My Flirty One-Liners That Still Work at My Age

by Vivian Vale, 55

After that girls' night my whole table howled and my friend still hasn't forgiven me. So here are the seven flirty one-liners that still work at my age.

  • Are you the dessert? "Are you the dessert?" The young waiter turned redder than the lava cake.
  • Menu or me? "Is that the full menu or are you on it?" The 38-year-old bartender gave me his number.
  • Sweet tooth? "Got a sweet tooth, Honey?" The 42-year-old nearly spilled my martini.
  • Save room? "Save room for something better than cheesecake?" My girlfriend kicked me again.
  • Lava or you? "Is that lava cake melting or is it just you?" He laughed and brought extra spoons.
  • On the rocks? "Old fashioned on the rocks? Because you look like trouble." The shirtless runner type winked back.
  • Final course? "Skip the tiramisu and go straight to the final course?" The whole bar bought us drinks.

That last one still gets me free appetizers every time.
