Guy: Do you have an ugly boyfriend?
Girl: No
Guy: Do you want one?

ye... but let's be honest. If he was actually ugly then she'd probably say no.

"Hey, I like your suit but it looks like it needs a Taylor. By the way, my name is Taylor."

Because, to be honest, flirting doesn’t come naturally to everyone, and we are sure it requires a certain skillset that sets these perfect pick-up lines apart from the really boring and mundane ones.
Psychology Today states, “Flirting is not a trivial activity; it requires many skills: intellect, body language, creativity, empathy. At its best, flirting can be high art, whether the flirter is vying for a soul mate, manipulating a potential customer, or just being playful.”
Well, when you consider flirting as an art then it seems like the artists of this thread are quite accomplished without sounding too desperate, and also ensuring that the receiver of the pick-up line doesn’t feel uncomfortable. Because some of these worked so well that the people involved ended up getting married! Now, how cool is that!

I had a really cute girl come up to me once, and say "Hey, I was wondering if you could see yourself in me later?"
Me caught off guard completely: "uhhhh I don't know, maybe" (because I'm so smooth myself)
Then she pulls off her wig, and pretends to polish her completely bald head with her sleeve, and bending down to present the top of her head to me. "How about now?"
It turns out that she had Alopecia so she just tried to make the best of a s****y situation. We dated almost a year
Pick up line: Smooth
Delivery: Smooth
Head: Also Smooth.

The thing about pick-up lines is that they are short, yet express a lot within a few words. So, the person who is using these pick-up lines should be either good with words or have the charm to deliver them perfectly.
A Forbes article mentioned that there are three types of factors that determine the effectiveness of pick-up lines: the type of the pick-up line (direct, innocuous, flippant), the type of connection one is looking for, and the personality type being conveyed. It also stated, “The psychology behind pick-up lines reveals that directness often holds the key to transforming an initial spark into a meaningful connection.”

I did an accidental one once. It was a time in college where I was doing a lot of Latin, and I met a girl at like a one-off lecture event. She said "Hi, my name's Amanda" and I said "Oh cool, in Latin that means 'the girl to be loved'". Then she kinda giggled, but I wasn't trying to give her a pick-up line. I was trying to give her a Latin fact.

Met a girl back in college. She was gorgeous. I kept looking at her, but was afraid of rejection. During a break she came up to me and said, “Are you just going to look at me or do I have to make the first move?”
Needless to say she never let me forget that.

That's basically what my wife said to me. We were flirting back and forth all summer. Eventually she was just like "do you have a crush on me? I can't be wasting time just flirting." The crazy part is I was so insecure I asked if she liked me back because I couldn't believe someone that beautiful could ever like me. She was flirting with me and I didn't realize it at all.
Talking about the effectiveness of pick-up lines, according to Psychreg, “Self-disclosure is an important factor in attraction. When we share personal information with someone, we create a sense of intimacy and closeness that can lead to feelings of attraction. Pick-up lines that reveal something about ourselves can be particularly effective in this regard.”
“Another factor that contributes to the effectiveness of pick-up lines is humor. When we laugh, our brains release endorphins, which are associated with feelings of pleasure and reward. This positive association can be transferred to the person who made us laugh, making them more attractive in our eyes.”

I was out for a jog. A man sees me. He says loudly, “If you are running to look better, then you can quit.” It was smooth. It put a big smile on my face. It didn’t seem like a cat call. It was smart, funny, and he did it was charisma.

And if she didn't like him, it would have been unwanted sexual attention. The line doesn't matter, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I once accidentally flirted with another man at an upscale bar. I was enjoying my drink and a man sat near me, and without a thought I said “your cologne pairs really well with my drink.”
He blushed, I blushed, the bar tender blushed. I wish I was that smooth with people I actually want to flirt with.

