Last night on my way to Target, I decided to stop by the gas station to fill up my car. I was rocking my workout gear, my hair was pulled back, and I wasn’t wearing a stitch of make-up. Shockingly, I caught the eye of some random guy. He decided to approach me – with what I’m assuming was one of his “best” pickup lines. I fully rolled my eyes at him as he asked me to roll my widow down. Then he blurted out…..”can I pump your gas for a date?” I just stared at him kinda dumbfounded it. I had already pumped my gas and gotten back in my car, prepared to drive off. This got me to thinking. How many other women get annoyed with cheesy pickup lines? Do men even think about what their going to say or do they just spew out whatever comes to mind?
Here are a few of my favorite “worst” pick-up lines that men have used on me. Please share some of your favorites. Maybe we can draft up a cease and desist order to STOP men from using these sad and corny lines. Nine times out of ten just saying “Hi” or “My name is”…. will get the job done and get the women’s attention.
1. “Can I pump your gas for a date?”
2. “Are you ready to go to the next level?” (I’m still not sure what level he was referring to.)
3. “I’m here. You don’t have to wait any longer.”
4.”Where you been?” (That’s all I got. He didn’t say anything else.)
5. “If I were 60 years younger, I would give those young bucks a run for their money.” (The man was 80 years.)
6. “Hey girl, I see you. Don’t walk past me like you don’t want this.”
7. “Girl, you look better than a 2 piece and a biscuit.” (Being compared to food is NEVER a good idea.)
8. “You are really pretty. Can I talk to you? I’m not American.” (side note – this guy continued to follow me in the mall while riding his skateboard.)
9. “I usually only talk to lighter skin women but you are beautiful and I would be willing to talk to you?” (I guess I’m suppose to be flattered, since my skin color is outside his color wheel.)
10. “Just give me your number or I’ll kick you in your neck.” (This one is just confusing. Violence is NEVER an attractive quality. No women is interested in dating Ike Turner)
