How to go home alone in 3 minutes
If I had to judge by my own experience, I’d have to conclude that all pickup lines are unsuccessful. Then again, some are more unsuccessful than others:
“Yes, you know I’ve never met anyone like you. But I have to say, as attracted as I am to you, I just don’t think it’s going to work out. I’ve got too much going on in my life right now, okay?”
Torn between feeling flattered and freaked out, I shook my head and replied: “Yeah, sure. Whatever.”
Then I took a couple of steps away. I just got rid of my last stalker a couple of months ago and I don’t think I’m up for that kind of drama again.
“No, I mean it,” he said. “But, hey, we can have a few drinks together, right?”
What is this? Reverse psychology with a half-gainer? This wouldn’t even work on the likes of me, let alone a grown-up lady like VK.
Addendum: Then again, he probably wasn’t actually talking to her.

My fave line with about a 62% success rate is “I bet you’ve never had a decent orgasm.” Even the favorable reactions are fierce.

I could swear I left a comment here last night…about a foolproof deterrent line…or was I sleeping already?

My reaction to that scenario would be similar to my reaction when a telemarketer calls me up and then asks me to “hold, for an important message.” But maybe with more running and screaming.
