Okay, you use it, then I'll use it and we'll compare reactions. WOO HOO So that is the pick up line that I get when my ewok is in my pants, har, har, har, I know, I'm sorry. This is my pick up line when my ewok lives under my bed. I'm keeping these two....

Mine was the same Angelina, maybe we should all use it when we go calling on our favorite Pup.

Ok mine is just frightening:

"I may look like an Ewok, but I'm all Wookie where it counts, baby."

I don't know what that means...but I don't think I'll be using it any time soon.

Angelina baby....add to Anon's idea of slipping a note to meet you at 10 at whatever place. Don't introduce yourself. Let him find you. If he was so drunk he won't even remember what you look like, you probably want to pass on that "opportunity" If he's interested, he'll figure it out

I always gave out my office number and would if I was dating again. Better a tracked number at the bank than stalked at home or on my cell. I also NEVER give out a last name. Just a first and the number. If they're worth any time after the third date I might tell them my full name

I once met a guy at a house fire and while we were chatting it up he asked me out, then walked me home (it was a fire in our condo association and no one could get their cars into the complex but we all walked closer to see if it was our condo on fire). That dude was nice to chat with for an hour...but on closer acquaintence...YUCK! He lived with his MOTHER! His priest told him what movies he could watch! BLEH anyhoo, long story short (is it too late for that?) he knew where I lived and "stopped by" constantly. I finally had a male friend who used to hang out at my joint answer the door a few times, (without his shirt the last two...which was funny as heck) and he gave up. Men! NEver tell them where you live, or what your name is and you might have a successful love life

Dawnie, I think you should have married him... He sounds like just what you need.

I did the same thing to a "stalker" I had in college! He was my boss at the time's nephew, and a real class-A DORK. He once showed up at my apartment at 1am to show me the new paint gun he just bought. Anyway, one of our roommates that summer was a 6'3", 225lb guy who was obsessed with working out. And he served double duty as our live-in bouncer. I'd told the dork that I was dating somebody, but never mentioned a name. The dork had never met the roommate before (wasn't home much) so I got him to answer the door one time - shirtless - and give this guy the 3rd degree about what he was doing there and why was he harassing his girlfriend? Worked like a charm.

Due to my size and build, I can't remember how many times I have been asked to do the above while in college. I felt so used

I attended the same college as one of my good female friends from high school, and she lived just across the way in the only all girls dorm on campus (I thought of it as a NICE perk ). Anyway, I became friendly with a lot of her floormates and I would often be asked to pose as so and so's boyfriend for the evening and chase away any predators.

My biggest problem was that I'm pretty much an easy going nice guy, so it's hard for me to look stern and intimidating.

But in a good way, right? Our roommate enjoyed it...a little too much maybe. We would be out at clubs dancing with whoever and if he "didn't approve" he would either literally pick us up and carry us off or just plant himself between us and whatever poor sap we were toying with. I think he was our self appointed big brother. :rolling eyes:

LOL... I think he might just sh!t his pants... I would definately have to bring my camera... Priceless...




He wouldn't know what to do with the three of us...




LOL. Wow, add in Dare2Dream and KCGeoQueen and we're up to five. And just when I'm thinking that I MUST be the man, I find out that my Star Wars pickup line is the same as Maria's....."To Date or Date Not....Let us friends be."

What a letdown. LOL.

I certainly could see the humor in it and I was definitely flattered that *I* was selected to be the model (in the physical sense) boyfriend; however, thankfully, the novelty wore off after freshman year.

Relationships are difficult enough as it is and while sometimes it's refreshing not to have to deal with with the associated drama, to hide behind a "big brother" really does not solve anything. In your case, I would say that it's even worse that your roommate decided he would be a deciding factor in terms of what is allowed and what isn't in terms of relationships. While I understand that platonic relationships can exist in a healthy manner, in many cases, there is that feeling of "hmmmm....". Anytime this is the case, I think there is a little jealousy involved when seeing a friend with a member of the opposite sex, which can be toxic to the relationship.

Perhaps that is why he took his role a little too seriously.

There's a part of me that's sad because this sort of thing still goes on as I wish people could just be honest when it comes to relationships. For some people, it's hard to say "no", which, I think is a problem; however, I think it's difficult to deal with people who don't get the hint when people tell them "no".

Awww Pup - what a bummer on that line... I was let down on mine too - just steal another one

Mark - I can sympathize, and agree, people need to be more honest; however, it never seems to be that way... why is that?

I would love to find someone who was not necessarily "normal" but at least honest... at my age, everyone has a skeleton or two... or three.... or a hundred... so why lie about things... My attitude is if you don't like me for who I am, you aren't going to want to be around in 10 years.... which is probably why I'm single now... arrgh, frustrating!

That is funny. You know, if a guy used that line on me, I would probably go out with him because it is original. This would be a good one to take Fraud

Is it wrong to want to be with someone that you know will hurt you because he is also the only person you feel safe with?




Ok, I'm confused...you know he will hurt you (emotionally? physically?) but yet he is the only person you feel safe with? I don't know how I could feel "safe" with someone who would hurt me.

What are you demonstrating if they do find out you were hurt (in whatever way). It's acceptable to allow someone to hurt you (again, in whatever way) if you have "things"? I don't think so....

Obviously there's a lot more to this situation, if you want to feel free to pm me.

Why is that a letdown. Being friends can be a lot more fun than all the garbage that goes with dating. If we are just friends I can hang out with you and not get fixed up. If we are dating, I have to try and impress you. BORING.

It would never work; you would still have the garbage and it would all be the man's fault. In fact, let's check the highest authority on this: When Harry Met Sally

Harry Burns: You realize of course that we could never be friends.
Sally Albright: Why not?
Harry Burns: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally Albright: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: You only think you do.
Sally Albright: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry Burns: No, what I'm saying is they all WANT to have sex with you.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: How do you know?
Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally Albright: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
Harry Burns: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally Albright: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry Burns: I guess not.
Sally Albright: That's too bad. You were the only person I knew in New York.

Just as I thought, according to THE authority on the issue, it would never work.
