'Your legs must be tired, because you've been running through my mind all night.'

'Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?

'Do I know you? Because you look a lot like my next girlfriend.'

'Is it hot in here or is it just you?'

'Hi, I'm Mr. Right -- I heard you were looking for me.'

'You know what would look good on you? Me!'

'I'm new in town. Could you give me directions to your apartment?'
