"I took one look at you and I said to myself, 'Wow, look at those brains!'" Actually my most successful (real) line ever was a nice simple one: "Can I buy you lunch/dinner?" after the initial "Hi!" which is the best intro by far. After that, you just sail downwind - spinnaker up. Not really a chat up line at all, just plain honest, the best policy every time. Nowadays I'm out of circulation, thank goodness, lol. AntoniaT, that Mating Season one is one of my faves - that's from the Goon Show, 60's. Best intro used on me (worked, of course) was when I asked "Why wouldn't you look at me at the party? I could see you were interested", She said, "Because I thought you were so beautiful I couldn't stand to look at you." This is true! Boy, did we land up in bed together fast! My most successful intro (not a chat up: more, uh, physical than that) was skiing right over a seriously cute girl on the slope. I mean BANG, we both went flying in a cloud of snow. Once we'd both picked ourselves up and I'd apologised a number of times we introduced ourselves.... we have now been together 23 years and have 2 lovely daughters. You gotta try that one! :] Fish
