Tried and True Pickup Line:
J: I’ve never used a pickup line before! I would probably forget. Never mind, I know what it is… it’s long though. ‘Imma get my friends, you get your friends, We can be friends, do this every weekend.’
B: Girls actually use pickup lines on us. I mean the best pickup line is ‘Hey, I don’t know your name, but excuse me miss, I saw you from across the room.’ Actually, I speak Spanish – Mami que linda? Tienes novio? Que es tu numero de telefono?
