The wind-fueled fire has forced thousands to evacuate
Not only are you complimenting their looks in a way that doesn’t feel like too much, but you’re also kicking off the conversation.
There’s a reason why everyone says confidence is sexy, and this is one of the most confident lines out there.
Obviously you can swap out the “boyfriend,” perhaps “wife” or “husband” if you’re already in a relationship and looking for a little more.
This one is especially great if you really are a historian, otherwise you can talk about what your actual profession is when you go on that date.
To be honest, the logic on this one is a little sketchy—are you also a time traveler or a clairvoyant in this scenario? Still, it’s bound to get a smile.
Complimenting them while you show off the fact that you know your way around a kitchen is a recipe for success.
You risk them thinking you’re a weirdo who really cares about raisins before you get to the second question, but you might also find that they also, for example, hate raisins in cookies, and then you already have something in common to talk about on your date!
We’ve all heard the parking ticket pickup line (“Are you a parking ticket? Because you have fine written all over”), so this is a refreshing and unexpected take.
This is a great line because it goes beyond just complimenting their looks but keeps things light with a joke.
This works as a great pickup line but also as a sweet response whenever someone woos you—even if you’re already in a relationship!
This one is a cute and creative way to pledge your complete and utter admiration for a total stranger.
This is a sneeze-specific pickup line, but one that really comes in handy during allergy season.
If you’re the kind of person who is only emboldened to approach someone after making eye contact, this one’s for you.
Go up to them asking if they can help you with something, with a very concerned look on your face. Give them a second to take a look at the phone, then go in for the punchline.
Introduce your name first and then say, “But you can call me Ariel” or “the Little Mermaid” for full effect!
Make sure you don’t give them too much time between the delivery of these two lines or else they might worry that their appearance is so rough that you’re coming up to them in actual concern!
The success of this does rely on the person saying yes, but if they don’t think you should follow your dreams, are they really worth hitting on anyway?
Take this as a lesson: when in doubt, pun it out.
In an ideal world or if you’re already in a relationship with someone, this is also a hilarious way to initiate a kiss.
Telling someone they’re a work of art just feels so much more elevated than telling them they’re pretty, cute, handsome, hot, or any other compliment on their appearance.
This one is funny because it has the potential to initially annoy a woman, especially if it’s coming from a man, but then it subverts expectations.
First flatter them by making them think that you think they’re a famous musician, then flatter them again to seal the deal while also figuring out if they’re single.
If you haven’t heard, a new way to describe beautiful people is by calling them a “snack.” If you have enough finesse, you can turn this line into a movie date by adding, “Good thing you’re actually a whole meal!”
It’s good to baffle people upon first approach, because the satisfaction of the second part of the pickup line will give them the feeling of suddenly being in a much better mood.
There are many ways to tell a person they’re the hottest in the room, but this is one that is sure to get a laugh.
You could also go the opposite route if you’re a little more comfortable with them and ask, “Can you hold this for a second?” while putting out your hand as if you’re holding something in it. Then when they reach out to receive it, you put your hand on theirs.
If they say no, it’s a yes to the date. If they say yes, it’s still a yes. Deviously brilliant!
A compliment and a slick way to get someone’s number? This pickup line is working double-time.
A pickup line in disguise as not-a-pick-up line… genius!
