Pick-up lines #1

Having just returned to Singapore, my first errand is to hand in a document to a bank's corporate office. As I did not bring any suitable identification with me, I had to write down some details in the reception area. An hour later, I received a call:

Mysterieux: Hello.

The receptionist: Hello, this is x. Did u manage to find your way to y?

Mysterieux: Yes, I did. Thank you.

The receptionist: Where are you? Have you had lunch?

Mysterieux: Yes I had. Am at home now.

(after a long pause)

The receptionist: Can I make friend with you?

Mysterieux: Erm .. no, not really. I am sorry.

The receptionist: Ok, thank you.

(hangs up)

To be honest, I find these pick-up lines neutral, not good but not bad either. Some worse pick-up lines I have encountered such as "I love you" and "you look like my ex girlfriend" on first meets.
