And are you surprised looking back on it?
“You look lesbian, are you? If not, want to come back to my place and fuck?”
I just told my not-super-close friend “we’re going out for sushi and I’m gonna pay but it’s not a date but we get to eat sushi”
They said “oh hell yeah let’s get high beforehand”
Smoked some weed, ate sushi. Zero talk. Maximum awkward. Went back to the car, I asked about a book that was in their bag. They said it was a sketchbook, and I asked if I could see. LOVED their art sooooo much.
Together for 14 years so far
Are the two of you more visually oriented than verbally oriented? If so, it’s really cool that you stumbled on a better way to connect than talking.
Oh definitely. We talk and stuff, but we mostly just kinda experience everything together. We spend all of our time together and have for about a decade, even working together at our last job (and now together at home when I don’t have to be in the office.) We’re very comfortable just existing alongside each other.
She asked for something that makes me laugh. Send her this:
Worked flawlessly
Is that a saiga?
No a
horseTapir :) Saigas have “slimmer” faces and bigger noses
“Can I have your number? I’d understand if you give me a fake one”
worked on my wife.My now ex said “you forgot to ask for my number”
I actually forgot to tell her my name when I asked for her number.
I basically saved it and fled.
“Hey, I was going through you profile and thought you seemed interesting so I was wondering if you’d like to grab a cup of coffee someday” or something along those lines. Still together 8 years later.
Her: is that Harry Potter you’re reading?
She approached me on the bus when I was commuting. It was a couple of decades ago when HP was new and fun. She was fun too, but we only went on a couple of dates.
I’m not surprised at all. At the time, I was trying to be as social as possible. If she’d stomped on my toe and then asked me out, I’d probably have said yes.
“Want to come over to my place and watch Hamilton?”
Me: “Wanna have sex?”
Her: “No”
Me: “C’mon, it’ll be over before you know it, and you’ll barely feel a thing.”
Her:”Ok, let’s go.”
Me:”Wait… What?”
True story.
Were you already together?
No just a girl who was in a friend group that mingled with my friend group occasionally. We had drunkenly hooked up a couple of times previously, but on this occasion we were sober and happened to be sitting together on a random afternoon in university.
I mostly said it to be funny when she said she was bored. I guess she really was bored.
First date.
I rolled a D-20 in front of her.

“Hey, I shat in my bed, can I sleep in yours?”
I will use this
Me: Do you have the time?
Her: Do you have the stamina?
I’ve come to believe that she didn’t just come up with that herself, but at the time it was great.
Yes, this was before smart phones.
My girlfriend and I had been dating for about 5 months and were serious. We went for a day hike at a local park. Our conversation during the hike went to talking about the future and similar topics. Out of curiosity, I asked; “Do you want to get married?” Not meaning it as an actual proposal, but rather just to get her thoughts. I didn’t have a ring, nor was I on one knee. Yet she responded with an enthusiastic “YES”! We started planning the wedding the next day.
Here we are 20 years later, married happy as ever and our oldest is graduating high school and going on to University, our youngest is finishing up 9th grade.
I guess I found out what she was thinking!
Truth be told though, we were both 34 years old and neither of us had been married before. So it’s not like we were teenagers making a rash decision. We were thirty somethings making a rash decision. That’s different… Right?
One time, in my early 20s, I was hanging out with a group of friends in a packed sedan. We went to pick up a girl, who was my cousin’s friend and who I thought was cute, but we had only seen each other a few times and we had never even crossed words. Anyway, there was no more room in the car and, without a care in the world, I said she could ride on my lap. She just smiled and said okay. That got us talking and by the end of the night we were making out. We ended up dating for a few months after that.
I introduced myself to my wife by saying “hi I’m a lesbian” after overhearing her complain about there not being enough of us around
Not so much a pick-up line, but I sent her a dick pic
I cannot stress enough that it wasn’t a random, unsolicited one.
We’d joked about it, her user name was a play on it, and I sent a link to something rather than a picture, so she had the ability to not see it if she chose
Anyway… We’re engaged now…
“I’m bored, wanna fool around?” sometimes, that’s all it takes.
