  • The Perfect Pick-Up Line 2.0

    I’m sitting at Panera Bread with Nathan Holman, wondering how to best help him find the right woman. Well, maybe I’m not so concerned about the right woman as he is. I just wanted to see if I could play a part in it. So I brainstormed (yes, this is what I do with my spare minutes), and came up with a killer idea.

    Pick-Up lines are so last decade. It’s time for the pick-up line to step into the 21st Century. So here’s the plan:

    Step 1: Pick out the woman in a cafe (take your time: find one suitable to your tastes)

    Step 2: Make sure she’s not wearing a ring (that’s always a mood killer)

    Step 3: Get your camera phone ready for a picture

    Step 4: Plan your route to the restroom strategically for at least two strafing runs

    Step 5: Take her picture

    Step 6: Return to your laptop

    Step 7: Write a blog about the most beautiful woman sitting in your cafe, how you asked her out on a date, she said yes, and they both lived happily ever after (the details here can be your own)

    Step 8: Add the picture you took

    Step 9: Post the blog with her photo

    Step 10: Pick up your laptop

    Step 11: Carry it over to her table

    Step 12: Set it down gently in front of her

    Step 13: Calmly take your seat across the table

    Step 14: Smoothly swivel your laptop to face her

    Step 15: Say to her, “Hi, I’m ____. I was wondering if you could make this come true”

    Step 16: Get her number

    See how easy that was?!?!?!? You stud, you. Rinse and repeat.

    If she happens to look horrified that you took her picture without her consent and she makes a move to call the police to grab a random blunt object from her purse, grab your computer and run like hell!