I once took a recently out friend to G.A.Y, it was his first time and had nobody else to go with. I sat at the bar to kept an eye on him, and a short while later a guy approached me and offered to buy me a drink. I told him I was straight and was just there to support a friend. He looked a bit dejected and said that he was recently out of a relationship and 'out of practice'. I told him, if he just wanted to practice he could still buy me a drink... Long story short, we spent the night flirting with each other and having a great laugh. We became really good friends, but most importantly, I learned that my "lines" were fecking great when I'm thinking on my feet.
Robert Benson 1 year ago
Nicely handle :) As far as I'm concerned this is how any straight dude should handle the situation. I've never understood why guys would get upset by honest flirtation. Unless, they are either projecting and assume the guy won't take No for an answer ... or ... they are worried THEY won't be able to say No?

Not to forget, this list could also be a silver platter for you. Who knows, one of them might work on someone, and it’s always ok to borrow the one that you like.
But for the professional pick-up liners, how about you share your gripping art with us and jot down some of your masterpieces in the comments? We are sure they will help out some amateur flirters out there!

I was on a plane once. I was in the aisle and there was a very pretty girl in the window seat. Before she got on the plane, the guy in the middle seat had said to the stewardess that he wanted to find another seat. Once we were airborne, I suggested he go, and he jumped up like there was a fire.
As he left, she looked at me as if to say, "What was that about?!?" So I leaned over, and I said, "Now it's just the two of us."
Ballsiest thing I ever said to a woman. It worked, though. We were married for almost 20 years.

If the room reads right this could work fine, especially 20 years ago, a time when people were less cynical, not prone to being triggered by every little thing, more open to meeting people, and casual conversation with strangers.

This is... For me personally? It's the - "Now it's just the two of us"... My mind image is of him leaning over with his elbow on the armrest saying that with a creepy lavicious look on his face... I'm glad that it worked out btw! But if it doesn't? Then you're stuck next to a guy who has made you feel very uncomfortable for the duration of the flight. Those disagreeing saying it was 20yrs ago? 20yrs ago or not? Anyone is allowed to feel uncomfortable at any time... It kinda feels like you're saying that Sexual Harrassment etc is a "new thing" and that it was okay to make anyone of any gender feel uncomfortable because it was "20yrs ago" giving them an excuse.

Credit goes to my buddy. Smoothest not because of the line, but just the way he delivered it, AND the fact that it worked.
We’re at a VERY country bar playing pool. Sees a girl eyeing him. We pester him into approaching her. He has no interest in chasing girls on this night, he just wants to play pool. So he’s gonna pick a bad line and deliver it “out of character” as he described.
“Hey girl, nice boots, wanna f**k?”

I wouldn’t call this “smooth” more “effective” : I used to smile at a cute guy across the bar and then mouth “come here” while waving him over. The adorable “ME?!” Looks they used to get on their faces were priceless. They could be smooth as they wanted afterward, but they always gave away any cool demeanor they tried to have with the initial utter shock. I’d like to also clarify that I am not a super model. I think guys are just so not used to this kind of attention that it was deeply flattering.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. If you like a guy, unless you know he has a gf, LET HIM KNOW. Guys are not threatened by unwanted attention, so the worst that can happen is that he gets a big head.

It didn't happen in English so the wordplay isn't as good but it went something like this.
Wintertime, icy sidewalk, very cute girl was struggling a bit not to slip.
I go: careful, you might fall!
Her: that's alright, maybe you will catch me over a cup of coffee
Her spontaneity really caught me off guard. All I could say was 'maybe' and walked away...yep, idiot.

We were laughing and cutting up, having f a fun time. When I had to use the bathroom, I walked past this cowboy-ish guy and he said “ I’ve been watching you all night and I can’t figure out if you’re a luscious southerner or a southern lush” Not exactly a pick up line but it was one of the funniest I’ve ever heard.

My worst ACCIDENTAL pickup line. Dancing in the Dark was playing. You have to know the video for this: I was on a stage fixing a speaker. I was wearing blue jeans and turned around and a girl was lookin' at me. I thought it was such a perfect setup. I even had a red handkerchief in my pocket, something I never did. So i said, I'll play Bruce Springsteen, if you'll play Monica. It was the 90s; everyone knew Friends. I pulled her up on stage. Then she asked, "When do I get to play Monica?" Oops. Forgot about Lewinski somehow. "Oh my God; I meant Courtney C*x." Well, I've often said that the worst that could happen when a girl is too aggressive is the guy feels complimented. I felt complimented.
