Famous Valentine Pick-up Lines and fun stuff.

There are a lot of single people out there. I'm one of them. But I don't use pick-up lines like the ones below. I'm way past that... lol. Here are some fun pick-up lines heard around the water cooler.

Famous Valentine Pick-up Lines and fun stuff

"How much does a polar bear weigh?"
"Enough to break the ice, hi, nice to meet you."

"Excuse me, but there's something wrong with my cell?"

Reply: "It's missing your phone number."

"Did you know that if I walk three steps in that direction, I might just miss out on the best thing to ever happen in my life?"

Reply: "So I'm taking the leap of faith, and stopping right here to say hello, before I regret it for the rest of my life."

"Did you know I forgot my pickup line, when I just opened my mouth.. so I guess I'll just say hi instead."

"I have just lost my heart in those eyes".

A very sweet sentiment, and when said at the appropriate time, with a subtle whisper next to his/her cheek, the warmth shared will be a moment always cherished.

"Yes, you are the one, who is the greatest joy in my life."

Another sentiment work marking, an expression of love and how you cherish your sweetheart. With the right body lauguage, and good timing, telling your sweetheart how you feel they enhance your life, will make them validated and important to you.

You are in love, you know the one who is special in your life, or who you want to make special in your life, all you need is to communicate those feelings to him/her, and one way of doing so, is by a soft whisper of a compliment, a smile of encouragement, assuring them they mean something to you, and you appreciate all they do.. even when they may feel it isn't a big deal, let them know, to you, it means the world.

A Few Romantic Quotes

Guys, girls really do like pick up lines, when they are said in the right way, with the right timing. Here's the top ten pick up lines, that you can save on your Iphone, cell, test message, chatting message, or what ever gadget on your person when you go out, and refer to your list when you are about to make you move.

I broke it up into categories, to make it a little easier to remember them.

FUNNY PICK UP LINES.

Girls like guys with a sense of humor, ones that can make them laugh, are always quick with a witting saying or a cute joke. But not all guys are that naturally funny. Some gifted ones are, some think they are, and have some have work to do in that department. Girls can be funny to.. so let's see what's in store for the funnybone ticklers.

"Are you legs tired, cause you've been running through my mind all day."

All this could be yours for one low, low price!"

"I'm friendly and slow moving!"

As you walk by, turn around and say: Excuse me, did you just ask for my name? Ohh, ok, because I would have given it to you, it's___.

"I bet you $20 you're gonna turn me down."

"Does your boyfriend know where you are?"

"The only thing your eyes haven't told me is your name."

"If I were to ask you for your number, your answer would definitely be related to my next question." (can I message you sometime?)

(Approach a group of them) "I'm gotta crush on you, you, and you. Alright, who's first?"

"Excuse me, I just noticed you noticing me and I just wanted to give you notice that I noticed you too."

Third Course: The Entree

The red wine sauce is flavored with vegetables for a perfect accompaniment to herbed and spiced tender filet mignon steaks. Serve this restaurant-quality dish to your sweetheart. Do not let the long ingredient list dismay you. It's not that difficult to make. If you prep this overnight like the recipe calls for, it takes approximately 20 minutes to be ready. You can finish the first course that I gave you Monday before you put these in the broiler. Or, finish both courses and take a dinner break. Let's do it.

Grilled Beef Tenderloin in Cabernet Sauce

For the Marinade:
4 beef filet mignons (approximately 6 ounces each), trimmed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 sprigs rosemary, bruised
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon coarsely cracked black peppercorns
Salt

For the Sauce:
1/2 cup onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup carrot, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup celery, choppd into 1-inch pieces
1/8 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bay leaves
1 tablespoons tomato paste
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
1 cups red wine, preferably Cabernet
1 quart veal stock or roasted chicken stock
Salt and black pepper to taste

Garnish:
1 tablespoons chive batons, cut 1 inch in length

Marinade:
Coat the filet mignon steaks with a marinade combining the balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and black peppercorns. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigeration 1 hour before cooking and wipe excess marinade off the steaks.

Sauce preparation:
In a heavy-bottomed pot, cook the onions, carrots, and celery in olive oil over medium heat until well browned. Add the garlic, bay leaves, and tomato paste; cook 1 minute, stirring. Add the balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, and wine, bring to a boil, and simmer until reduced by two-thirds. Add the veal or chicken stock, bring to a boil, and simmer, skimming occasionally, until reduced by two-thirds. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Cool and refrigerate if not using immediately.

Return the sauce to the heat and simmer until it lightly coats the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.

The Process:
Season the filet Mignon steaks liberally with salt and grill to the desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove to a rack and keep warm while sides are dished. Pour any juices from the filet Mignon steaks into the sauce and spoon the sauce over and around the steaks.

Sprinkle with chive batons and serve immediately. I love asparagus with this recipe. Check it below.

Buon appetito!
