Legendary pick-up lines of Middle Earth
It struck me as funny, with all the piratical and/or pop culture pick-up lines, there is simply is no depository for Lord of the Rings/Tolkien based ones. With that said I waited until I was delerious with a fever (okay, okay, a degree and a half over normal temperature and a stuffy nose) before venturing back out into the Barrowdowns with the audacity to fix this horrible injustice.
It must be noted, and thus repeated, that BD is a family site, and therefore wee little ones have access to allllll we say. Everything. No adult humor. Like always I'll get the ball rolling... because nothing is as inspirational as a rolling ball, right? For Ladies: "So...Did it hurt when you fell off of Taniquetil?" "Shouldn't you be tending the stars right about now?" "My! Thats the finest beard I've ever seen!" For Lords: "I couldn't help but notice how deep your elven eyes looked from the other side of the Eastfold..." "Snaku Snaga!"

O my, I've played this game too many times and it always degenerates into....well, you know. That being said:
Aragorn might try: "You are the prettiest girl in all the lands. I know because I've seen them all..." and, of course, following it up swiftly with "...because I've travelled so extensively!" Don't want to give the wrong impression, do you? Gandalf the White would definitely crow "Check out my new threads!" All women love stylish clothes. Samwise Gamgee might try the more straight-forward "Put that mug of ale down and give me a kiss!" He doesn't mess about with his words. And Manwë? All he would do is yell "I'm the King, baby!" and women would flock to him. For women are attracted to power. Good thread Valesse.

Hmmm.....
If Bilbo would try anything from "Why don't you come over for some tea?" to "Let's get this 111th birthday party started!!!!" So would Frodo mind you. Gandalf, well he could just uncloak couldn't he??? I did not just do that!!! Oops!!!! I meant he would "He, now that I'm not Gandalf the Grey, do you want to go out with me?" I honestly don't know how Mandos managed to get anyone but I imagine it was something like this... "Hey!! Want to come over to my cool bachelor pad that's NOT filled with dead people?"

Manwe upon meeting Varda for the first time: Your eyes are like bright stars on a dark sky.
Varda: Duh! I made 'em! or Manwe could go for: Want to fly to the stars with me on my personal eagle? I mean, a ferrari wouldn't stand a chance. stealing a little from Valesse: Among dwarfes (you could try it elsewhere but I doubt it would work): You've got the most beautiful beard ever! And the best is: it works for both the men and the ladies! Legolas just lets his hair fly for a while. And for all the dragons out there: You look frozen. I can warm up you

I just suddenly got this brilliantly strange image in my mind, which would kind of be like a pick-up line.
Gandalf singing 'A Whole New World' (from Aladdin) while stretching his hand down to a lady from the back of an Eagle. I've never thought of Gandalf to be the romantic type, though.

Hobbits:
A dashing young hobbit (with obviously no experiance with Shire-folk of the opposite gender) advances on his subject by saying "You know what I love about breakfast?" ...customary awkward silence... "It takes two!" (Second breakfast? eh?) "You, me, and a cup of tea?" Orcs: "Hey honey, is it hot in Sammoth Naur, or is just you?" "There is something in the way you decapitated that ranger yesterday that reminds me of the moon's shadow falling on th--" By now the other orc would have killed him.

Oho, but you're all forgetting

Sam - Well, going by the movies, he doesn't use words to express what he's feeling.
Boromir - All he has to do is stand beside Legolas and when the lady's flock to Legolas, they'll see Boromir and they'll fall for him to. Arwen - She just cheats on everyone. And knocks Glrofindel out!!! Eowyn - Has no time for love. She's to busy fawning over an 80 year old King.

I think while Legolas is standing there with his long gorgeous hair, he should do a hair flip and raise his 'bow'....I mean bow. Women love the bow. Maybe men, too.

I don't believe Legolas really needs a pick up line. Seriously, all it takes is shooting down all the damsels distressors then gliding (elves don't walk) to her and kissing her hand. By the time Legolas even raises his voice, she's already passed out in admiration.

