Hey everyone

Just that really. If a guy you are chatting to/ chatted to/dating, has asked you this, what did you say?

Not witty but simply 'I know my worth'

"I have a hairy chest"

“Standards”

I have 18 house cats?

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 14/05/2020 21:49

Not witty but “no-one has met the standard”

'I don't want to settle for second-best'

DobbyTheHouseElk · 14/05/2020 21:49

@CountFosco I used that once at work when someone rudely kept asking why I didn’t have a boyfriend. It back formed because they believed me.

To a married person: “I don’t know, why are you still married?”

To a single man trying to chat me up... “Now, you tell me...”

PerfidiousAlbion · 14/05/2020 21:56

“Just lucky I guess.”

Gets them every time!

Thisismytimetoshine · 14/05/2020 22:03

Do single people really interrogate other single people as to why they're single?

TheMotherofAllDilemmas · 14/05/2020 22:10

I think they say it as a way to flatter you but it is an over used live.

TheMotherofAllDilemmas · 14/05/2020 22:11

Line, not live.

“Only just got out of prison. Meeting my parole officer later.”

MyHappinessProjectx · 14/05/2020 22:27

''just lucky I guess!'' is the best answer!

Fairycake2 · 14/05/2020 22:27
