The down-and-dirty guide to dating: Pick-up lines



Dear men,

Follow this advice: pick up lines are always iffy--so use them sparingly. Why? Because they backfire at an alarming rate. Sometimes they are so bad we remember them and discuss them with our friends. Yes we do. We here at Shine have heard some pretty sorry ones, ("Is that dress felt? Well it ought to be," etc) but the ladies from Frangela (Angela V. Shelton and Frances Callier) have a couple of doozies to share with you.




In our first installment of the "Down-and-dirty guide to dating" we explore the slippery slope of questionable opening lines. Ladies, watch these two videos and let us know if you've heard worse. And to prove we can help a brother out please let us know which, if any, have worked on you and hopefully-maybe-just one guy will read this and put the good ones to use and the bad, beer-fueled, frat-boy lines to rest.

Until then, men friends, why not just use the simple, direct and charming-enough: "Hi my name is...."?
