Yo! It's your favorite Taichi Nanao. (Formerly ~wanwan! I'm going for a cooler image!) I hope everyone's happy and healthy. It looks like Iris is starting. Good luck, Irises... there sure are so many cute people going around this time of the month.

I need a little help!

What are everyone's favorite pick-up lines? Giving or receiving. Let's hear them!

Ah! What an unusual username. I suppose that is indeed very cool in its own way

What is a pick-up line?

[arf]

It's my name, but written with 3 languages! Pretty cool huh?

[ ..Taichi, emoji and numbers are not different languages. It's just one butchered, and spelling his own name wrong by adding a H. ]

A pick-up line is like something you say that gets someone interested to hang out with you like for dates and stuff.

[wearingguess]

So you have used multiple orthographies to turn your own name into a secret code that few others could possibly unravel... That is incredibly cool!!


Hmm

So then, for example
"Let's go on a date" is a pick-up line?
Or is there more to it?

[arf]

THANK YOU! See you get it!
Maybe I should start telling people it's code instead so they have to figure it out... like a riddle.. that could be an intriguing way to present myself. σ(￣、￣〃)(・・・)

That's a really simple one, but if you start off like that it's a little too strong, right? So something creative and funny is best!

[wearingguess]

Yes! It is incredibly mysterious and puzzling, and many people love puzzles.

So a pick-up line is
a funny and creative way to make someone want to date you, but you must avoid directly stating that you would like them to date you?
Is the object to trick them into saying it first?

[arf]

Other people keep saying it's dumb, so I'm really glad someone appreciates it!

Nono, you can ask them eventually, but you have to get them interested first! It's like a hook!

[wearingguess]

I am at a loss. Please give me an example.

[arf]

Like this one would work for math nerds:
Are you a calculator? I need you to check my work, I think you and I add up!

[wearingguess]

Ah
Hmm
I believe I might understand, at least a little.
But
"Add up" is a bit vague, isn't it? What is it we add up to? Any number can be added to any other, so that by itself means little...
What if you said, "Do you have a protractor? I want you to take my measure; I think we might be complementary!"

...Or is that taking the metaphor too far?

[arf]

I don't get it.

[ TAICHI IS DUMB, SORRY. ]

[wearingguess]

Oh!
Well
If it doesn't make sense after all, then
perhaps I still haven't grasped the concept.

[arf]

Hm.. well, I'm not good at math either, so it's probably not your fault. It's too high level.

[wearingguess]

Well then
I suppose if nothing else, we both know that we should avoid mathematical analogies when trying to pick up one another!
