That date didn't last long.” – Anne Gilbert</p><p>“‘Do you want to make your parents grandparents?’ Um no!” – Wendy Harty</p><p><strong>If you need to ask someone for a dance…</strong></p><p>“I was at a dance jiggling to the beat while seated. A guy came up and said, ‘I hate to see all those moves going to waste.’ Original way of asking for a dance!” – Cheryl Richter</p><p>“A dance pick-up line in the fifties was ‘Where have you been all my life?’” – Catherine Hansen</p><p><strong>The smoothest of all lines…</strong></p><p>“After sitting opposite a good looking fella on a commuter bus for some time he leaned closer to me and said, ‘Excuse me, but you've dropped something.’ Of course, I looked at the floor and said, ‘What have I dropped?’ He replied, ‘Your smile.

We were all sitting at a restaurant in Florence being entertained by an Italian singer. He came and leaned over the table where I was sitting and said quietly, ‘I sing to the others, but my heart is yours!’. Yeah right, I thought! He walked past later and placed a piece of paper in front of me with his name and mobile number. He would have been around 16 years younger than myself!
