My best one was a guy years ago (at ice-skating in Queensway) who was totally socially inept who said "I'd love to go out with you, you're not like other girls, your face isn't shaped like a shovel"
That was, I'm told, a compliment
Prompted by Chris’s ‘fess up..’ thread would anyone like to share their best and worse ‘chat-up’ moments? Anything ‘chat-up’ related goes, lines, experiences, successes, blow-outs etc. In fact anything goes full-stop.
The only thing approaching a chat-up that I have/had is ‘Any chance of a drink and a chat?’, nice and safe. Fortunately, I have no experiences with embarrassing ‘put downs-offs’. Of course, now that I have an official ‘McGregster pulling shirt’, ‘Chat-up lines’ have been rendered obsolete

A guy at a dance the other week came up to me, sat down beside me and proceeded to "sell" himself to me, listed what he thought was okay to do and not to do within a relationship, how many times a week we should see each other to start with etc. All through this I said nothing.... I couldn't cos for once in my life I was gobsmacked! When he'd finished, he looked at me, clearly expecting me to fall into his arms with joy. I looked him straight in the eyes and said ..... "sorry, what did you say? I missed that?" He walked off in a huff!Originally posted by Pammy

Why? Can anyone explain to me why? Did I upset him in some way?

Not a chat-up but a date thing, long-story short.
1st date, me and girl. Raining, me in desert-boots (quite snazzy) near the flicks. Cinema, has big marble step outside - raining. Me, feeling silly, tries to show off. hop-skip-jump onto step - raining, desert-boots, marble step- us, puzzled exchange of looks I as I slid past her on my bum (in slow-motion of course), feet in the air, brolly and arms flung-out for balance

Dunno, but you do know dont you - that its ok to meet people on, say, a public forum. You could get chatting, you'd find out what a nice person they are, better than any other guy you've ever met , meet up around 2 or 3 times a week and maybe even share a McDonalds milkshake during week 4. Week 6 would see you sharing the straw and its then acceptable to want to think about marriage and the possibility of rearing socially inept children. My arms are now waiting for you to fall into themOriginally posted by Bardsey

Don't know about milkshakes, it's your wine gums you need to watch, and remember, it's always OUR LAGEROriginally posted by Dreadful Scathe

Boomer, that story made me laugh out loud! Thanks!
As long as that eh? I decided in the summer that I'd had enough of being alone so made a concerted effort and dated about 20 guys (just one date each). I couldn't believe how many talked about serious stuff like living together or marriage on that first date..... needless to say they didn't see me for dust! I've now decided to let fate take its course, if its going to at all! PLEASE, PLEASE Fate, let him be a dancer!!!!Originally posted by Dreadful Scathe

The worst chat-up line ever used on me was at a ceroc venue shortly after I moved back to London and started working. The guy was a regular at my usual weekly venue. He was (and is) a very nice man and I usually had one or two very nice dances with him, and often a chat too, and on one occasion about his adult son (who was the same age as me).
Next week he used, more or less, these immortal words: "I know I'm old enough to be your father, but would you like to go out some time..."
I managed to turn him down politely and (I think) sensitively and still dance with him when I see him. It just seemed an odd way to predispose me to say yes.
As for worst chat up line I've ever used... don't really have one (I'm so terrible when it comes to even speaking to someone I have a crush on, much less trying to chat them up).
Hmm well 'Help me, Toby wan Kenobe. You're my only hope' is more of a plead than a chat-up line really isnt itOriginally posted by Divissima

My prefered chat-up line is 'I know im old enough to be a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and you know...morally i should be. So do you fancy a shag?'
which is of course a perfectly good dance style. reminds me of a joke from 'The Detectives'. ..er..stop me if youve heard it...
To some a shag is a type of bird, to pipesmokers its a type of tobacco, to others its a type of dance, to me its just a remote possibility
Well I thought it was funny ...

It's not quite a chat-up story, but it is true.
I was out with friends couple of months back in an Irish pub. Amongst them was a quiet lady I was fairly taken with, and she offered to get a round in. When she asked me what I wanted her to get, I said in all innocence (but rather loudly, having had a Guinness or 3), "Black Bush, please, and make it a neat one".
She didn't know her malts, but thankfully she did see the funny side...
I did once say to a girl at a 'disco' 'do you come here often' she wasn't impressed. Funny thing her friend married my brother. No I never went out with her and haven't seen her for years and years
In ceroc a couple of girls have asked 'are you dancing here or there etc' I've dated a few over the yrs, so know thats a chat up line ? Unless of course they say 'good I know where you dance I can avoid you now'
I think its sad that in the last 11yrs I have never been single for more then 3 weeks so often don't need to practice any chat up line ?:sorry
Some would say sad, most would say lucky or is that show off unless you were taking the girls perspective ; but then again, there's only room for one Andy McGregor on this forumOriginally posted by stewart38

After a 3 minute dance with a man in a strange town one Monday at the beginning of November, he uttered just 2 words. "Marry me" I grinned happily for days over that one. I was very flattered.
Whoever you were, thank you. It made my night and I'm still boasting about it. Errrrrr.................I hope that's not his regular chatup line
