From Politics & Prose bookstore I received this tweet:

what's your bookstore pick-up line? Have you met the love of your life in a bookstore? Or even just a nice one night stand?

Hmmmmm . . . what would be a good pick-up line in a bookstore?

    read any good books lately? (sorry couldn't resist...)

    and the last bit reminded me of...'need one nightstand for that book?'

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    that's awesome. :P
    one time my husband and i were discussing how i could meet men if i were single (long story, don't ask :lol: just the sort of bizarre convos that go on in our household.....anyhoo, he had a well thought out lists of places where i could theoretically meet a like-minded individual, one being a bookstore. i was strangely impressed and a wee bit :? ....luckily this was a few years ago, so i don't think he was thinking ways to ease my pain when he left me... :mrgreen:

    anyhoo, no help at all to you, mea culpa....your thread topic just reminded me of this exchange.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    That's my go-to line! I'm leading off with that one! I think it'll go over well.

    I've actually met a chick at a bookstore.
    Super cute, went out a few times. Nice girl, just boring as hell (in a couple of different ways :D )

    We were sitting kinda by eachother when this larger family came in. Made a couple comments, started talking, got her number, went out that weekend. Wasn't really a "pick-up line" more than just a couple of comments which led to convo.



    Actually, I forgot how easy that was... :shock:
    Might have to hang out at the bookstore more often! :D

    Is that a bookmarker in your pocket or are you just happy to see me

    Something that someone like me would say:

    I would wait years for another book written by that author. The cover doesn't do it justice.

    Do you think someone would want to go have a coffee with me if I said that?
