Acceptable? Endearing? Pathetic?

If it's you doing it.

If someone else does it to you, you can always go for it.

Okay, now somebody really has to make a new thread. I don't offer helpful advice often enough to feel comfortable doing so myself. Anybody?

Definitely not a line I would personally choose... depends on the tone you put it in, if it is laid back and casual then maybe with a little bit of charm it would come off as humourous; however, other than that it comes off as not confident which wouldn't help. I am of the opinion that humour is a wonderful ice breaker, even the cheesiest lines can be successful if done properly. A really silly one that I personally enjoy is 'How much does a polar bear weigh? ....enough to break the ice, my name is so and so' (just realized how painfully ironic that statement is in our current climate). Anyway, good luck my advice may not be helpful but I am an extremely lucky man to be engaged to an amazing woman and I owe it to my overabundace of humour.
