I think I saw you on Spotify.
You were listed as the hottest single.
Kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?
I’m going to be honest with you. I swiped right 50% because you’re cute, and 50% because I love your dog. What’s his name?
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
We matched!
Does that mean you’re coming over to my place tonight, or should we meet and establish we aren’t serial killers or living with our parents first?
Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?
Can I have your picture so I can show Santa what I want for Christmas?

Is your name Google?
Because you have everything I’ve been searching for.
You sound busy but is there any chance of adding me to your to-do list?
Hey, I’m writing an article on the finer things in life and I was hoping I could interview you.
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.
Just tell me you don’t clap after your plane lands, and we can go ahead and get married.
Are you a time traveler?
Because I see you in my future!
I bet I know when your birthday is. October 10.
Because you’re a 10/10.
Not exactly a pick-up line but I've always laughed at the "On a scale of 1-10 you're a 14 because you're basic"...a little science joke for you all lol
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”?
Your eyes are really beautiful, and I just had to tell you.
Remember me?
Oh, that’s right, I’ve only met you in my dreams.
I woke up thinking today was just another boring Monday, and then I saw your photo on my app.

I just bought kiss-proof lipstick, and I need a lab partner to test its claims.

I need to know what you prefer for breakfast.
Hey, you’re beautiful.
Can I tell you that again next Saturday over dinner?
Your eyes are bluer than the Atlantic Ocean, and I don’t mind being lost at sea.
As a blue eyed woman I hate the stupid phrases like these. There are so many corny and cheesy pick up lines that work better 😂
I haven't figured out if you're going to be the nicest person on my naughty list or the naughtiest person on my nice list.
I usually go for 8’s but I guess I’ll settle for a 10.
Life without you would be like a broken pencil.
Pointless
You must be a magician.
Because any time I look at you, everyone else disappears.
Are you the COVID vaccine?

a) Heading for the mountains.
b) Going to the beach.
c) Sleeping till noon.
d) Partying all night.
They say Tinder is a numbers game… so can I get your number?
Congratulations. You matched with the nerdiest (or any other self-deprecating adjective) guy on Tinder. To celebrate you’re awarded a drink at your bar of choice.
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
What's the best thing about elevator jokes?
They work on so many levels.
Just wanted to let you know, you have some cute on your face.
If you could be any comic book character, who would you be?
Are you a meme?

If you and I were socks, we’d make a great pair!
If I had a nickel for every time I saw someone as beautiful as you, I’d have five cents.
Are you Australian?
Because you meet all of my koala-fications.
I thought happiness started with an “h,” but I guess it actually starts with “u.”
I guess the pandemic is far from over because your smile is contagious.

"How are you?"
So I’ve been trying to come up with a good psychology pickup line for you, but I’m aFreud I couldn’t come up with anything.

Go!
I was blinded by your beauty.
I’m going to need your name and phone number for insurance purposes.
I was wondering if you had an extra heart… Because mine was just stolen.
Dog person or cat person?
There is only one right answer.
Falling in love with you takes less time than my DNA takes to replicate.
Idk there's something a little gross about this. I'd be like.. um.. now I'm just thinking about blood and DNA and all kinds of different things 😂
Is there a magnet in here?
Because I'm attracted to you.
This one always confused me. Are you saying you're made of ferrous metal? Too literal, I guess

What’s a perfect gentleman like me doing without your phone number?
I’m new in town.
Could you give me directions to your apartment?
I’d say you’re as beautiful as a Greek goddess, but from what I can remember from history class, they were all pretty crazy.
If you could any famous artist (dead or alive) to paint your portrait, who would it be?
Tell me, what can I say to impress you?

So, are you the kind I’d find climbing mountains and acing the diamond slopes, or chilling on the beach with a glass of wine?
Do I know you?
‘Cause you look a lot like my next boyfriend.
I’d tell you you’re cute, but someone else probably did that already, so you describe yourself in three emojis instead!
Roses are red. You’re cute as a duck. Let’s go on a date. And then we can cuddle.
There's a big sale in my bedroom right now.
Clothes are 100% off!
Want a raisin? No? Well, how about a date?
Do you like bagels?

Oh, cotton mostly.
Damn, you’re a knockout.
Was your father a boxer, or did you just get lucky with the gene pool?
My mom told me not to talk to strangers online, but I’ll make an exception for you.

You’re sweeter than 3.14. Tell me I just won the cheesy pickup line competition?
What's the most embarrassing thing I'll find if I Google you?
70% of the human body is made of water, and I'm thirsty!
You’re seriously hot. And I’m seriously happy we matched.
If you’re as good at cuddling as you’re good-looking, I’m signing myself up on the waitlist for a date.
Come on. Be honest: how many times have you pictured me naked since we matched?
This gives off like kinda creepy vibes tbh. I don't like the vibes this gives off at all.
Tell me: what must I do to get from “you matched” to “you saw each other naked.” Help a guy out here!
Sorry it took me so long to message, I was at Whole Foods trying to figure out what you like for breakfast.
Where have I seen you before?
Oh yeah, I remember now. It was in the dictionary next to the word “gorgeous”!
You must be a small amount of red phosphorus and I must be a tiny wooden stick because we're a match!
Being a perfect gentleman I’m trying hard not to picture you naked. So help me out by distracting me: what’s the best vacation you ever had?
Do you have a job?
I need a woman who can support me while I play video games all day.
I’m already picturing you naked. So what can I do to impress you so much that I actually get to see you naked?
You’re so hot, my zipper is falling for you.
Yeah, nothing better that some cheesy or creepy generic sentence to start a conversation. -.- Mostly people use this who didn't even had a second look at your profile, they just spam.
Best pick up line I ever heard was "I've broken my ankle. But that's ok because seeing you were interested made me feel like I was flying.... But seriously, my ankle is freshly broken, any date we go on is gonna have to be simple right now. I hope that's okay" it was cute, sweet, funny, and honest. He really had broken his ankle, got yanked of the porch when he went to walk his dog. Lol
Word of the day is legs, what do you say we go to my place and spread the word?
I don't care how much you take advantage of me, you're not going to get me drunk!
I mean, WTF, maybe it works on 16yo people? I would RUN far, far away
Load More Replies...
I have a good one: You owe me a drink...because when I saw you, I dropped mine
Are these actually good? I am not good at these things or flirting in general but I feel like some of these aren't really flattering or what you should say to someone you just matched with. I get that they're meant to be corny but I don't know, I'm always so lost with these things. Lol
In my opinion most of them are terrible. Personally I prefer something personal referring to my profile or just "Hi, how are you today?"
