Bad advice for hitting on girls #whatever-and-a-half

[solaria]

Or, I suppose, hitting on guys. Whichever you do:

Going up to person you are going to hit on, stating your ethnicity, and then inadvertently insulting theirs with an "I'd never be ________" comment.

Note: It doesn't offend me because I don't really care, but at the same time, it's not going to make me think highly of you.On a positive note,

are you telling me someone just did that o.O I'm surprised they haven't been bitch slapped to death.

Also...BUNNIES!

[solaria]

I usually attract worse, honestly. I was mostly just blinking trying to make sure I heard right.

BUNNIES--SO CUTE IN THE GRASS--I WANT TO GIVE THEM LETTUCE TO NIBBLE ON--

[a_lonewolf]

Whoa...I can't believe you witnessed this. Also, BUNNIES!

[solaria]

I didn't witness this, I experienced it. It just made me scratch my head a little in a "wtf are you thinking?" sort of way.

TRUE BLOOD. ♥ I should really just make a list of things I love about Sweden and put Eric Northman on it.

[a_lonewolf]

Omigosh...yeah...your favorite band too! I almost forgot. But yes, Eric Northman...drool!!!!

If you have time, I'd love to see if you like the books. I know you have a gigantic "to read" list, but I have the audiobooks that I can link for you and maybe you could listen to them on your bus ride to work. They're sort of formulaic, but I REALLY enjoy them. LOL.

[solaria]

Haha, lots of things from Sweden.

Omigosh, that'd be awesome! I did want to read them at some point, and I haven't listened to too many audiobooks yet, but maybe I could even listen to them AT work. (No one would care as long as stuff was getting done.)

Pick up line TOTAL FAIL. That'd be almost as bad as me going up to you and saying "Hi, I'm Jason. I eat puppies and dolphins and little brown bunnies for dinner. Can't do it for breakfast and lunch. I gotta drink my Slim-Fast!" Except, um, well, actually, I'm pretty sure that's not quite alike.

Wait, where was I going with this?

Oh yeah. BUNNIES!!!♥♥♥

[solaria]

Total fail, but slightly different. He was just dumb and didn't think to ask my ethnicity until after (he did this a lot too--first asked me to help him with his iPhone before finding out if I had one or knew anything about them). You already know I like all those things and wouldn't want you to eat them.

Although I'll laugh if you hit on me with that line next time I see you. ;-)

I edited the post with a crappy cell phone pic of one of the bunnies! I swear I walked two feet in front of it before I noticed it was there.

[solaria]

Well, probably, but I wouldn't recommend using that as your initial pick-up line.

[sever007]

Next time this happens to you. As the guy starts his "I'd never be ________" comment, you look in another direction and yell, "Bunnies!" and off you go...XD

[solaria]

Haha, that'd be great! This time I was doing the furious blinking thing wondering why anyone would think that kind of racism would be acceptable.

EDIT: "Racism" is the best word I can come up with at the moment, even though it was a white guy dissing another group of white people. "Biased against certain nationalities" would be more precise but also more cumbersome.

The EFF?!! Yeah-- SO SUAVE! lol Omg guys sometimes. X(

But.. BUNNIES MAKE IT ALL BETTER!!!! XD

[solaria]

He didn't like Norwegians either. You should beat him up.

[vanii]

Oh shit, I will!! XO
