I post this every now and then. I thot I'd do it now....

GOTHIC PICKUP LINES

Edited by Bob

These are a bunch of pick-up lines which seem to a be a recurring thread on the alt.gothic news group. I've added commentary as to which worked and how. You're gonna have to match up the commentary to the lines yourself 'cos I'm to lazy to do it now. Sorry. It works fine on the HTML version.

LISTS OF LINES

Erika's top thirteen pick-up lines

Many of these are from non-goth guys. Because they tend to be the most amusing. . .

       13) You remind me of my dead ex-girlfriend.
       12) Do you think I could borrow that dress/bustier sometime? 
       11) I found this [lace glove, rosary, etc.] on the floor at the
           club last night, is it yours? Well, if it's not, I'd like to
           give it to you anyway.
       10) Is that your boyfriend? I think you can do better than that! 
           (some poser from Ottawa with New York City attitude) 
       9) So, are you a catholic? (non-goth) 
       8) So, are you a satanist? (goth) 
       7) So, are you a goth? (neither) 
       6) How do you get your hair to do that? / Can you cut my hair 
          like that? 
       5) Oh, yeah, [band name] is really great. . . I have all their 
          rare stuff.
          You can come over to my place and tape it all if you want. 
       4) You look a lot like. . .[choose one: Winona Ryder, Siouxsie
          Sioux, Morticia, Elvira, Robert Smith, Edward Scissorhands] 
              To which you should answer: No, actually, he/she/it
              looks a lot like me.
       3) I keep all of my most important poems and drawings in this 
          little book. And I'd like you to have it because they're
          mostly about you. (Really cute, lovesick 18 year old goth boy) 
       2) Greetings... [bows deeply, tips hat]. I'm Bob. 

              And the Drumroll please..... The award for most
              hilarious attempted pick-up of a goth chyck goes to this
              frat boy:

       1) "Excuse me, miss? Hi, I'm doing a scavenger hunt for my fraternity 
          rush, and one of the things on my list is a umm....weird chick.

          And if I don't get one soon, they won't let me pledge... 

          So, if you're not busy, could you come with me to the rush
          party tonight?? I'd really appreciate it."

Well, not being one to respond enthusiastically to overtly sexual
come-ons, but trying to find some common topic of interest, the following
"lines" have worked on me.

   1."Pardon me, but my corset has come unlaced. Could you tighten it for
      me?"
      Footnote: Generally asking a man for any kind of assistance makes
      him feel needed, and appreciated: the key to any type of relationship
   2."Have you heard of this band before?" (at shows, or record stores) 
   3."Although you seem content, you also seem quite alone over here.
      Can I interrupt your reverie?" 
   4."Hi, aren't you [insert any ficticiuos name here]?"

The ones I prefer are the one's women who picked me up would use... 
   1.Did you know you look just like Clint Ruin (aka Jim Thilwell)? 
   2.If your cheekbones were any higher they'd need warning lights. 
   3.I'd like to tie you to a rafter and fuck you up and down. 
   4.Would you please come home with me and tie me up... 
   5.And my all time favorite was at this party. I had just shown up and
      this foot gothic amazon goddess came up to me and said... "You're
      mine" and walked away. 3 hours later she came up to me and said
      "Let's go". I didn't get out of her house for four days. I couldn't walk
      right for another three. It was a good week...

      affection?"
