Well, I'm new around here... but what the hell... can't resist this hilarious discussion.

My favorite pickup line back when I used to actually try to pick girls up (married now) was to just walk right up to a girl and say, "Will you marry me?" with a slight but sincere smile. When I was lucky, she would actually look at me and say, "No." At which point I would sigh and say, "OK, will you sleep with me?" And when I was lucky she might laugh and say, "No." At which point I would say, "OK... will you at least have a drink with me?"

Actually worked a few times. Led to some nice relationships. Sigh.
