55 of the Worst Pick Up Lines

I’m personally not one for pick up lines.  However, when I was reading “101 Creative Dates for Latter-Day Saints”, I noticed that Lindsey Shumway shared some pretty funny pick up lines as does John Hilton III in his pick up line titled book “I Lost My Phone Number, Can I Have Yours?”  I’ve seen threads in forums which ask “What is the cheesiest pick up line you’ve ever heard?” And, in doing my review of LDS Mingle I noticed you can use them as part of their flirts and cards.  They make me chuckle.  So, I thought you might get a kick out of them as well.  Here’s a collection of 55 really bad pick lines.  I take no credit for any of these; they come from the sources cited above as well as some others. Enjoy!

If you decide to use any of these, you do so at your own risk.

Are We Compatible For Marriage? A Great Way To Find Out!

LDS Singles are (or should be) some of the most optimistic people I know.  It is perhaps because of all people we are striving to follow Nephi’s admonition to “press forward with… a perfect brightness of hope.”  This enthusiastic optimism easily translates into some of our dating habits.  So much so that after a number of dates with someone we really like, we begin to wonder if it might be going somewhere.  We start to wonder about our love interest’s childhood, family, job etc.  At some point one of two things is going to happen: either the relationship is going to end or it will have progressed to the point that you will begin to wonder “Are we compatible for Marriage?”  At that point, it is time to ask really tough questions.  Questions like “is there a secret you are withholding from family and friends” or “how much debt do you have”?  It seems that there is no easy way to bring up these questions or an opportune time to give the answers.

I recently obtained a copy of and reviewed “300 Questions LDS Couples Should Ask Before Marriage” by Shannon L. Alred.  After I wrote the review I began to see that LDS Singles shouldn’t wait until the engagement to begin asking these questions.  Using this book throughout the your dating/courting will help you determine compatibility sooner and continuously assess the realionship’s potential;  while simultaneously strengthening the relationship that will endure.  Plus, with careful planning using “300 Questions” will make asking those difficult questions easier to ask down the line.

One way to make the most of these questions throughout dating and courtship would be to take 3 or so questions from the book and email them to your love interest regularly.  Start off by asking easy questions: “What do you read? Is it uplifting” and “How would you describe yourself”?  That way you could each read over them and discuss the answers the next time you get together.  (If you are in a long distance relationship, emailing the questions and discussing them over the phone could be very valuable.)  As your relationship progresses, you can slowly start to ask the questions that you simply cannot and should not avoid if you are going to commit to an eternal marriage with someone.  Those would be the questions focusing on addiction, abuse, child rearing, finances and marital intimacy.  And, because these questions are coming from a book, you don’t feel like “you” are asking them.

While there are a lot of questions in this book that are crucial for couples in the fiancé stage of their relationship, the majority of the questions are useful for people who are seriously dating (or perhaps already married).  If you value your relationship and are wondering if you are compatible for marriage, I admonish you to begin asking the “300 Questions LDS Couples Must Ask Before They Marry”
