Love, is a marathon. That's why you get so tired so fast of everyone. Slow down and face yourself. Cause when it's good, it's is a long, open road. You're exhausted, always comming down, trying to come up for air, trying to act like you just don't care. Love is a marathon...

What are the chances?

Okay--question. Do guys really think pick up lines like these work?
Sidenote: These are all current (in the last month) lines that have been used on myself...All girls are victims of lines as bad as these...

~At Starbucks~
Barista: I've seen you in here before.
Me: I usually come in after work every couple of days.
Barista: Ohhhh yah! Where do you work again?
Me: At a golf course in the city.
Barista: Right! I remember now.
Me: *thinks to self*...no you don't, I've never talked to you before.
Barista: So would you like to come by here say around ten when I close? We can, 'hit a bucket of balls'.

~At the Gym~
Guy: So you're a basketball player eh?
Me: *thinks* Well not very original, but I'll give him credit for trying to start a conversation. *says* Yes, I like the game.
Guy: So you must be good with balls then?

~While landscaping today~
Me: *weeding*
Guy: Hey--do you want to see something swell?

~At Staples~
Me: *browsing for CD storage system*
Guy: What can I help you with?
Me: Oh--I am just browsing for some CD storage, thanks!
Guy: You should look at computers, we have a special today.
Me: *thinks* Okay, if I hear his speel he'll hopefully leave. *says* Oh really--what's the special?
Guy: We have a sale on hard drives if you like, our harddrives aren't 3.5 nor are they floppy.

Now this one, I used on my good friend Lisa--I have to admit it's bad, but I managed to pull it off without laughing.

~On the way out to the bar~
Lisa: How do I look?
Me: Those clothes are very becomming on you, then again if I was on you, I'd becomming too!

*laughs hysterically*

These are just some of the ones I remember off the top of my head. This then reminds me of part in the movie "Hitch"...

Hitch (Will Smith): Now, on the one hand, it is very difficult for a man to even speak to someone who looks like you. But, on the other hand, should that be your problem?
Sara: So life's kind of hard all around.
Hitch (Will Smith): Not if you pay attention. I mean, you're sending all the right signals - no earings, heels under two inches, your hair is pulled back, you're wearing reading glasses with no book, drinking a Grey Goose Martini, which means you had a hell of a week and a beer just wouldn't do it. And if that wasn't clear enough, there's always the "F*ck off" sign that you have stamped on your forehead.

I love that movie.