Glorfindel would go for the pity approach of Arwen usurping his heroic rescue of Frodo.
Of course, Brego would go for the whole "I'm the Kings horse, fillies. He owes me his live. Neeiiiighhh *shows of by rearing*" Hmmm... What about the Balrog...? |

Focusing on Gimli
Movie Gimli: ..well he just has to say any trivial bit of bookish plot in some humorous fashion, and all of a sudden he is a stand up comic with a drunken fanfair. Way to go Movie-Gimli! Hundreds of lounge lizards are jealous! (Does anyone else think of Grima with the term lounge lizard, or am I the only one that can see him in tight reptile prints?)
Book-Gimli: "You know.. I've been to the gates of Moria, but your eyes reflect the moon FAR brighter." followed by low dwarvian growl. "I'd sail away with you before that elvish git any day of the week!" again with the low dwarvian growl. After some pantomimed "striking" his "target" with any of a various assortment of mining instriments he drops the tool and hollars "I've struck gold!" before emitting yet again, another low dwarvian growl. Yes folks: when it comes to dwarvian pick-up lines its all about that growl.

Surely applying them in RL is key:
"You're as short as Gimli but as fair as Galadriel...that's no to the drink then?" "That's funny. Similar thing happened to my mate Frodo Four Fingers..." "Ah, Old Toby. What? Hello? Something I said?" "Hola. Speak any Quenya?" "Hey. I know, I know, the queue. Starbucks is pretty much Mordor, right?"

Boromir the disco king might try something like "Your one groovy, baby...baby"
Gimli doesn't even need pick-up lines, he just blushes and puts on a bashful dwarf face and women come to him (ahem- Galadriel and Eowyn). And I can see Pippin saying "Girl, you must be from Edoras, because you are just edorable."

Well, elves could use the overly dramatic (but still romantic): "The light in your eye shines like a Silmaril."
OR "I really had the greatest Ring ever to give you...(softer murmur) but I kinda had to destroy it to save the world." OR Sauron: "Hey, good-looking. I've got this awesome Ring I'm gonna give you. It's gonna blow your mind!"

Werewolf pick-up lines...
If I were the Hunter, I'd choose myself to die for fear of hurting you.
If I were the Ranger, I'd keep you safe when it's dark. If I was a Wolf, you'd be my Little Red Riding Hood. If I were the Seer, I'd dream about you every night.

Male Orc:Hey! Yeah, you. You look disgusting. Horrible!
Female Orc: Me? Shut it, maggot! Male Orc:Maggot am I? Comes from you, you stinking pile of lard and filth! Female Orc:Oh, is that so? You're just a piece of mouldy dirt under a trashed claw of a severed toe on a limp paw on a crippled leg of a scabby body of a garbage eating Morgul-rat! And they lived happily ever after... At least two days, until their first fight. or (insert a maia of free choice): Helloooo babe. Why don't you let me be the love of your life? You know what they say: love that never die

More Werewolf pick-up lines...
If I was the Cobbler, I'd kill myself for your sake.
If I was the Cursed, I'd pray you were a wolf and you'd find me. (But that means you'd have tried to kill me! ) If I were the Black Beorning, I'd lose the game so you wouldn't die. If I was the Mithomaniac, I'd choose to be you, so I'd always be on your side.

And my favorite one, in the words of Legendary Frog... Legolas- "My love for you is like my quiver of arrows.... Neverending."

Pardon the double posting, but thought comes with time... and goodness there has been some time since that last post of mine.
For Orcsies: "I would never hate you... because you're beautiful..." "Dawns are red, eyes are blue, all of these scalps now belong to you." For Ents and Entwives: "You're barking up the right tree!"

"Pardon me, but are you elvish? You've been running through my mind without pause!"
"If Varda's stars would fall everytime I would think of you, the sky would soon be empty" "Were-penguins." "What?" "They broke the ice." And specifically for Bilbo: "Hello, I'm a theif. I'm here to steal your heart." Thats all for now.

Deep in the vaults of Minas Tirith, if you look hard enough, you can find...
Aragorn's patented 'never fail' chat-up lines. Including such classics as: - "You look just like my grandmother!" - "I’m not as hairy as I look." - "I’m quite tall." - "I smell great." - "Whoo-hoo! I'm king of the world... well, Gondor at least." - "May the Force be with you!" No wonder Elrond was so reluctant to let him marry Arwen...
