Not a pick up line but- "I donβt think I can do better than you and I know you can't do better than me, so I guess we should just get married." She sighed and said "yeah, you're probably right".
I dont wanna shit on you, but the "I cant do better than you" is sweet and I used it with my BF, but the "You can't do better than me" is many times used by abusive partners as a way to diminish their self-esteem and make sure that they dont leave them, because they really think they cant do better than their current abusive partner.
I believe you said it with the best intentions, but is something that people does.
Yeah, I hear you but context is important. She's good and safe, so am I. We have 2 kids together, been together for 20 years, have ducks, a rabbit, share all expenses and income exactly 50/50 and have had each others back through the worst of other people.
I'm not shitting on you, but "we have ducks" has to be the funniest justification why the relationship isn't abusive I've seen yet.
Well, you convinced me!

It's the red heat lamp. They gotta be kept warm for a few weeks and it makes our living room look like Kramers apartment.
Did you get together??
Yeah. Been together for like 20 years now.
You both sound like a solid 5
Hey now. On a good day and if you squint, I could pass as a 6. Maybe 6.5.
Hell yeah. Nice.
