THE BIGGEST PICK UP LINE EVER

"Hey! You look really familiar!"

Over the past year and especially as at BYU-Idaho, we young single adults hear this sentence a lot. 
"You look really familiar" is the perfect pick up line to say if you want to learn more about the person you happen to be flirting with.
I have a perfect example:

A few weekends ago when I went up to visit friends in Rexburg, Em and I ate at the Crossroads (BYU-I cafeteria) for lunch. As we were deciding which foods to eat, I made eye contact with this random guy. I did not know this guy &I had never seen him before in my life. Sure enough, he says the ever-so-popular pick up line. "Hey! You look really familiar!" He continued asking me my name, where I'm from, what I'm majoring in, and basically my whole life story. This random guy and I parted ways. Emily and I walked away laughing at all the times this you look familiar situation has happened. 

As we were walking up to the check out line, to pay for our food, this same guy walks ahead of us and motions to the cashier that "it's on him."

He paid for our lunch! FREE LUNCH! 

We were elated, especially because both of our lunches combined came to $12.50. I have never been so happy to hear that "you-look-so-familiar" phrase in all my life. We parted ways once again, and this random guy that I had never seen before was never seen again.

So thank you, you unfamiliar stranger. Em and I enjoyed our lunch even more then we would have.
