“Hey. You are fucking adorable! But! Hold your proverbial horses.
I’m not sold yet. All it means is I see an opportunity to meet someone I might like, but I want to get to know you some before making that decision.
What I’ll do is I’ll make a list of all your good qualities on one side and all your annoying habits on the other and then balance it out.
And you should do the same.
So what do you do for fun girl? Do you sing, do you dance, do you write?”

This is quite frankly the weirdest fucking thing I’ve ever read in my life. It’s so try-hard and scripty it’s just so out of whack with reality. It’s not even human. And it’s funny that guys actually buy into the bullshit like this.

First of all, don’t say “You are FUCKING adorable”. What is that? I think one of Eric Disco’s friends said that in an interview once. sounded so weird to me. BradP I believe it was?

And this: “So what do you do for fun girl? Do you sing, do you dance, do you write?” sounds like something Lee would say.

Now this might work for those guys. But pickup should be different for everybody. I’ll say this once and I’ll say this again:

USE YOUR OWN LINES.

I want to vomit when people rehash scripts. I truly do. I’ll make a post about opening.
