Worst. Pick up. Line. EVER
I sometimes manage to surprise myself with my utter stupidity and complete lack of flirting skills. Actually, sometimes I am so bad at flirting that I just wonder how come I’m not a virgin anymore. Honestly, I suck – and here is my latest example of absolute rubbish flirting.I was out with one of my friends to grab a bite to eat and we were silently sitting at a table, having nothing to do. A chick – that type of girl who thinks about herself that she’s the top of the world – who was sipping from a diet Coke at a nearby table started to giggle at the stuff me and my fried were saying – we were indeed telling some funny stuff and we started to do our best when we noticed she was paying attention.
So we kept talking for a few more minutes, she kept giggling and we were getting ready to introduce ourselves to her, when she makes the second step, too. She says to me something like: “I see you’re into sports. Do you know when the Olympic Games start?” (just to make things clear: we were indeed talking about sports).
I know, not the most clever thing to say, but she’s a girl and she took the initiative – something girls rarely do. But my utter stupidity, lack of concentration and experience, as well as COMPLETELY wrong idea about what flirting means, resulted in this answer: “I have no idea, but I’d start some Olympics with you right now”.
She didn’t slap me, but my friend almost punched me. Instantly I realized how rude that was – what a horrendous, pitty pick-up line or follow-up line or whatever flirting related thing… I was nothing but an a$$hole.
Honestly now, for everybody reading – I’m not like that. It just happened to me now. I was feeling cool and though I should act cool. However, I just proved a complete lack of style and that costed me dearly – otherwise I would’ve been bust doing it right now...

Not the worst pick line I've ever heard, but its in the top 10 :-P
It could have been worse, you could have got more Olympic-specific
"I'll pole vault over you!"
or similar triple jump, high dive and/or breast stroke references.
Hilarious! I'm running out and trying this line on people later. Freakin awesome!
Yep, you blew it. For you AND your friend.
Won't do that one again, will ya? ;)
Mate, that's not the worst ever - even though I hope it was. ;) I know how frogs can leap out of your mouth if you're not prepared, and you probably would have gotten a giggle out of me with that line... well, at least you managed at it now. It's always refreshing to know that guys know when they're saying the wrong thing - even if it was on hind sight. ;)
Wow! You're lucky you walked away from that one.
Live and learn, right?
The Natural State Hawg
LOL. I know how it feels sometimes we say things that should be kept in our minds. That line is one like what Ive used before, and yeah doesnt work, ever. Anyways good try and good luck.
It was a gret read. I love your style here. I just discovered this blog of your from Lynn where shelisted her top ten droppers and your blog was listed. You write so cool. I am a girl but I want to learn how...well.. uhmmm.. i dunno how to put it but well, i love reading here! Haha
You are not a Virgin anymore and You Suck! That is the coolest thing I know! Bravo... What is the ending of the story? It is still hanging to me.. what the girl did? Well, what you really meant with Olympics anyway? When You asked her? ^_^
Haha, I never thought this would draw so much attention to me :) Now I really feel ashamed for sharing my utter stupidity :) But anyway, I truly promise I'll do my best and never blow things up again. But with this... since we can't turn back the hands of time, this will stay. Now excuse me, I gotta hide :)
LO! You were as subtle as an stampede of elephants! :)
I don't know what i could have done to u if i were the girl. But hey, i had fun reading your post. (",)
LOL! I think that's hilarious, it would've worked for me!
"only if a marathon of ping-pong is on the agenda" (haha, that's a crappy comeback..)
Not at all crappy! At least it would've saved the day and make me feel less embarassed :)
