Drop a line... and get hooked


She’s just jogged by you and left your mind in a whirl. He’s sitting across the room looking drop-dead handsome. But you can’t think straight because your knees are buckling under you and your brain won’t function.

Well, weak knees are a good sign. Really. Use it to get down on one knee... and PROPOSE!

Preferably, avoid using the same dialogues everyone else does. Use humour instead. It always works.

Go through the lines below and chose the ones that will make you a real hit...

The witty ones:
    1. Look at the label on his / her shirt / jeans and then say: "Oh, I thought you were made in heaven!"
    2. "If I designed the alphabet, I'd put U and I together."

    3. "Did you notice there are fewer stars in the sky tonight?"
    "Really?"
    "Yup, because a lot of them are in your eyes."

    4. "Did you get hurt?"
    "When?"
    "When you fell down from heaven?"

    5. "Excuse me, do you have a mobile phone I can use? I told my Mum I’d
    call her when I fell in love!"

The charming ones:
    1. "I lost my phone number, could I borrow yours?"

    2. "Are your feet tired?"
    "No, why?"
    "Because you've been running through my mind all night (week / day / evening)."

    3. "Is it hot in here or is it just you?"

    4. "You look familiar. Haven’t we met in a past life?"

And the run-of-the-mill stuff:
    1. "Hello." ("Hi!" will work just as well)

    2. "I’d like to get to know you better..."

    3. "Do you come here often?"

    4. "What’s your star sign?"

    5. "Nice outfit, that colour really suits you."
