Zandria had this interesting post about what people have said to her, and it got me thinking about what people have said to me. Here are some standouts:
1.) "You look better in person"
(During a first meeting from a guy I met through an online dating site.)
2.) "You're hot. Wanna hook up?"
(This is the average modern day pick up line online. Call me old-fashioned but I sure would love to live in a Jane Austen novel and have men court me the way of Mr. Darcy. Man, I love this movie.)
3.) "Is you one of dem dar ornamentals? You sure are purdy."
(Mr.Darcy would not dare utter these words. However, a spit patooning ornery old Texan in the tumbleweeds would. At a diner somewhere near Waco Texas, a collegue and I got lost on the freeway and decided to eat. I didn't react to the toothless old critter who said this to me because we were near Waco, and I thought he might get all hostage on me. I rationed that he was trying to be nice in his own way.)
4.) "Only one?!? Girl you need to be on at least three."
(From a dating pro I met when I told her I have just started doing the online dating thing. I told her I was only on one site, and she told me I needed to "spread myself out" and be on at least three. That's what everyone does apparently. I haven't dated in 4 years. Oh my the Internets have become more complicated.)
5.) "You are very welcome!"
(I was about 10 feet away from the entrance to my gym, and this cute young man in his early 20's held the door open for me until I got to the door. I looked him in the eye and said, "Thank you" and thought "wow! Some Jane Austen chivalry does still exist.)
What are some standout lines people have said to you?
