The Evolution of my Pick Up Lines
As I read through other blogs, I have to say I loved this post about the Evolution of Subtleties by Wendy Blackheart.
So I created my own “evolution” of trying to hit on people. You know, at that point where you REALLY want to hook up with someone (whatever that definition of hook up means to you at the time). This is not the approaching people; none of the “so, where do you get your ink done” or “what do those cards mean to you?” This is the “ok, so now that we’re talked a lot/have been dating for a while/just need to have sex” pick up line.
Here is my evolution:
In High School: Hey, want to come watch a movie in my basement? (READ: come over, watch a movie we’ll never actually see because we’re making out the whole time)
College: Hey, want to go to a coffee shop, and wander around the local awesome sex toy shop? (READ: coffee is good for conversation, and if you can’t handle me in a sex toy shop, you can’t handle me. And if you can, it’s good foreplay and we can learn about what each of us likes)
Grad school: Want to come over and see my awesome collection/trunk of sex toys and/or porn? (READ: Come over, look at what I have, tell me what you’re into, and then let’s get it on!)
Current: So, um, what initial would you like to be on my sex blog? (READ: I’m going to write about you, regardless. I’d rather write about us having good communication and hot sex, but otherwise, I’m going to just write to process shit. So choose a letter, damn it!)
Granted, these are not used 100% of the time, and occasionally, I’ve used both. Also, I’ve totally gone to sex toy stores, and shared my sex toy collection with people I didn’t want to fuck. So it’s not completely accurate…but it’s as close as you’ll get.
And I’m am highly amused by this. If only it worked more often ;) I guess at least they’re still better than your stereotypical and tradition pick up lines!
What does your evolution look like?

I like your list. I’m nowhere cool enough to have a stash of come-on lines. My process is too organic (read: kinda lame) so, you know, something to aspire to.
But I laughed pretty hard, so thanks for that.

Well, I don’t know if they’re *quite* a stash of come ons, rather than me just not being creative, but I’m glad I made you laugh.
