Of course, dropping the line "works" better in the context of a relationship with a man who says things to you like "Why were you doing internet dating? Why didn't you just go to the grocery store and let men follow you home?" 'cause that dog is only going to wander so far before thinking "Why in the f*ck did I leave that bone untended back on that park bench?" and will then feel compelled to call you at 7:30 AM on Sunday morning. However, the point that I might make that would be relevant to any situation is that confidence regardless of context is what allows a person to drop the line.
