Let’s be honest, guys—“Hey” is not a conversation starter. “Sup” is worse. And “You up?” at 2 AM? Please. Women deserve better. It’s tiring to hear the same dry attempts at flirting when you could be dazzling her with creativity (or at least making her laugh). So, if your love life is looking like a deserted island, it’s time to step up your game.
Here are 20 pick-up lines you should start using—some smooth, some funny, and a few just weird enough to work.
1. “Are you French? Because Eiffel for you.”
A classic. A little cheesy? Yes. But let’s be real—women love the Eiffel Tower, so you’ve got her attention.
2. “Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?”
Smooth, confident, and gives her a chance to laugh with you instead of at you.
3. “Are you a bank loan? Because you have my interest.”
Financial security and romance? This one’s a winner.
4. “Do you like raisins? No? How about a date?”
She might roll her eyes, but she’s smiling inside.
5. “Are you WiFi? Because I’m really feeling a connection.”
Just don’t use this if your actual WiFi is bad—it ruins the illusion.
6. “Excuse me, but I think you dropped something: my jaw.”
Dramatic? Yes. Effective? Absolutely.
7. “I was blinded by your beauty… I’m going to need your name and number for insurance purposes.”
Make sure you say this like you genuinely just lost your eyesight.
8. “Are you an electrician? Because you’re lighting up my world.”
A little spark never hurt anybody.
9. “I think you owe me a drink. When I saw you, I dropped mine.”
If you’re actually holding a drink, you can take this to the next level.
10. “If you were a vegetable, you’d be a cute-cumber.”
This one is dangerously corny, but if she laughs, she’s a keeper.
11. “I must be a snowflake, because I’ve fallen for you.”
Use this one carefully—only during cold weather or if she loves winter.
12. “You must be a magician, because every time I look at you, everyone else disappears.”
Pull out a fake magic trick for extra points.
13. “Are you Australian? Because when I look at you, I feel like I’m down under.”
Pause for laughter. Or confusion. Either way, she’s engaged.
14. “Are you my appendix? Because I have a funny feeling I should take you out.”
Medical humor is underrated.
15. “I was reading a book on numbers and realized I don’t have yours.”
Intelligent and flirtatious—great combo.
16. “Your hand looks heavy—can I hold it for you?”
Prepare for her to roll her eyes… before giving you her hand.
17. “Are you a time traveler? Because I can see you in my future.”
A little sci-fi, a little romance—this one’s versatile.
18. “You must be a parking ticket, because you’ve got ‘fine’ written all over you.”
An oldie but a goodie.
19. “Are you a beaver? Because daaaaam.”
This one works best if you deliver it with a straight face.
20. “If you were a Transformer, you’d be Optimus Fine.”
Geeky girls will love this. Non-geeky girls will at least admire the effort.
Look, not all pick-up lines will land. But if you can make her laugh, you’re already ahead of 90% of guys still texting “wyd?” So go forth, be bold, and remember: confidence (and a little humor) is the real secret weapon.
