“I used this on my current girlfriend of five years. I sat next to her in public transit with my sound-canceling headphones. A couple of minutes later, I took off my headphones and asked, ‘Sorry, did you say something?’ She said, ‘No’ and I said, ‘Well, it’s not too late to start a conversation.'”
“I told a girl working in a jewelry store that her eyes sparkle more than anything in the store. Yes, it worked, but I was also a lot younger and in better shape then.”
“I had a stuffed animal seal purse. In French, seal is ‘phoque’ (yes, pronounced ‘f—‘). I saw a cute human, threw my purse down on the table, and said ‘Hey, wanna phoque?’ We were together for two years.”
“They came up to me and said something like, ‘Woah! I’d go back inside if I was you. Your brightness is making the sun look dim!’ It was so stupid and I laughed while cringing.”
“One time this guy said, ‘Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears.’ I was blushing for days.”
“Walked up to the girl working the popcorn machine at the place we both worked. I said, ‘Did you make all that popcorn yourself?’ with the biggest, sheepish grin I could muster. A year and a half later we made a baby.”
“As a single girl, I did enjoy the ‘How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice.’ It was silly and got my attention.”
“A stupidly good looking friend of mine said, ‘Can I make breakfast in bed for you tomorrow morning?'”
“A friend and I went to get pizza and, with coupons, we managed to make the bill a $0 charge. The waitress was attractive so he goes up to her with our bill and says, ‘There is a problem with this bill, your number is missing.’ Somehow it worked.”
“This girl on a dating app said she’s a huge Harry Potter fan. I happen to be a tall, beefy, bearded man. I told her, ‘I don’t mean to brag but I’m actually Hagrid’s secret love child.’ We’ve been dating for over two years now.”
“‘On a scale of 10, you’re a nine and I’m the one you need.’ It was originally told as a joke to a woman I met at a bar in Orlando who just couldn’t stop giggling after hearing it. I’d say that the evening that followed would prove it totally worked.”
