Last time you got chatted up?

As the title says - when was the last time your charms won the pleasure of being spoken to be an unknown?

  • Re: Last time you got chatted up?

    Umm, bout a month ago, by a lovely gal who told me she could do a ping pong ball trick - turns out she was lying. However she is gorgeous, funny and cool as...so we're going out a fair bit when she's back from Uni...I think it's chatted up - she asked a mutual friend to ask me to go over as she wanted to talk to me. Does this count?

    I won't bore you with all the soppy details of the inbetween.

      Last week in Amsterdam, by a few women, actually. I think remuneration may have been on their minds, though.

      A nice sounding woman got me out of the shower with a wrong number call about 90 minutes ago. Does that count ?

        Not really sure either count Cadd to be fair...You could have made more of the wrong number though!

        And senses - 'my mate fancies you'?!! Really?!?! Do people still do that? That's ace!

            I make a habit of getting involved with women who I find aesthetically pleasing but who turn out to be even more wired up to a custard cream than I am.

            It makes for exciting times and decent anecdotes, though, like the ex who attacked me and got her finger jammed in my eyesocket and the one who got upside my head with an iron bar.

            Fragrant is the word we're looking for, I believe.

              Good call. One of the former Ms. Bamos' got carted away in a police car for near enough GBH'ing me in a nightclub. And this was after we'd split up. Slag. All for the crime of talking to my mates' flatmate. Women!

                I don't really get chatted up. I accidentally gave someone the impression I was chatting them up on Friday. Then my flatmate thought it was hilarious to give him my number. So now I'm not answering my phone unless I recognise the number - the cowardice....

                  The one who attacked me with the iron bar got arrested for police assault while I was being ambulanced off to get my stupid head fixed. She managed to slip her cuffs and punched another cop in the car :-)

                  Chronic alcohol abuse was involved in these cases.

                  I'm celebrating seven years off the sauce today.

                  I marked this great occasion by using a different deoderant under each arm.

                  See, without booze you get a life and your braincells regenerate, erm....

                    I cannot think of any point in 27 years where I've been chatted up. Now, I can see how that would lead you to believe that I must be a 27 year old virgin and, if I'm honest, I'm not sure I care what you think. However, I can't think of one point where I've been chatted up. As for chatting someone else up, the idea seemed so alien to me I would rather put wasps up my arse...

                          Whey-hey, go us! We could form a club of those that don't get chatted up, and go out nights standing mostly quietly in the corner with our mates.

                          And my other half could give me a lift so I could have a beer.

                          p.s. Cat hair? Tell me you run a cattery or something.....

                                right, i see what you mean. we should go to leicester square and hang out in london's biggest meat market, the equinox. and if we don't get chatted up there, well, then there's no hope.

                                i think it's too much marmite.

                                  I went out with mates to places that they always used to call meat markets, just made me wonder what it was about me when I came out having not pulled. Though I did tend to go out with live badgers in my pockets.



                                  Not really.


                                  Speaking presonally, marmite probably doesn't help. Though there do seem to be many people out there that actually like the stuff.......

                          Well it wasn't quite like that....it was "Oi, that girl wants to talk to you" and I had seen her looking at me but I thought I'd probably pissed her off as I tend to talk a load of shite (about guitars and music) when I'm pissed (and sober) and well I thought I must have pissed her off as she's beautiful. We chatted for a few mins, I mentioned Thailand, She mentioned ping pong balls and it went from there :p

                        I hardly ever get chatted up, but I like to think it’s because I’m usually out with male friends so everybody thinks I’m already taken…obviously – well, I have to console myself somehow… ;-)

                        Last time was a couple of weeks ago by a friend of a friend.
                        Don’t think he was really serious though, so it probably doesn’t count. Think he just sees me as a challenge because he isn’t used to being knocked back so can’t quite make me out for finding him resistible the first time he tried.

                        Have no idea how to go about chatting someone up myself – could say I’m just out of practice, but I don’t think I ever had any idea.
                        I’m usually only attracted to the completely fucked up though, so it is probably for the best that I don’t get chatted up by people I fancy!

                                  As to being chatted up, when you get married you're not meant to want to be. What's the point? Its like being starving in a pit with a giant cake dangling a few feet above your reach. My solution is to not get married.

                                          "I have a really bad habit of not realising till about six months later that I was actually being chatted up..."


                                          You’ve probably just had the misfortune of hanging around people who send out rather confusing signals.
                                          I’m the world expert at that.

                                          Was forced into chatting someone up at a club a few months ago when my mate said
                                          “I’m going to the bar and I’m not coming back until you talk to him”
                                          Sooo… I decide to go for the honest approach and start with I’m crap at this kind of thing… my friend…etc etc
                                          Unfortunately, it being a club and the music being a bit on the loud side, he completely misheard and thought I was doing the “my friend (who’s at the bar) fancies you” thing.
                                          I have never seen someone disappear so fast when said (male) mate arrived back from bar…

                                          Poor lad is probably still traumatised ;-)

                                            I know what you mean.

                                            I had a really nice woman up at my place on Saturday. I don't have a clue if there even were any signals sent out, I'm a lifer in the home for the terminally bewildered.

                                            She's just my type as well, the aura of madness hangs heavy around her ;-)

                                              (ignoring your last quip)

                                              …and are you completely sure that you weren’t sending out mixed signals?

                                              Think you always have to work out what you want yourself before you can begin to read signals sent out by others.

                                                  Just the sound of your ex scares the fuck out of me cadd!

                                                  The missus ain't chatting me up today. When Wittgenstein essays have to be complete in ten hours, sexy talk goes out of the window. Meh.
