Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Some of them are old and tired ("Didn't we go to different schools together?"), and some of them are just dumb ("Is this seat taken as much as I am with you?"), but fortunately, the pick-up lines aren't all there is to this book. The lovelorn, shy, and awkward will grasp eagerly at the creative date ideas, tips on making first dates great, and instructions for making a paper rose from a bar napkin. Give this book to your favorite perpetually dateless friends--they could do worse than to follow these suggestions.

I ordered this book expecting to learn something sophisticated and original, but instead I got a list of cliches that wouldn't impress any on the ball, modern woman. Save your money and pick something else. Any other book on pick-up lines would work better.

Pick-up lines are to be ice breakers for the catalyst of genuine interest. I found this book to have serious and useful information as well as intentional entertainment. Light-hearted suggestions combined with practical application, 101 of the world's most effective pick-up Lines hit the spot. Better than any other pick-up line book I have ever seen, not that I have looked at many, I really feel right about giving this book a five star review. From the last chapter that shows specifical detail to constructing a paper rose from a bar napkin, to the pick-up lines and tips on the Ultimate Date chapters, I was enlightened! Check it out if you have a fun sense of humor and a want a laugh with simple advice.
