How you doing? 

That simple pick up line infamously won women over for beloved Joey in Friends—but do pick up lines work in real life? 

While they don’t have a 100% success rate, it’s all about getting creative with your pick up lines to catch the attention of your potential partner. They might be cheesy or corny (or dirty!) but adding that extra splash of humor and charm might just do the trick!

So, if you’re looking for some pick up lines to add to your repertoire, you came to the right place. 

Do pick up lines actually work? 

Striking up a flirty conversation can feel intimidating, especially if you aren’t blessed with that natural ‘rizz’. 

Using pick up lines is an easy way to start that conversation, with your flirty intentions clear, and a humorous entry breaking the ice between you both. They might seem cheesy but that’s kind of the point—showcasing your sense of humor and sparking a natural conversation

While pick up lines are primarily used when you first meet someone, or on dating apps like Tinder, who says you have to retire your archive when you’re in a relationship? Utilizing some of your favorite flirty pick up lines can maintain a sense of spontaneity and fun throughout a long-term relationship. 

What are some good pick up lines?

The best pick up lines take into account the context of the situation, and the person’s comfort level, and should be an entryway to the conversation—rather than the only thing you have prepared! 

Alongside some flirty conversation starters, these cute pick up lines might just be part of your ultimate ‘meet-cute’ story with your future partner. Thank us later!
