What's the most ridiculous thing you've said whilst trying to chat someone up?

A few actual lines used by yours truly (now thankfully settled down and therefore retired from something I was clearly terrible at!):

- Walking up to strangers and spouting song lyrics such as 'if I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?'; 'are you lonesome tonight?'; 'tonight baby, I wanna get freaky with you'; 'I've noticed you around... I find you very attractive... Would you go to bed with me?'; and of course 'i'll tell you what i want, what i really really want...'.

- I've actually turned round sharply to an attractive person and said 'WHAT did you just say to me?'. They then protested their innocence, I came up with a bizzare way in which I misheard them, we laugh together... amazingly this actually worked.

- Finally, I once told someone I could read palms, then proceeded to legitimately identify their heart line, life line and head line, before announcing that they had a rare 'baby seal clubbing line' which meant that this person (a very lovable and caring sort) derived satisfaction from hurting small fluffy animals. They were most put out, but realised I had a sense of humour (if you can call it that...) and they were charmed.

The latter person is now engaged to me and we're getting married next year!

You see - nothing is too ridiculous. In fact, the less seriously you take yourself the greater the chance of success.

I met a 6ft 5 chap in a bar, on one very boozy night out with the girls, and our eyes met across the smoke filled room. He held my gaze and walked towards me. When we got talking, it turned out he was an electrician. Well, I just happen to be the judge on a panel that presents awards to the electrical industry, so I took his hand in mine and uttered the corniest line in history: "At the next awards , I think I will have to enter you for the category of electrician with the biggest hands," I had a very dirty look on my face and I'm afraid my mother wouldn't approve of what happened next. Unfortunately, he won first prize for being a top arsehole instead.

So are you a nun 24/7?

I got my knob out and said get your laughing gear round that

"My Name is Peter Parker, and your name would be?" when I had my mask on. Not my finest day.

Are you pregnant?.

Big mistake........

Do you want to be?.

It made a lot of people laugh!.

I escaped unscathed........
