10. May I offer you a light for that votive candle?

9. Hi there. My buddy and I were wondering if you would settle a dispute

we're having. Do you think the word should be pronounced HOMEschooling, or homeSCHOOLing?

8. Sorry, but I couldn't help notice how cute you look in that ankle-length, shapeless, plaid jumper.

7. What's a nice girl like you doing at a First Saturday Rosary Cenacle like this?

6. You don't like the culture of death either? Wow! We have so much in common!

5. Let's get out of here. I know a much cozier little Catholic bookstore downtown.

4. I bet I can guess your confirmation name.

3. You've got stunning scapular-brown eyes.

2. Did you feel what I felt when we reached into the holy water font at the same time?

1. Confess here often?

I'm surprised a forum member didn't post that these are really ROMAN Catholic pick up lines and would not work in the East...

Byzantine pick-up lines:

10. Oh, there is someone underneath that head covering.

9. I felt something when we both reached for the same piece of antidoron.

8. Do you always stand in this place?

7. I couldn't help but notice how the icon of St. Charalampos reflects in your face.

6. I notice you light candles at this icon often.

5. What's your name day and patron? Mine's...

4. Did I mention I know all of the samohlasni tones?

3. Let's find a nice cozy lavra where we can both live monastic lives of mutual chastity.

2. Wow, you celebrate Theophany on the Julian Calendar too?

1. It's so romantic when you quote the Philokalia.

OK, I've lost it.

Okay...since we are going with Eastern pick-up lines:

Know any good pierogi recipes...

you have eyes like an Icon...windows to another world...( I would melt at this one biggrin )

Did you feel that, when we both bent to kiss the Icon and our heads bumped?

In addition to the one-liners above, how does a man know a Byzantine woman is getting serious about marriage?

She shares with him the family recipe for making pierogies.

The measurement her baba is taking around his head isn�t for a comfy winter hat, but for a crown.

She wants to watch the �Deer Hunter� over and over with him, but only the first half hour of the movie.

She names her car after him for the blessing of cars on the feast of St. Elias.

He is invited by her to role-play the crowning ceremony with her for the attendees at the next Pre-Cana conference.

At Paschal Matins, she tells him that they both look �quite the couple� holding candles together standing side by side.

She asks him what he thinks of names such as: Nicholas, Michael, Anastasia, Sophia, Helen, Constantine, and Vladimir.

Somehow I don't think that would cheer a militant feminist, but since I'm not one...pass another plate of the pierogies... biggrin
