Do you know what's more attractive than good looks? Brains. And if that smarty-pants can also make you laugh, that's a double win. Cheesy pick-up lines are fun and work wonders to put a smile on that special someone's face. Still, they often get repetitive, and your Tinder crush might think you're being unoriginal and pretty lame. Go on, you little flirt, prove them wrong. Use chemistry pick-up lines instead. Break the ice using science. Establish your turf by equipping scientific pick-up lines and impress your crush with your intelligence and witty sense of humor.

Chemistry pick-up lines might just do the trick and get that reaction you wanted. (Chemistry, reaction - you see what I did there?) They are so niche and thus particularly brilliant and funny. You don't even need to be a science major to pull them off. Nonetheless, given that you've ended up in this article, I expect you to have at least some basic science knowledge. If you have seen a periodic table at least once in your life, that will definitely work in your favor.

Below, we've compiled a list of chemistry pick-up lines to boost the chemical reactions in your crush's brain. Prepare for a release of endorphins and, if you're lucky, oxytocin, a.k.a. the "love hormone."

The Rizz—What It Means and How To Use It?

Congrats, “rizz,” you’ve become the Oxford Word Of The Year 2023! To those not acquainted with the term, here’s what it means, according to Oxford University Press

“Rizz” is a colloquial noun defined as style, charm, or attractiveness, the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner.

Etymologically, the term is believed to be a shortened form of the word ‘charisma’, taken from the middle part of the word, which is an unusual word formation pattern. Other examples of this word-formation pattern include “fridge” (from “refrigerator”) and “flu” (from “influenza”).” 

Although rizz might seem like a spontaneous formation, the origins of the word are attributed to Kai Cenat—a streamer on the Twitch platform—who has been using this term since mid-2021 in his videos. Well, the phrase definitely caught on!

Rizz can be something you’re born with or achieved by using engaging chemistry pick-up lines, but each case and situation is different. Yet, everyone agrees that having “rizz” mostly means charming someone who was not that into you in the beginning. For all we know, these periodic table pick-up lines are a great place to start.

How To Flirt Without Being Seen As “Creepy”?

We hear you! Nobody wants to seem creepy when attempting to flirt, and this is probably one of the biggest fears of anyone trying to talk up to their crush. Our best advice would be to stick to science pick-up lines; they are as far from creepy as possible! However, if you were hoping for more concrete advice: 

ADVERTISEMENT

Read the signs. Pay attention to the verbal and body language of your crush, and if they seem uncomfortable, dial back your efforts. 

Compliment sincerely. A heartfelt compliment can never be read as a cringy pick-up line or something borderline creepy. It is always a safe choice!

Give them the space to breathe. Don’t violate their personal space, and be careful about touching them. Consent is the name of the game, even when it comes to a handshake.  

Use humor. If you feel the atmosphere is a bit tense or if you yourself feel nervous, crack a joke—no matter how lame it is, it is bound to ease you both up. 

Smile. A charming smile is as disarming as a good periodic table pick-up line. When together, they make an irresistible combo! 

As with anything else in life, keep it simple, and don’t try to go overboard with your efforts; it's best to take it slow and easy. And if you’d like to gain more confidence with these chemistry pick-up lines—dirty, clean, or neutral—continue scrolling this list!
