I met a guy in Fuzhou. He was working in a little shop that sells convenience store type items but is just a hole in the wall the size of your bedroom openning onto the street. He spoke good English and was friendly so I went back another night to get a drink. He ended up taking me out to dinner - Chinese hospitality :) I told him about the pick-up line and he laughed and thought it was great. Later in the week I took him and his girlfriend out to dinner (well, they picked the place). He told me to try the line on her. She wasn't so fussed about it.
Fi and Jose have a Chinese tutor come to their place twice a week and on my last day in Fuzhou I sat in with Fi (Jose had something else to do). She is a lovely young university student, studying nursing. So, I tried the line on her. She laughed as well and said that it would be a nice thing to say to a girl (and that Chinese boys don't normally say such mushy things to girls - I told her that most boys are like that).
So, if you are trying to chat up a nice Chinese girl, you have at least a 50% chance of success :)
