I Walk Alone!

Category: Pick-up lines
Phrase in Italian: Abiteremmo insieme?
Translation: Shall we walk together?
Story: I discovered this line while walking home from Parco Savello. An Italian man, who had been in the park with me, walked up behind me and posed the question. Though I tried to pull the “Non parlo Italiano” he proceeded to ask again in English. Up until this point in the conversation, I had assumed that he wished to walk together simply because we were both going the same direction. This assumption was broken when I asked the next question “Where are you going?” to which he responded, “Wherever you are.” Therefore, should someone ask you “Abiteremmo insieme?” just say No, unless you really do want an Italian man to escort you home.
