Pick up lines suck because they are so obvious and so easy to see through. That being said, there were a couple of lines used on me that, while they didn’t actually “work,” I did secretly like.
Once, a guy came up to me in a bar and just said, “I think you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.” It’s kind of hard not to like a line like that, delivered with such sincerity. I might have given him my number if I hadn’t had a boyfriend.
Another time, I was out with my roommate on Valentine’s Day. We were both single, bored, and just sitting at a bar chatting. These two guys sat on the other side of the bar from us, and one of them I recognized from around campus. I’d never talked to him, but I knew who he was. He was from somewhere in the Middle East and was the only guy I’d ever seen going to classes in an Armani suit. He looked like George Clooney. swoon Naturally my friend and I pretended like we hadn’t noticed him noticing us. He came over to us and said, “What is wrong with the men in your country that they let two such pretty ladies out alone on Valentine’s Day?” more swooning That line almost worked. Almost.
So, maybe those aren’t classic cheesey pick up lines, but for any guys who feel like they may need a new line or two, those are the ones that made the best impression on me.
