Pickup Lines + Book Lovers
So, this is going to be a shorter post, mainly because I've come down with something virus-like and don't have a whole lot of energy. However, I'm making a foray into comedy, so we'll see how that goes. Brace yourself.
Have you ever wanted to tell a book nerd you like them? Conversely, have you ever been liked by someone who knew you as a book lover? No matter if you have or if you haven't, you can still enjoy - *pulls cover off* Voilà! These lovely pickup lines, guaranteed (not!) to work. Without further ado:
The Smooth One:
"Hey, are you still looking for your Darcy (or Elizabeth?) Because I'm available."
The Salesperson:
"Just think, if we got married and combined our collections, we'd have an entire library!"
The Background Check:
"So, do you like _______?" (Follow-up Question: "Do you prefer it to _______?")
The Single One (Also known as The Death Wish):
"I still think the movie was better."
The Clever One:
"I know I don't seem like your type, but 'All that is gold does not glitter.'"
The Sweet Compliment:
"Don't worry about it - I never judge a book by its cover."
The Awkward One:
"If you were a book . . . um, you'd be awesome?"
The Library:
"Shh!"
The Fairly Creepy: (Really not recommended for use!!)
"I wish you stared at me as much as you stared at books."
The Practical One:
"What are you reading? Is it any good?"
The In-Depth Reference:
"Would you like me better as a horse? Because then we could be 'The Horse and His Girl (or Boy).'"
The Classic-Lover:
"Call me Ishmael. Actually, just call me."
Well, I wouldn't recommend most of these for everyday use. 😊 They are, however, rather funny.
What would you do if someone said these to you?

I would, most likely, give them a confused expression because most of these lines are from books I haven't read. XD But, I'm sure some hardcore book lovers would love to be told this stuff. XD
ReplyDeleteWell, that works too, right? XD I'd love to hear a couple of these - not the creepy one, though! XD Thanks for reading!
DeleteBrianna
THIS IS HILARIOUS. XD
ReplyDelete*whispers* i might use some of these someday on some of my friends.... shsss. XD
Glad you liked it! It was far too much fun to write. :D
Delete*whispers back* I won't tell anyone, but you have to tell me how it goes. XD
Brianna
Heheee, I know almost all of those lines. Personally, I think my reaction would be raised eyebrows for most of them :).
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, Brianna!! Hope you feel better soon!

Some of them got a little obscure . . . whoops. I have to say, that'd probably be my reaction too. :D
DeleteThanks! I hope so too . . .
Brianna
Lol, these are great! The Clever One is AWESOME. If a guy said that to me... well, suffice it to say, I'd be impressed. xD
ReplyDeleteLila @ The Red-Hooded Writer
Thanks! Haha, that one is actually my favorite. :D Me too! Someday. . . I guess that's how you'll know he's the right one. XD

I don't understand many of the references BUT some I do, and I' m a sucker for a pick-up line. Haha. So loved the post!
ReplyDeleteOn second thought, maybe I should've left Moby-Dick references out. :D Thanks! That means a lot to hear. :)

I'd laugh. And then I'd say, "Okay, Laurie, back off." *laughs at my hilarious literary reference* *cries because LAURIE and JO were A THING, ALCOTT*
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty clever! *laughs along* Oh my word, yes!! I still can't believe that she had to ruin our dreams like that. It's so wrong! Laurie and Jo were so perfect for each other . . . *sobs*
