If you’re hoping to score with a special someone this Valentine’s Day, you’ve come to the right place. We are generously taking the time out from our Trump watch to reveal what WON'T WORK in your battle to woo those Arab, or foreign, beauties you have your heart set on picking up tonight or any other night in the calendar! The lush ladies of Al Bawaba have been hit on enough times over the years to know which pick-up lines will make women swoon and which will have them running for the door (or bab, or even albawaba)!
Arab shabab, we know that you’re a hot-blooded, smooth-talking species, but under no circumstances, dudes, is it acceptable (or cute) to refer to a woman as a 5asseh (lettuce), Hussti (my share) or, erm, a goat - yep, we really have heard that one before! We’ve teamed up with Cupid to share with you the top chat-up lines you're best off avoiding on whoever you've got your sights set on, man, woman, or goat. Hey, we're not judging, much.
