Was your father a thief? Because he stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.
Equipped with that pick-up line, you can be certain to score in the universal language of love. So say the authors of a new top 10 list of pick-up lines which have been translated from English into Czech, French, Italian, Spanish and German by the publishers Chambers.
Taking inspiration from its new range of pocket-sized phrasebooks, Chambers compiled its own list of the definitive top 10 pick-up lines.
The UK publisher picked the lines from the assorted phrase books and compiled their own light-hearted list, to assist vacationers heading out to European destinations this summer.
Anna Stevenson, from Chambers Harrap, said "The French and Italians are especially renowned for their romantic ways but it seems that chat-up lines are the same no matter what language you are speaking."
"Our chat-up lines show budding English- speaking Romeos how to impress the girl of their dreams whatever country she is from, but it also allows British women to wise up to the charms and cheeky ways of foreign suitors," said Stevenson.

So we have a one track sewer...
Wow, Cardi's was fun.
I would go to Urban Art Bar, Q, Last Concert Cafe, La Carafe, Dick's Last Stand, Blue Planet, Crystal, Woodies Ice House, Woodrow's, Rich's, 8-O's, basically any place that had local rock bands, and any place that had good dance music.
Hi there, this evening we have a special, free mustache rides..
LMAO, But they were playing the Rolling Stones. Disco lights but rock and roll tunes.
And.....She wasn't my wife at the time.
Wise choice. I, too, don't bother with the bar scene anymore. I've heard the, 'Well, if she didn't wear glasses...', from a guy my friend was hoping to introduce to me. Only I was standing right there. Classy.
I was thinking, "Not if you start in the middle..."
Oh, was that you? lol
I gave up on the bar scene and decided to try internet dating.
I finally found conservative match dot com and the first gal I corresponded with is now my fiance.
I had far more sucess and much better dates through the internet than I ever did meeting gals at the bar or through mutual friends.
I have no problem with a woman who wears glasses. I think it's sexy to watch her take them off.
Your name must be Visa cuz you're everywhere I wanna be!
Glasses? You had someone actually say that in front of you?
Well, I hope they wound up with bottle bottom lenses when they hit their forties..sheesh...
I've been kicked out of Emo's.
Also the little scuzzier place around the corner with the murals on the fence.
Not recently, though.
Try that in a bar.
Lola's? No, wait, that has murals inside.
LOL. If the woman answers, you may have a score.
Funniest/strangest one I've ever witnessed being used:
Guy: Do you like apples?
Gal: Sure.
Guy: Me too. Wanna f***?
That was bothering me not to remember.
There is a fenced backyard / patio area with tables that had murals all along the fence, but maybe not always.
Hooligans would smoke questionable stuff out in that fenced area.
Freakin' hippies.
LOL. As though I wasn't even standing there. And, I have worn the coke bottle kind, not then though, thanks to the new technologies. I hope he found someone just as shallow as himself, and I considered myself lucky at that point. But it was classless - right in front of me as though I wasn't even there.
