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.

'You can dance with me and think about someone else.'
Only works if your a very good dancer.
(In the unlikely event that she declines, proceed to line 2)
Line 2- "What's the matter, don't you like pizza?"
I do, but not always in that manner.
Of course it was meant as a joke, and thankfully, she got a big laugh out of the notion that some guy she just met was going to order her around.
"Does the voice in my head bother you?"
Do you believe in the here after? Great, because you know what I'm here after.
Go up to the drunkest girl in the bar and just say.
"Come on, let's go home."
Right now they all say to take you home.
My guy friend felt it necessary to tell me (I kind of figured) that guys, usually drunk, will try this on the odd chance they hit on the right name or a drunk girl who agrees. Sure enough the guy tried that same line on 3 other girls just while we were there.
Apparently you know my brother.
The worst: "Do you work for UPS cuz I could swear I just saw you checking out my package."
How do you know I NOT your brother?
I knew a guy who would just ask, "Hey, you wanna go scr..?". He said he got shot down 99% of the time, but he made it up in volume by asking practically every woman he met.
You are lucky indeed. Usually better choices at work. I was never good at fielding them, either. Sometimes I would laugh at the most ridiculous, far fetched lines, especially if I was obviously on a date. Guys don't seem to like that. ;-)
And, unfortunately, that would be my brother.
I tried the straightforward approach once: "Hi, you're very attractive, and I'd like to get to know you better." Her response: "You're too short for me".
End of bar scene for me.
Do you believe in the here after? Great, because you know what I'm here after.
All of a sudden I found myself on my back looking up at my future wife (She had dropped and swept my legs from under me and popped back up).
She stands there and says, looking down at me laying there, "You shouldn't have done that."
Needless to say, I bought her friend a new dress, paid for a beauty salon visit, etc.
I only heard her say that one other time and luckily it wasn't to me.
But that's another story.
