Ah, I love the flush that comes on my cheeks from drinking wine with OhMyPassion.
We're sitting here with our college roommate - let's call her Abbey - doing a little bit of girly catch-up. Would you expect any less from us?
Abbey recently broke up with her on-again off-again boyfriend, and, of course, has boys falling at her feet, but is not crazy about any of them. Mostly it's because, like many gentlemen in this world of ours, unfortunately use the worst lines or act wayyyy cooler than they are and/or try wayyyy harder to impress us than necessary.
Come on, guys, we can see right through you.
One particular gentleman took Abbey out on a date. She was excited and surprised that he took her out on a legit date - it so rarely happens these days - at a forreal restaurant with forreal conversation. Except in the conversation she felt stilted because she felt like he was trying to be too fancy. You know, she curses a bit, she likes to quote movies like Superbad - her pet bunny's name is McLovin - and Pineapple Express and is an all-around fun-loving, down-to-earth gal. He, on the other hand, was over-enunciating his words, tried to order for her, and she could see through his pretending-to-be-cool-ness.
So, naturally, she didn't want to continue seeing him and stopped returning his calls.
But he kept calling and leaving voicemails (pshhh how passe!). And get this, ladies, his most recent one was:
"I haven't heard from you...it's been a while. Heh... I don't want to have to erase you from my phone book but..."
Clearly, as Passion just put it, he was trying to get a rise out of her and act way cooler than he really his. However, it's so clear that she's above him. She obviously cares less.
"I'm crying on the inside. He can give that phone book position to another Abbey, " Abbey just said. Oh how I love her sarcasm.
What are the worst lines you have heard, on or off voicemail?
Cheers to Saturday night, wine and good girlfriends!

After listening to Abbey talk about this ridiculous line, and started thinking about it, I came to this totally depressing realization:
I think I, myself, may have sadly used a couple of these "I'm pretending you like me more than I like you when really I like you more than you like me" lines on guys. Ugh. Never again.
EXCEPT with a guy named Matt who I tried to date at the beginning of junior year. I think one time he even came right out and said he's used to getting a lot of attention from girls. Which, of course, made me want to give him less attention. Which is what Abbey ended up doing with the guy.
Take a hint, fellas!
Worst Pick Up Line:
I had a guy walk into Ann Taylor to ask me the time. Then he said he didn't really need the time. He just wanted to talk to me. "Did I go to Ann Taylor a lot?"
(Answer--Only when I was shopping for work clothes.)
Guys--at least have more of a plan that THAT.
This guy that Abbey went on a date with sounds.. VERY.. not my type. I guess different strokes for different folkes is what makes the world go around. Some other girl probably DID like him.
Haha I'm sure he's actually a LOT of girl's types. Specifically, I would assume Goodness and Fancy would have LOVED a date like that. Just guessing ;)
Laughter - "do you have the time?" is actually one of my dream pick-up lines. I've come thisclose to using it before. How else do you approach a total stranger on the street who is just soooo dreamy?
