The Latest (not so) Greatest Pick-Up Lines

I turn off the chat features option on the dating sites I'm on.  I prefer to have someone actually view my profile and try to engage in correspondence that takes a tiny bit more effort.  Of course, I still get endless messages in my inbox that simply say "Hi", "Hey" or "How's it goin'".  All which drive me nuts.

Some guys are a bit more, I guess, creative.  (I use creative very generously.)  In that they say more than hi.  But they still just send one sentence.  Most of which still make me cringe.  I guess these would classify as pick-up lines.  Except that they're being sent over a dating site rather than said in person at the bar.

The other day, "nubeginin" wrote to ask me,

"Should we do dinner tonight?"

Not sure whether he's clever and kind of joking or if he's serious and moving way too fast.  At least it wasn't a complete turn off.

Yesterday "Icanfly13" told me,

"you`re a delicious looking woman"

So I guess he wants to have me for dinner.

Then there's another user who said to me,

"I'd take you down roads I've never been."

Which truly just sounds scary to me.

Lesson to the men out there: pick-up lines still don't work.
