Hi Daemon
Yes, I'd say you've got the "you making" part exactly right.
By the way, I think "chat up" may still be more British than American. (I don't hear it here.) . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Thanks Amy!
I know chat up is British and pick up is American. That's why I included them both to get my question across to the people on both sides of the pond :-)
By the way, has anyone tried any funny/cheesy/creative pick up lines on you Amy? :D _________________ Non-native speaker of English

That was very thoughtful of you, Daemon!

Oh, yes. Some lines are more refined than others. Some can be downright coarse. And you can believe me when I tell you that even old guys do it. (I guess that explains the expression "dirty old man".) :lol: . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

I remember another version:
A: My wife and I have decided to go on vacation to some remote island. B: Jamaica? A: No, it was her idea. |
