rate was really not too bad!

Although sweet convertible, I can understand... Beat up old pickup is another story.

One of my guy mates in London always swore by his most successful pick-up. Basically, he walks over to a girl in a bar or club whilst putting on his jacket, and nonchalantly says "get your coat darlin you've got lucky tonight". The fact that it makes women laugh has meant he has had a reasonable amount of success with it.

I once had someone ask me "What's your sign?" I kid you not.

Another weirdo followed me slowly in his van while I was walking down the street, then asked if I'd like to go for a ride. Hard to resist, I know, but I managed to restrain myself.

Nothing cheesy, but I've had my share of weird/creepy come-on's.
One of my closests friends (who was in a relationship) asked me to have sex with him one time. He said that she didn't want to lose her virginity until marriage but he was horny and needed to get it out of his system. He wasn't a friend after he pulled that one!

Just yesterday I got out of my car at the gas station and heard a whistle coming from a close by car.
The cc thing at the pump was broken so I had to go inside and pass the car....when I came back out, there was a guy standing there and he came over and asked me if he could 'pump my gas' cos I was 'too pretty to be pumping gas for myself'
Then again, I have long hair and was wearing high heels, so mebbe that was it

I was in a bar in London (okay, it wasn't a bar, it was a Canadian pub, our first choice was too crowded) with a couple of internet friends. My friends went to buy a drink and this is when a guy comes up to me and says, 'can I have a kiss? I'll win £20 off my mate.'

I've never spoken to him since, and I believe him and his girlfriend are now married. I guess he doesn't have to go around bothering his female friends for sex anymore!

When I was a model in New York many years ago, after one of the shows a member of the press came backstage to compliment the designer that was being showcased and approached me to let me know he liked the last piece I had on. He said, "darlin' I think that piece is splendid. You know where that'd simply look fabulous? On my bedroom floor"

No, but I should've! I never react quickly enough in those kind of situations; I'm no wit. I just sort of stammered 'uh okay' and then he attempted to force his tongue down my throat while I kept my lips firmly closed! Eventually he seemed to give up and returned (I have no idea if he ever did get the £20) and when I went to the toilets he and his mates stared at me as I walked past; I was pretty glad to leave.
As soon as I left I phoned Alex and told him what had happened and he just laughed

I've been to Bamburgh but not yet to Seahouses, though I've been to other such exotic locals such as Shilbottle and Wooler. I hear it is lovely there though. My OH is from Berwick upon Tweed...are you from that area of Northumberland yourself?

I have a friend who will walk up to me, lick the sleeve of my shirt, and then say "We should really get you out of those wet clothes."
Same friend will also say, "Nice shirt, is it felt?" and when the target female says "No," he'll grab a short length of it and rub it and say "It is now."
If he wasn't such an imp, he'd get slapped a lot more often. Fortunately, he's the kind of guy you just sort of have to love and although he's definitely flirting with you when he says it, it doesn't usually creep anybody out.

All time pick up line that I use and make women laugh are:
Excuse me, but I’m new in town, can I have directions to your place?
Usually, girls will laugh and start talking and you know the rest.
Do you have a map? Because I keep getting lost in your eyes.
This line usually will work on blonds
