Damn, here we go again. You ended up downloading Tinder for the umpteenth time. You’re not sure why you keep doing it, but there’s something about that little red icon that makes you think maybe this time will be different. Despite some matches here and there, you still struggle to find the right words to start a conversation and do some good flirting without sounding cringe or utterly inappropriate. The truth is, Tinder conversations can be tough to start. You always feel like you’re just sending boring messages that don’t really mean anything.
But then, there are always those who are super good at it. The ones who know how to make you laugh through their pick-up line and get you interested in chatting with them. So how do they do it? What’s their secret conversation starter? We’ve searched the internet and put together this handy collection of the best Tinder pick-up lines and flirty jokes that will help you break the ice with your new match! Cheesy, dirty, funny, corny, smooth, cute: we have everything from A to Z!

You must be a banana, because you are a-peeling to me. “You must be jelly, ’cause jam doesn’t shake like that.” Are you spaghetti? ‘Cause I’m tangled up in you.” “Do you like pasta? ‘Cause I’d love to penne-trate your heart.” My fav pick up lines

Kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?

Only birds, crocodilians are from a sister clade to the dinosaurs, and cockroaches are insects which aren't particularly closely related to any vertibrates dinosaurs included.

This one works, but only best to use if you mean it. And not to bang a random person. This is not off of experience, only because it seems like an assholeish thing to do if you don’t mean it

Aside from being old, this is also grammatically incorrect. Fails on both counts for me. I don’t want a used pickup line; make up something clever on your own! That’ll melt my heart and stimulate my brain.

Hey, I’m writing an article on the finer things in life and I was hoping I could interview you.
Yada Yuki 3 years ago
Bruh! I used this line on a chick in uni before and she actually showed up for the interview. Asked if I run a blog or something. Long story short, I ended up interviewing her because one, I was too disappointed at how ridiculous this was and second I couldn't just bail out all of a sudden yet I was at the cafe.
Lynne Schultz 3 years ago
These are good for comic relief but I hope no one actually uses them! Lines don't work. Just read the profile, find a common interest, comment on that interest, ask a question about the person. Simple, short, quick but it shows you read the profile, you have something in common, and you are curious to know more about them.

Do you ever just lie down at night, look up at the stars and think about all the messed-up things in the world? Like why is there a “D” in “fridge” but no “D” in “refrigerator”?

I wonder if this works better if you self deprecate or if you try to "sell yourself," I mean confidence is supposed to be good but overconfidence is bad, and self deprecation is supposed to be funny but doesn't always come off that way either
