Looking for a good opening line and not "hey baby, what's your sign?"

[crim son]

I've been taking a break from DU for, essentially, months, and there are so many screennames I don't recognize. Does anybody want to introduce themselves, or just say hello? I've been enduring a rare period of regular living and haven't had time to be social. DUers? :hi:

[redwitch]

1. Hey there! I'm Redwitch.

Pleased to re-meet you. :hi:

[Archae]

3. The old Dino-bird, Archae, here...

[crim son]

Pleased, very pleased, to remeet you.

Some day, might we dance? :hi: :D

[crim son]

9. Dupe. Charmed I'm sure. Delete.

[WCGreen]

2. My feal name is clover...

You know, crim son and clover...

[crim son]

6. WC, no "line" required.

I am forever your surprise online friend. :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Hi there! My name is CaliforniaPeggy!

But you can call me Peggy, or Peg...;-)

[crim son]

8. Hey Peg,

I know you're married but can we meet on the sly? :loveya: :pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Absolutely!

Hey, I am planning a trip east next fall (far away, I know!) and if I get there, maybe we can get together!

:pals: :loveya:

[crim son]

17. Peg, remember this: wretched Bangor, Maine.

It's time you learned how the rest of us live. :P :D (sort of kidding, still I think you'd be surprised).

[Aristus]

5. Hi.

(Best opening line I know...) ;-)

Hi, crim son. Good to see you. I'm Aristus. :hi:

[crim son]

7. And you,

you did not defend me. I think it would have been a small thing, defending nobody against nothing. Fortunately you are kinda cute.

[Aristus]

10. Being kinda cute won't stop me from groveling to win back your favor...

I can grovel for a prolonged period, in any manner deemed suitable, on any terrain deemed appropriately demeaning. Is there enough mud around here?

*grovel, grovel, grovel*

At least you're talking to me...

I live in hope...


*grovel...*


...I've missed you...


;-)

[Forkboy]

11. I'm Forkboy, and I'm a shithead.

:)

[Orrex]

13. Hi, I'm Orrex, and Forkboy's a shithead.

That simple line has opened many doors for me.

[Capn Sunshine]

14. Is that a spaghetti squash in my pocket?

Cause I'm glad to see you :hi:

[old mark]

15. Welcome back! "Regular living"? What a fucking drag!

:yourock:

[Chan790]

16. I find that "Hello" works...

especially if you can follow it with something more astute than "I noticed you're a person...I'm a person too." (though in the right setting and with the right woman, that has been a successful jokey approach.)

[taterguy]

18. I'm Taterguy and I'm a spudnik

[Sky Masterson]

19. ;o)

Of course these won't really work if you're a female trying to hook a guy. :dunce:

You look like you could use a little _ick,and I have one. (for the slow, the punchline is that that I'm saying I have a tiny member)..:P

I may be small, but I'm fast!

I got no game...:cry:

And YAY on the regular living Crimmy!. :):hug:

[kentauros]

20. "Hey baby, what's your DNA sequence?"

:P

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

21. Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and .....

Oh, oops........ :)
I hope things are well with you, I'm Dyedinthewoolliberal, but am often referred to as Wooly......... :toast:

[unpossibles]

22. how about "my friends think I'm creepy..."

no?

[cwydro]

23. Hi crimmie!

My name is cwydro...

[graywarrior]

24. Missed ya.

[proteus_lives]

25. My name is Proteus_Lives.

And I say good day to you!

[walldude]

26. Get back out while you can!!

This place sucks the life out of you. Like you I took a break. While I was off of DU I used all the time to practice my music. I managed to put together an acoustic set for playing out. I managed to write a bunch of new tunes, I managed to learn some new scales, I actually used the time I used to spend on DU productively. Then a few days ago I popped in to see what was up. My quick pop in lasted about 6 hours and I am back today. But I am leaving now to go work on some songs. All I find here is people pissed about this or that or pissed because others aren't pissed about this or that or posters that cleverly try to get me to watch useless vids.


Sorry, don't mean to be an asshole, I'm just shocked at how easy it is to get sucked into this place and not get out.
