Help from the blogging community?

I linked yesterday to the weirdest response to my blog, ever. I emailed the woman back, and today she sent me the list of questions for 'dating advice from medievalists'. The final question is 'what is a good quote from medieval literature to use in flirting?'

What do we reckon? Best medieval flirtation quote? I mean, personally, I discovered quite by accident that being able to quote Genesis B makes me powerfully attractive, but I suspect that's a particular quirk of the medievalist I was talking to.

Surely something from the Wife of Bath...

""Tell me also, to what purpose or end
The genitals were made, that I defend,
And for what benefit was man first wrought?"

Saucy!!!

Hahaaaa, I just thought about actually walking up to someone in a bar and saying that, and I'm really amused.
