All Pickup Lines Aren't Bad




But if they come across like pickup lines, then you are doomed.

The key is to not think of them as trying to "pick someone up", rather a way to introduce yourself in order to meet someone and see if there might be a connection.

Hitting on someone with a bad opening line rarely works.  Just ask any female and she will tell you that they are a bad way to go about meeting women.

Bad Pickup LinesBut you do need to start somewhere.

Unfortunately, just about anything that comes out of your mouth may come across as a pickup line.

It may be easier to think of it as a way to introduce yourself.

Opening lines have more success if they are funny, witty, original, and sincere.

They should not be crude, demeaning, insulting, condescending, or have overtly sexual connotations.

Unfortunately, there are a lot more "bad" come on lines than "good".
Let's start with some of the better pickup lines:
  • Do you know Mary/Bob?
  • How well do you know Mary/Bob?
  • Where's Mary tonight?
  • Are you Mary? (Make up a name if you have to)
  • Are you Mary's sister?
  • How long have you known .... .
  • That's a great dress!
  • That's a nice watch/necklace/unusual earrings!
  • That smells nice (her perfume) It's .... I think. (Try and guess what it is!)
  • Didn't I see you at ...... last week?
  • Didn't you used to work in .... .?
  • Didn't you used to go out with ....? .
  • So what's going on in Finance at the moment?
  • What's it like in ..... .?
  • What's John Smith like to work for ?
  • Have you heard about ..... (Something that has happened today.)
  • How are you today? (sound sincere and like you really mean it AND make her tell you!)
Don't forget to listen to his/her response...and then use the response to get the conversation flowing.

Now that you have a few suggestions of what to use...here is a list that you will want to avoid.


Bad pickup lines:
  • Is that the sun coming up... or is that just you lighting up my world?
  • Let's make like a fabric softener and snuggle.
  • Do you want to make millions? millions of babies!
  • Hi, have you got a boyfriend? (if no,) Are you taking applications?
  • Your senses must be messed up 'cuz your eyes are talkin' to me.
  • I tripped on a kiss and fell in love with you.
  • Guy: Did that hurt?...Girl: Did what hurt?...Guy: When you fell from heaven.
  • If someone was to write a story about my life, the climax would be when I met you!
  • Would you hold it against me, if I told you - you have a great body.
  • That outfit is horrible take it off right now!
  • Baby, you are everything I never knew I always wanted.
  • If kisses were snowflakes, I'd send you a blizzard.
  • Hey, your name is sexy, right?
  • Is that top felt? [No] Would you like it to be?
  • Girl, your body is a wonderland, and I want to be Alice so that I can run around all over you.
  • Baby, I'm like Taco Bell...I'll spice up your night.
  • You are so hot you make the windows fog.
  • Some say there are 7 wonders in the world. But to me, there is only one....You!
  • I have never had a dream come true until I met you.
  • You've got something on your back! (what?) Angel wings!
  • You've go something on you head. (what?) A halo.
  • I know I don't have a chance, but I just wanted to hear an angel talk.
  • Someone pass the tartar sauce cuz your quite a catch!
  • You're so hot, you're making my beer warm.
  • If you go away for a while then go back you say: "I remember you being pretty, but not this pretty".
  • Do you have the time..cause I’ve got the place!!

Remember, the key is to just be yourself and sound sincere.  Like you are just trying to start a conversation and nothing more.
