I wish I could see through your eyes so I would know what you like to see. I wish I knew your wishes, so I could give you everything you want. I wish I dreamed the same dreams you do, and together we could make them come true. I wish I knew what makes you happy, so I could make you the happiest person in the whole world. And lastly, I wish I were a cell in your blood, so I would be sure I was somewhere in your heart…i came across of your profile and i couldn’t hold back emailing you…i know you will be a lot curious about our age difference but i should tell you that when love exist age doesn’t count… love is what counts i would like to know you more about you…you can get back to me on my personal email which is

Um…for those of us who have never gone to a party, club, nor bar, and so have no working knowledge of common pickup lines, could you explain what this is a play on? (Presuming that it is.)
I thought of this thread over the new Coke commercial wherein a guy does a bad interpretation of a cell phone ring, pulls out a Coke, gives it to a girl and says “It’s for you.”
Way back when I was young and single, I’d often say to a pretty chick, “Wow, you’ve really got perspicacity.” That always seemed to please them, probably because they didn’t know what it meant, and were afraid to ask.
