IVY’s Favorite PickUp Lines

June 23, 2010 · 5 Comments

The goal is to make him or her feel good, so good in fact that they’ll want to talk to you some more.  If you get him or her to laugh… SCORE!!!

Yes… I know, some may come off as super-cheesy or at times mean, but you gotta know your audience people… You get my drift ;)

1.Nice to meet you, I’m Ivy and you are… gorgeous.

2. Looking this good is illegal in Beirut, bas if you go out with me, I’ll let you off with a warning.

3. Apart from being so sexy, what is it that you do for a living?

4. Your father must have been a farmer, cause you’ve grown some nice melons (or lemons… depending on the girl)  ( use with caution)

5. You’re so hot, I think your the reason behind global warming.

6.I’m sorry to tell you this but your going to hell, looking that good is a sin.

7. If your going to regret this in the morning, then we can just sleep past noon.

8. I may not be the best looking girl here,but you can’t really afford to be that picky. (use with caution)

9. It’s your lucky day, I’m on the rebound and I just lowered my standards.

10. Do you have a name, or can I just call you mine?

11.Damn boy, and I thought I was good looking

12. I was gonna come talk to you earlier, but I didn’t want your friends to fight over me.

Sly Yet Genuis Dating Tips

April 8, 2010 · 2 Comments

I read somewhere that dating is all about competition, and how naturally we’re inclined to want something that is unattainable which led me to my latest dating tip.

  1. Send yourself some flowers with a fake card that says something like ” your always on my mind.” Make sure you leave him in a room alone with the flowers so that he can catch a glimpse of them. This way he knows how lucky he is to be with you.  If he asks who they’re from just say  ” oh some guy I met during a work meeting.” This will keep him on his toes!  Bisoux  

    You'll keep him guessing!

    Warning: The above tip only works at the very first stage, or else he could accuse you of cheating.

Kate Hudson Makes Her Move On Justin Timberlake

February 11, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Someone seems to be taking my advice…

According to ShowbizSpy those  two have known each other for years but the timing was never right. When she heard he was single again she decided to make her move on the night of the SAG Awards.

Kate’s always had a thing for Justin, and after reading that his romance with Jessica Biel is over, she’s decided to make her move,” a source told the National Enquirer. “Kate flirted with Justin outrageously that night, and he was all over her,” the source adds. “They exchanged numbers in the green room.”

If Kate can do it, we have no excuse! Bisoux

What The Drink You Order Says About You- the Lebanese Version- Round 1

February 11, 2010 · 6 Comments

Back By Popular Demand

Martini: I’m a  stylish single girl and this drink is the missing accessory to my already trendy well-thought out outfit.

Wine: I’m traditional and classic, I’m French educated, my country makes some damn good wine so why not go local.

Pink Wine ( Rosé): I want to party on some roof-top overlooking the coast, this bottle looks so good, comes in a champagne glass  and only costs LL30,000. 

Jack and Coke:  Don’t mess with me, I’ll hurt you, I drive a BMW and I’ll probably spend the night in the club, NOT dancing.

Vodka Red Bull: Wal3any Ilayly ya man,  I go to AUB/ LAU, I have an early class ,I came with my dad’s car but will probably get so wasted I’ll have to go home with a friend.

Dou Dou Shot: I just broke up with my boyfriend, I don’t care what I do tonight, it doesn’t count I’m depressed.

Tequila Shot: My boyfriend cheated on me but he doesn’t know I know, so please take advantage of me.

Champagne: I’m rich and I’m not afraid to show it, why not interrupt  everyone’s favorite song by changing the music to some 80′s music with cheap firecrackers. Hopefully they’ll put my name on the big screen!

Am I right or am I right ? ;) Bisoux

Flowers Got Her a Husband But Can They Get Me A Valentine?

January 30, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Tip #5 Give him a flower!

Ok it just dawned on me thanks to Joelle’s comment, I vaguely remember hearing something about MP Nayla Tueni actually proposing to her husband on air by sending him flowers but I just can’t seem to find any photographic evidence. I mean what better than a flower to show him you like him? It can do most of the talking for you. I know, I know I’m getting really good at this ;P Ladies , if your going out tonight, give this a shot, let’s see if this works! Bisoux

Tip #4:   Give him your camera and ask him to take a pic of you and your friend.

This works for both girls and guys and its GENIUS ( if I must say so myself.)  It’s  one of the best conversation starters by far. He’ll take the pic and you’ll both look into your camera to discuss it et voila… your conversating!

I did it in broad daylight too! My friend and I met up at Indigo in Le Grey this new hotel  in downtown Beirut for our lunch breaks and there was quite the stunner sitting by us. Luckily I had my camera on me! He took two pics of us and when I saw it I went ” oh no I’m so not photogenic” and he was like ” what are you taking about your very pretty.” I asked him to join us and he did, with his friend.

Thank me later for this one… I know you will ;) Bisoux

Tip# 3:  Drop a Hint

I met a guy I’ve been crushing on for a while at Zinc last night. ( NO thank god he didn’t see me in the boy’s loo.)  He’s a friend of a friend that I randomly  run into like once a month.  For some reason I’ve always felt kinda intimidated by this guy cause he just doesn’t give me the time of the day.

Soooo…  I heard him saying something about this play in  Masrah AlMadina called Vitrine. I knew this was my opportunity so I look at him and go “ I’ve been dying to watch that play!” ( between me and you I haven’t heard of the thing before last night)  So he goes “really? I have an extra ticket my mom’s friend is running the show.” And there you have it folks, I just hinted my way through to a date. Will keep you posted on this one. Bisoux

Pick me!!!!

“3ayb I Would Never Let A Girl Pay For Me”

January 18, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Before you delve into Tip #2 ( going out for a drink alone) I feel its my duty to share my insights on the whole drink-buying scenario. This is what happened last night.

I was at the bar. I met Walid. He sat right next to me.  He buys me a drink, I buy him back a drink. He acts like he’s  having a cardiac arrest when I pulled out my wallet and says things like “your insulting me how could you?” Which by the way is one of the most ridiculous things you hear as a single girl in Beirut these days. Don’t get me wrong I seek chivalry in a man and let’s face it if he doesn’t pay especially in the beginning chances are most girls are going to find that a complete turn-off. But this sounds a little over dramatic. How typical, the guy pays the bill while the girl stares into space acting like she can’t see him paying the bill. Even if he is unemployed and just used up his gas money to buy her a Gunpowder, which by the way is a simply fabulous drink.

But buying a guy drinks is one of my most prized tactics.Maybe even Tip #2.2, it goes hand-in-hand- with Tip #2. You see maybe its just me but I know many girls  who agree with me, the more drinks a guy buys a girl the more she feels in debt to him , in other words the more obligated she is to put out.No matter how much a guy denies it,  a guy DOES expect something in return when he buys you a drink. I’m not necessarily saying he expects something  too drastic, but at least a phone number or a second date. But if I buy the guy back some drinks, we’re cool and if after 5 drinks his nose still seems too frumpy, I’m bouncing without a silly excuse. Heck I might even tell him! Bisoux
