Before writing this article I believed there was no such thing as a bad pickup line. I thought pickup lines were extremely clever and if not clever: hilarious. However, after scouring the internet for lines, I discovered so many that are neither clever nor hilarious and it is difficult for me to share them with you today because of my pure disappointment.

I have classified each pickup line according to my opinion, and although some of these lines are extra smooth, there is no guarantee that they will “pickup” or attract a person of interest.

Classics (neither good nor bad but essential for a pickup line vocabulary):

“Did it hurt?…when you fell from heaven.”

“Are you a magnet? Because I am attracted to you.”

“Are you a time traveler? Because I see you in my future.”

“Your hand looks heavy. Can I hold it for you?”

“Do you have a name or can I call you mine?”

“If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put ‘u’ and ‘i’ together.”

“Roses are red, violets are blue, it would be a shame if I could not date you!”

Best:

“Did you fart? Because you blew me away.”

“Was that an earthquake, or did you just rock my world?”

“Are you a bank loan? Because you have got my interest.”

“Do you believe in love at first sight-or should I walk by again?”

“Are you a 45 degree angle? Because you are acute-y!”

“Are you from Russia? Because you have got my heart rate Russian.”

“You look like trash, may I take you out?”

“Do you like raisins? How do you feel about a date?”

“Are you a parking ticket? Because you have got FINE written all over you.”

“On a scale of 1-10, you’re a 9 and I’m the 1 you need.”

Worst:

“Can I take a picture of you, so I can show Santa just what I want for Christmas.”

“If looks could kill, you would be a weapon of mass destruction.”

“Do you drink Pepsi? Because you are so-da-licious!”

“Hey, tie your shoes! I do not want you falling for anyone else!”

“You may be asked to leave soon. You are making other men/women look bad.”

“What is you favorite color? [color] Mine too! Looks like we are soulmates.”

“If you were a chicken, you would be impeccable.”

“Do you play soccer? Because you are a keeper!”

“Do you like Star Wars? Because yoda only one for me!”
