Outrageous Pickup Line Success
Share
Sam shares the outrageous pickup line he used to meet his now-wife Sarah.
"My wife Sarah walked into a happy hour where I was with my friend Lily. I said to Lily, 'That woman looks fantastic. I'm not leaving until she talks to me.' As I was saying that, she comes up to me and I didn't know what to say in time, so I said, 'Excuse me, what's the difference between a chickpea and a lentil?' She looks at her friend and says, 'I don't know.' And I said, 'I don't pay $500 to have a lentil on my face.' She gasped and I was like, 'Classic hummus joke, am I right? Hi, I'm Sam, nice to meet you.'
I had just finished a cross-country motorcycle trip literally the day before in February 2014. I had all these pictures on Facebook, so instead of asking for her phone number, I said, 'Let me friend you on Facebook and we'll talk there.' I front-loaded my photos with all these pictures where I looked cool on my motorcycle trip. So I did try all those things that you said were true, and also I'm still a filthy animal, and it worked."
