In this world of smart-phones, tablets, and wifi technology: Does the Internet now rule our life? Is old fashioned spoken communication now totally irrelevant or has it been adapted for use online?
We ask, do those old fashioned chat up lines still work?
Women like a guy with a good sense of humour, and a good chat-up line can be a great way of displaying that you have one and breaking the ice.
Let’s look at a few – new and old as suggested by some members of The Adult Cafe: The adult dating site where "you are on a promise."
- I seem to have lost my phone number. Can I have yours?
- You're so beautiful that you made me stop looking at my phone!
- If you make me your friend on Facebook I will “Like You.”
- Send me a text with your number on it and I will keep my phone next to my heart. Or: in my trousers depending on the girl.
- I'm sorry; I don't think we've met; I never forget a beautiful face. (Better not to look at her boobs while you are saying this.)
- Amazing! Your lipstick is the same colour as my Porche.
All chat up lines spoken face to face need to be delivered with humour and a bit of bravery. We all like someone who is not too serious. Here are a few more, from the members of Naughty Over Fifty (can you believe it), that really do need a bit of courage.
- When I first saw you something buzzed in my trousers – I thought it was my phone at first.
- What a nice dress! - Can I talk you out of it?
- Wow! I love your low-cut dress – I can hardly look you in the eye.
- Just thought I would let you know – your bum looks amazing in that dress.
- I think I could fall madly in bed with you.
- Are you sure you don’t recognise me? Don’t you ever watch porn on the Internet!
How about when you are online, maybe using the chat system on an online dating site or writing your profile? How are you going to stand out from the crowd? You have to sell yourself a little, but you mustn't be too serious. We talk about this in detail soon, but for the moment here are a couple of humorous ideas: You might be a little over weight - you can't say your fat, so what about something like, "I am a slim man inside a cuddly body; "People tell me I have an arresting personality, but I never managed to get a job as policeman." You sort of get the idea. Check out "great ideas for a dating profile" page, where we cover the subject in more detail.
