‘I lost my number, can I have yours?’

Students reflect on best and worst pick-up lines

Girls: What’s the worst pick-up line you’ve ever heard?

“I would ask you for your number, but I know you wouldn’t give it to me.” —Emi Torres, Lawrence freshman

“Is your dad a thief? Because he stole the stars in the sky and stuck them in your eyes.” —Karla Stone, Iola junior

“One that I heard is, ‘Do you have any Jewish in you?’ You’re supposed to say, ‘No,’ and then comes ‘I can fix that for you.’” —Seema Amin, Shawnee junior

“Are you tired? Because you’ve been running through my mind all day.” —Vanessa Green, Fredonia sophomore

Guys: What’s the best pick-up line you know?

“If you were a geometric shape, you’d be a cute triangle.” —Matt Broberg, Salina junior

“If you were a cabin, I’d rent you for the summer.” —James Beck, Libertyville, Ill., sophomore

“Is your dad a thief? Because he stole the stars and put them in your eyes.” —Dustin Lamoreux, Shawnee freshman

“Is that a keg in your pants? Because I want to tap that.” —Mark Browne, Kansas City, Kan., junior
