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.

Wow. Well, she didn't waste any of your time.
Ought to go over well in the South.
I hope she is still laughing? I think that is really a funny story!
That depends on where you look...
Sounds to me like you got the wife you needed! :)
"Not where it counts, babe."
My daughter just started dating a young man who works for the local court. He has volunteered to teach her how to shoot. I remarked to her that he is very self-confident!
Sigh. The world over, men think the same.
"Do you ride side saddle, or astride?"
Do you have a mirror in your pocket?...
cuz I can see myself in your pants!!
LOL. I once dated a girl with multiple personalities but did not find out until well into our relationship. I only met two of her. I guess the others didn't want anything to do with me. : )
Nine years and two children later, yes, all of us laugh every day. Thank God.
And your point is???
The least successful line ever used on me . . .
Back in the '80s, when I was all legs and hair and attitude, I was at Emo's, a popular scuzzy club in Houston. I was sitting on the (unused) outside bar, looking at the goldfish in the pond, and a little scrawny guy came up to me and asked, "Are you a guy?"
Mind you, I'm in full-bozo slut makeup and FMPs, and a little red dress so small my dad used to call it my belt. I said, "Why do you ask?"
Little scrawny guy says, "Well, you're sorta hot, and I was gonna talk to you, but if you're a guy I don't think I will."
So I dropped my (already low) voice into baritone and said, "Looks like this ain't your lucky day."
I'd say you're right. :^))
HAH. I remember Emo's (or club Some, depending on the time of day). I don't recall seeing anyone in full-bozo slut makeup, but then again, I don't recall much about that time or place.
And they don't even realize it! :)
If I were searching for women, Emo's would not have been my first choice.
How about Fitzgerald's? The Abyss? Urban Art Bar?
Here's a blast from the past for you . . . I met my husband at Cardi's.
