What’s the deal with… pick-up lines?!

So I was at the gym yesterday and this girl was stretching next to me. And she asked me, “Do I know you from somewhere?” Blah blah and so on. I really just wanted to laugh. Is this ever a genuine line?
The funny this is that twice in the past the girl has actually known me! The first time was in a different gym. I had met the girl earlier through a friend of a friend at some little get together several years prior. I know she wasn’t trying to pick up on me because as we talked more she mentioned how she was sick of working abroad because she couldn’t be here with her bf. I did find myself amused that she actually knew me. That was easy to put together because she remembered where it was from.
The second time was also funny. I was at the airport waiting for my flight from OAK to LAX. This girl sitting a couple seats down from me says, “Do I know you?” I couldn’t help myself from grinning and laughing internally. But, hey, she did know who I was! Pooh!! It turns out we used to go to church together we were really little kids. It gets more funny because it turns out she’s several years older. At the time she was seeing my older brother’s friend who I know. They actually just got married about a year ago.
So what is up with that? Quit.. quit telling the truth! You do know me! hahahaha
In other news, I saw The Notebook. Man, was this movie overrated! I had heard it was a good chick-flick from the ladies, but it so wasn’t. If I were to give it an entertainment rating, I’d give it a “yo-yo.” I was mildly entertained but glad it wasn’t any longer.
