My friend works at a Trader Joes. Today she was given a note by a dude when he was paying for his stuff. The note said that he was giving her a bike for free, that is out front, because he needs the space in his apartment. The catch is that it is locked with a chain and in order to get the key, she has to go with him to lunch.

I guess the note also mentioned that he'll be back tomorrow for her response. She's going to turn him down though, since she already has a bike and a boyfriend. Still, it seems like an interesting method. Thoughts?

Very oddly specific, I'm calling it a bad play. But, hey, nothing ventured nothing gained.

So in short, bribery.

Effective on some people perhaps, healthy? Maybe not.

Yeah this is what I was thinking too.

You bribe a girl to go out with you. If she says yes she'll probably either A) get a free meal and then make an excuse why it won't work in the future or B) continue to use you for free stuff.

Good way to get a first date? Maybe if the girl in question is the type to go for crazy stuff. Good way to have the vaguest chance in hell of anything beyond a first date where you don't get so much as a kiss? No.

He was trying to go for the "do something ridiculous and stupid that she will find charming" or something like, to be spontaneous. I don't know the full story, but it seems like bad execution on his part. A similar tactic can definitely be very effective if you do it right.

For example, he shouldn't try to "ground" his request for a lunch date for a key by saying that the key is for a bike. She could easily refuse the entire request by saying that she doesn't want the bike, which is what happened in this case. If instead he said the key was for an alien spaceship or the key to save the world or even something like a private jet or yacht, it would've been better. It's obviously ridiculous, but it would make the offer hard or impossible to refuse, even if she had a boyfriend.

I don't think there's anything other than harmless with this guy. There's no way he could be aggressive in any way toward a girl.

If a guy went up to a girl and said to her (not with a note) that he has a key for an alien spaceship or to save the world, then yeah. I can see that actually working, but of course the girl would have to have a good sense of humor.

Never thought i'd feel this way...

Promised not to be sad, but
we both knew I was lying
Got to fight back the tears cuz
can't let you see me crying
You're more than just my best friend

What makes me Misty most of all...

So the guy came back in, like he said he would. I guess he took the news pretty well.

He ended up giving her the bike anyway though. Went outside and unchained it, and left.

I haven't seen the bike myself, but she claims it's pretty nice. It's a street bike. She's looking to offload it, since like I mentioned earlier, she has a bike already and she doesn't really have room to spare for a second bike.

I tried the "I have a key to an alien spaceship" yesterday on a girl that works at Subway. I figured why not, I'll give it a try.

She did give me her number but I texted her earlier and she never texted back sooooo yeah. Guess it didn't actually work.

Yeah, I had a pretty good feeling that it would be a terrible way to pick up a girl, but it was just so outlandish I wasn't sure lol.

BTW, apparently the bike has problems with the chain staying on. She claims she nearly killed herself riding it home from work.
