A funny thing happened to Den after we got married.
He noticed that when out with friends in bars or clubs, women were more flirty with him. They would be more open, talk for hours rather than fobbing him off and spout cliches like “All the good ones are taken” (cue flirty eyelash-batting) and “Well, if you’re so happily married where’s your wife tonight?”. Luckily he’s a trustworthy guy.
Anyway, I’ve written before about the women with a penchant for married men.
Women like married men for a reason. It shows they can commit. In another recent study, a man’s attractiveness was rated more highly by women when they were told he was married rather than single.
So it’s no wonder some men lie about it to get women interested. A wedding band is a great prop, up their with cute babies and fluffy puppies for getting women interested.
Just Go With It is about to be released at the movies on March 31, starring Adam Sandler as a plastic surgeon, who, romancing a much younger schoolteacher, enlists his loyal assistant to pretend to be his soon to be ex-wife, in order to cover up a careless lie he told about being married.
Our friends at Sony Pictures are giving our Australian readers the chance to win one of 10 inseason double passes to see the new romantic comedy Just Go With It for your next date night – it will be in cinemas from March 31.
The movie looks like a barrel of fun and stars Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler… who have each made some great date night movies in the past… 50 First Dates and The Wedding Singer are two I rate very highly. As for the divine Jennifer Aniston, well if you want a movie your man will love you can’t go past Derailed. She gets points from me for The Break Up too, but not so sure that’s the best movie to watch with your sweetie on a date!
Anyway, check out the trailer below to find out more…
So if you’d like a date night on us (which means you’ll have money left in your own budget for dinner!), comment below to let us know what you think the best pick-up line ever is… We’ll judge our favourites at our discretion and winners will be announced here and contacted via email on Monday 21 March, 2011.
Please note: Prizes are only valid for Australian cinemas.
Writer, dating columnist, wife, coffee addict, foodie, fashionista... Melburnian through and through. Muser, dancer, blogger, tweeter. Likes to get her head on telly now and again. Sleeper, dreamer, a sucker for romance. And of course... a cheap date.
The pick-up line that in my mind for best ever actually has more to do with how the guy delivered it than the actual line.
Having an uncommon name, a guy once exclaimed after asking me what it was, that it was his favourite! name! ever! After being given a raised eyebrow by me, we both cracked up laughing and agreed it was a very good pick-up line under normal circs.
I don’t like pick up lines in general but if I guy asks how my night is going or how I am (with eye contact) and actually listens to the answer – I’m impressed.
Had to add the worst too: I may not be Fred Flintstone but I’ll sure make your bed rock.
I am a sucker for a compliment so the old “you have the most beautiful eyes” will usually at least get more conversation than “get your coat – you’ve pulled’ thats for sure!
Gold, you guys! Love it! Keep ‘em coming!
Gentlemen, anything that’s worked for you in the past? Your lovely lady would appreciate a date night out to see a Rom Com… especially if you go along without any bitching!
Him: nice to meet you future Mrs. (his last name)
Pick up lines always make me laugh or cringe. Probably one of the most successful ones I’ve had was “Don’t I know you from somewhere? Or should I say I want to know you from here?” It was kind of sweet and he had a great cheeky smile as he said it, so it worked.
Root me if I’m wrong, but I think you want to kiss me.
Works everytime!
A friend told me a guy had once tried to charm her with something along these lines… “I was so distracted by your beauty that I ran into that wall. Just letting you know I’m going to need your name and number for insurance purposes please…”
It gave me a laugh.
“I write the movie facts on Fan Tales…”
“You look like you wish you had some Irish in you…as a genuine leprachaun I am more than happy to oblige”
Cheesy yes but said in a Colin Farrell accent how could he go wrong!
Okay, competition now closed! Congratulations to EVERYONE who commented, you’ll all be receiving a double pass to go see Just Go With It!
So.. if Pandnz, Eleanor, Ebony, Ange, Catherine, Syl, Samantha, Kimberley and Karalee would all kindly send their postal address to me at team (at) 30dollardatenight.com I will arrange to get the passes out ASAP!
I love Adam Sandler movies he’s a good actor’s.
