Remember when you had a mobile phone with a keypad and had to type your cheesy pickup lines in short-hand? Like, “xup dear?”, “hyd luv?”, “sory, I got ur number 4rm my friend”, “hbd”, and the rest.
Okay, so that’s a slightly unrelated but funny memory.
What I need you to remember are those pick-up lines you used before you found your significant other(s). Or the ones you are still using, for those in singledom (or those looking to expand their union lol). Yeah, those very corny lines you stole from classic movies, songs and bible verses. The ones that still force out an embarrassed smile when you think of all the people you used them on.
Don’t recall? Okay. I’m feeling generous today so I’ll share a few of mine.
Caveat: I didn’t make most of these moves personally. Some were overheard or witnessed. But I’ll let you guess which ones were mine and which ones are not. (Of course, bearing in mind how much of a cool guy Folarin is.)
Here goes…
1.
Guy: Heyyy ma, you dropped something
Girl: What?
Guy: Your phone number
Girl: *Hisses and walks off*
2.
Guy: I don’t normally do this, but I got your number from my friend. I think you’re really…
Girl: *Giggles* Give the number back to your friend. *Goes ahead to block said friend*
3.
Girl: Do you play basketball?
Guy: Yup, what’s up?
Girl: Nice, are you good? I think we should play
Guy: Haha, sure thing. *Gives her phone number but friend-zones after she plays badly*
4.
Guy: *Stutters out of anxiety* Did you fall from…
Girl: *Laughs* Oga, just ask for the number you want to ask for…
Before you think you can’t relate, go back to your old Facebook messages or search your memory for the silliness you had assumed was wittiness back in the day.
But hey, no judging.
Feel free to share your funniest, worst or most interesting pick-up experiences and tell us the reactions you got.
Let the experiences roll in!
