I would probably laugh just because it's so odd for anyone to use that as a pick up line! I think I would feel uncomfortable and just kind of laugh and walk away!
By any chance are his female friends the type to bring home every stay cat or dog they find, or maybe they have a peculiar fondness for "saving people from themselves"?
The conversation takes place in a Mexican resturant between my friend and a really hot waitress:
Waitress: Would you like another beer?
Friend: No, I'm not supposed to be having this one.
Waitress: Why not?
Friend: I'm an alcoholic.
Waitress: Really?
Friend: Yes, I have one of those breathlyzers (sp?) installed in my car that you have to blow into before the car will start. Would you like to come out to my car and blow into it?
She stands there a little puzzled and I take the opprotunity to snap off a wisecrack and head to the register.
Now, this friend was trying to flirt with the waitress and what makes this weird, IMO, is he has a lot of female friends. From what he tells me most of his friendships start out this way, apparently he flirts, runs it right up to the point where something may happen and then puts them into the friend zone. Until I witnessed this I had never seen him in action from the start, any of his female friends I've been introduced to were already befriended.
While I was listening to this I was asking myself "do these women really go for this crap?"
FYI: He is not an alcoholic, and the reason the girls get shuffled to the friend zone is he is married with two kids.
Ok, CD ladies what's your take on the matter?
No, I would have thought he was a little nuts. I would have went for you.
I think something might have been lost in translation here.......
It was crass, but honestly, I would have laughed. I'm pretty easy going and I'm not going to get offended by some lame guy trying to make a stupid joke. Life is too short, people. Seriously.
I agree with spinx.
I spent many yrs. waitressing when I was in school. I wish I had written a book of "lines". It is common for gentlemen to flirt, joke and carry-on with waitresses. Its all in fun. I dont see what the big deal is.
