I wouldn't Recognise A Chat Up Line If It Slapped Me In The Face!

Hello ellie, I love chatting with my friends but I have no idea about it.Maybe there are terms or phrases that means other way around,But, I remember the first time I was chatting, I didn't understand when someone will say ctc,asl,lol and some shortcuts..LOL!

A man in a pub once walked up to my sister and said "hello. I'm John Smith" and walked away. Ten minutes later he came up to her and said "Haven't we met before. Can I buy you a drink?" How about: "Have you a plaster? because I hurt my knee falling for you." Of course compliments often do the trick - or did when I was younger. Heck, it's all a long time ago now. I don't think that I'd know how to chat up a woman today. I'd just have to be me and live the life of a celibate, lonely (dirty) old man. LOL.

Hi Doll I've been around the block a time or two way back when but I still can not be of much help because I'm being told something similar...My kids have told me a number of times that I am being flirted with. xoxoxoxoxxo

Ellie..you are going to have to educate me too when you learn since i wouldn't know anymore either..My daughter said the same thing to me and since i've been out of the dating scene for a 100 yrs, someone probably would be interested and i'd still just think he was being nice too!..LOL...help..I need help!!

Ellie, I'm afraid I am in the naive corner along with you! I spent a merry afternoon chatting to the carpenter who was working in the garden next door to my boyfriend's place whilst he was at work. As I was new to the area, didn't speak the language and on my own all day I was thrilled to bits when he suggested showing me the area one afternoon. BAD IDEA!!! I really, really hadn't realised that it was a come on. It was quite flattering actually as he was quite a lot younger than me, but eventually I had to get my boyfriend to start answering my phone for me

We call that "pick up lines" here in the states! I would not recognize one either, although I do wonder at times if someone is flirting or interested! Friendship first, please! I want to be able to trust someone completely before I start dating!

LOL Awww Ellie I hope you didn't blank the advances of a handsome hunk! I have heard some humdingers in my time - especially working behind a bar - not just aimed at me but heard them being used on women customers by some of the guys and ended up helpless with laughter! Let me think of some just now.... Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again? Should we chat or do you want to keep flirting from afar? Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Love your outfit - it would look good on my bedroom floor! and I think the worst is one I heard on tv last night Excuse me is that a mirror in your pants cos I can see myself in them! lol xxx

hahahaha.... you are a dahling! Pick up lines are just to cheesy and obvious. How can you not get it! Never mind. I get you need to take a lesson on this. lol... Well, here's one for you: Hey I just realized this, but you look alot like my next girlfriend. Or how about: Be unique and different, just say yes.

Hi Ellie-am home at last!!! When in Glastonbury there was this guy about my age staying at the hotel granted it was his firm who was footing his bill as he was working there but most nights he kept buying me drinks and chatting to me about himself as they all do-i thought he was being friendly at first but came to realize he was chatting me up!! Did I avoid him as much as I could but then he asked me when I was leaving which was the following day he then stooped and gave me a kiss on the cheek was not happy there is only one other person I let do that-my partner as you know-boy was I happy when he said he was going to bed straight after and thankfully had left the following morning early for work so Ii could have my breakfast in peace-blessed be littleowl

Ahhhh i wish if some one do that to me i wonder why its always me to do that LOL

Don't ask me about them Ellie, I've seen my share of nonsense, doubletalk and utter crap in this regard too. Supposedly, "signals" (non-verbal of course -_-) are the key! But in the real world, said signals get misinterpreted easily. It can be far worse if the person isn't coming on to you and you react to it the wrong way, especially for guys.

Well, I'm not sure what to say. I've been told I'm a terrible flirt, but actually I'm pretty good at it; or I used to be. I haven't even tried flirting with anyone in ages (except here on the 'net, and that's a little different). Sorry I'm not being much help here, but all those "skills" are rather rusty, I'm afraid.

Been there and done that. I had to learn to listen to the"vibes" of people I met. It took practice, though. Just don't say "yes" to anything that feels the least bit uncomfortable. Trust your gut.

Is that what they call it? Here's it's flirting and guys do that stuff all the time. Not with me, cause I'm VERY married and make sure they know it. I don't like it when random strangers hit on me or flirt with me. I don't want to get into that. My spouse doesn't like it either. I suppose that if I were single that would make me very very flattered, indeed, assuming it was a guy that I liked!

i am not taht much into chat and all. so its raelly hard to say anything new. But i do not even can guess what this line want to say. those are more familiar who are regular on chat.

Well I would rely more on my woman’s instincts than any previous experience. Since your and my mother tongue are different, I cant really elucidate my point, but whenever a guy is chatting up or acting smart, I understand. Basically I have seen all guys are same in such matters…it doesn’t really matter from which strata of the society they are coming from or their age. BTW while typing my response, I suddenly remembered a guy here in Mylot. He’s from India too and on my friends list. His age says he’s about 10 years younger than me. Well after the initial hello and welcome, he started PM-ing me about almost everything under the sun. my likes, dislikes, my job, details of my job, how many members in my family, age of my son etc. While these are OK till a certain level, the way he was probing, got me feeling uneasy. Just the other day, he wanted to know my date of birth. I have no problems is saying its 1st of September…that should suffice for any friend, but his next question was ‘what year’…now this is when a start getting an uncanny feeling, this is what I feel about ‘chatting up’. There are many more instances which I have face in real life, in some I have flirted, in some I knew when to stop at what line. I hope you will put yours instincts to work and try and understand it your own way…if not, what are teenage daughters for!

Hi there Ellie :))) I am assuming we are talking about flirting right? I have a pretty flirtatious nature and will 9 times out of 10 instigate the "chat up". all perfectly harmless fun on my part let me assure you. Its fun, harmless and most of the time just of a friendly nature. This was cute reading your post and I got a bit of a giggle from it.

I've heard some very cheesey ones. "Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again"? is one of my favorites. Another one is, "You should be arrested, because it must be a crime to look that good." I don't know if anyone actually falls for them or not, but I know I wouldn't.

I probably wouldn't recognize one either! LOL....And I'll have to check back on the responses so I learn something! LOL
