20 Best (Or Worst?) Chat Up Lines

Friday, March 30th, 2012

I’ve always loved a cheesy chat up line. In fact, I would much rather be approached in a bar by a guy armed with one of these than an attempt at small talk. So I’ve pulled together some of the best from one liners you can send on Click Tonight and the gems from the advert breaks in Take Me Out.

"Is it hot in here, or is it you?"

Enjoy our selection of the best chat up lines:

“I seem to have lost my phone number, any chance I could have yours?”

“You know what would look fantastic on you?…. me….”

“You are the hottest thing since sun burn.”

“Should I call you in the morning? Or just nudge you ;)

“Do you have a plaster? I hurt my knee when I fell for you.”

“I may not be Wilma Flintstone but I know I can make your BedRock.”

“If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put U and I together.”

“Did you hear about the over weight polar bear? It broke the ice.”

“Are you from Ireland? Because my willy is Dublin.”

“Is it hot in here, or is it just you?”

“Do you have google maps, as I keep getting lost in your eyes.”

“Fancy an Australian kiss? It’s like a french kiss down under.”

“You’re so hot that when I look at you I get a tan.”

“Can I borrow your library card? I want to check you out.”

“If I said you had a nice body, would you hold it against me.”

“Are you related to Jean Claude Van Damme, because Jean Claude Van Damme you’re sexy.”

“I bet there’s a queue for you, do you mind if I push in?”

“I thought chillies were hot, but then I met you.”

“Are your legs hurting? You’ve been running round in my mind all night long.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m an astronaut on a mission to Uranus.”

Dare you to use some of these chat up lines at the weekend, or let us know your favourites.

How To Impress A Girl From L.A

Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

Los Angeles has quite the reputation.  When people find out it’s where I live they automatically assume I bump into movie stars daily or ask me if I know anyone rich and famous.  It’s not all glitz and glamour, though.  So why should you care about impressing an L.A girl, anyway?  Lately I’ve been hearing from so many people who met their significant other across the pond, in a foreign country or even from just a few cities over.  I’ve never believed love should be limited by your postal code, and I’m not starting now.  So just in case you should ever fall head over heels for an L.A girl, here are the best ways to sweep her off her feet.  Movie stars need not apply, of course.Photo of LA

  1. Confidence Is Key.  Not standard dating advice confidence though, I’m talking major kicking ass, taking names swagger.  In L.A, everyone has something going on, somewhere to go, a story to tell.  It’s a city full of movers and shakers and if you can’t keep up, you won’t stand a chance.  Hell, even if you really can’t keep up, it’s best to fake it until you make it.
  2. Don’t Get Caught Up.  The worst people in L.A are the ones who are hoping to sleep with some famous actor (never gonna happen) or have a one night stand with a model.  Actually, I lie-the WORST people in L.A are the ones who are trying too hard to be famous.  Not trying to crush anyone’s dream, but if you’re a girl living in L.A the last thing you want to do is date yet ANOTHER “musician” or “struggling actor.”
  3. Look The Part.  I love guys with excellent personal style…I don’t care if he’s wearing a trash bag as long as he’s rocking the hell out of it.  You don’t have to be David Beckham gorgeous at all-it’s about working with what you’ve got.
  4. Healthy Is Hot, But So Is Whiskey.  In L.A, we’re all about health and holistic mumbo jumbo. Everyone is so concerned with their “healthy lifestyle.” What a snooze-fest.  I do yoga, work-out and juice my vegetables and all that stuff…but with that said, I like a man who is a MAN.  Who isn’t afraid to do shots of whiskey and eat french fries at 2am and throw his diet to hell.  No girl likes a man on a “diet”, trust me!
  5. Take Me Out Of This City.  L.A can feel like one big concrete jungle and sometimes I feel trapped by the smog and the traffic and all of the people.  The best way to impress a girl from Los Angeles is to take her out of the damn city. The mountains, a quiet beach, or well…what about the UK?  Now that’s impressive.

We Love Dates is a popular online dating blog written by Liz, an L.A girl who left her heart in London. Come say hi!

One Night in Paris

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

Paris is widely acknowledged as the capital of romance. The Eiffel Tower is constantly billed as the place to propose, Tom Cruise proposed to Katie Holmes there. Then again, it’s widely acknowledged that he’s completely insane. People are in love with the idea of falling in love in Paris. It’s such a romanticised notion. I just spent the night in Paris, it was not romantic. At least not if you spend the evening on a light up disco floor dancing with the staff from the French Democrat campaign trail anyway. But that’s another story.

Paris and I have a complicated relationship. One Christmas I surprised a boyfriend with 3 night trip to the city of love (I’d run out of original gift ideas by that point in our relationship and this is what I resorted to). He wasn’t happy. Why would I think he would want to go to Paris?? It was just not “his kind of thing”. He was right. I had totally screwed this up. I knew he would have hated going to Paris but I was so in love with idea of Paris, I romanticised the situation – daydreaming about how we would re-kindle our burnt out relationship whilst exchanging long gazes in front of the Mona Lisa. Ridiculous on my part really. We actually ended up in Paris not so long after the Christmas catastrophe, not for a romantic escape but a family visit. We fought the entire time. Paris can never be the most romantic place in my mind, it’s a beautiful city of landmarks and culture and therefore should be enjoyed for its restaurants, places to drink and shop.

My suggestions if you ever find yourself in gay Paris and without a hand to hold…

Chez Moune
Chez Moune, Paris
This is the trendy club right now. Sexy & stylish, it’s the ideal party spot for la bohemienne. Especially popular around fashion week, its crowd is as cool as expensive champagne on ice.
Chez Moune, 54 rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, Paris, Île-de-France 75009

Aux Deux Amis
Aux Deux Amis Restaurant Paris

This modern bistro won Le Fooding guide’s Le Palmarès 2010 Best Restaurant award and for good reason too. The daily changing menu is full of great sharing plates like chorizo and grilled sardines as well as more contemporary offerings like Wagyu beef served with salsify, and grilled squid with squid ink risotto. A very affordable (for Paris) three course lunch menu is available during the day.
Aux Deux Amis, 45 Rue Oberkampf, 75011 Paris

Marche des Enfants Rouge
Marce des Enfants Rouge, Paris
A brilliant food market with international wines and little restaurants. Go walk around, grab a table and enjoy the atmospehere. The Japanese place is the most raved about. Simply amazing!
Marche des Enfants Rouge, 39 rue de Bretagne, Paris, Île-de-France 75003

Point Ephemere
Point Ephemere Paris
Head near to the canal and to Point Ephemere. Live music, drinks and a little dance never did anyone any harm!
Point Ephemere, 200 quai de Valmy, Paris, Île-de-France 75010

Breakfast At The Wolseley
Breakfast at the Wolseley
An amazing way to start your Saturday morning. With the weather looking up, take a walk down Piccadilly and enjoy a Bloody Mary in one of London’s most sought after breakfast spots. Their salmon & scrambled eggs is sublime and the home-made Viennoiserie will make you question the way you have breakfast each morning. Served from 8.30 a.m until 11.30 a.m, booking is advised.

David Shrigley: Brain Activity
David Shrigley Brain Activity
Who said art can’t have a sense of humour? David Shrigley’s ‘Brain Activity’ is full of his praised situational humour and his ridiculous treatment of failure. Showing at the Hayward Gallery until May 10th, it’s already received heaps of admiration and it would be an ideal way to spend a weekend afternoon.
