20 Women Expose the Pick-Up Lines That Actually Worked On Them
Approaching a beautiful woman is one of the most intimidating things a man can do. That’s most likely why so many guys do spoken cartwheels attempting to come up with opening pick-up lines that at the same time display wit, charm, and flattery.
“When I very first met my bf, he stuck out his palm and gave me his name, then instantaneously proceeded to ask me what I did for a living. I couldn’t help but give him a hard time. ‘That’s the best you’ve got?’ I joked. ‘Not, are you loving the party or a plain how are you?’
“But he instantly—and hilariously—recovered. He replied, ‘Oh, I’m just getting commenced. The evident follow-up question is, What are your five strengths and weaknesses? We’ll go from there.’ I knew anyone that quick-witted and well-humored was a serious catch.”
“After work, I went to the grocery store to get some vegetables for dinner. I was dangling out, bagging my beets, when a boy reached for the produce bags above my head. I looked over and eyed a fireman in a utter suit. He asked, ‘What are you making for dinner?’ It was an exceptionally plain line, but it embarked a conversation before the rest of his squad called him over so they could get commenced making dinner for the entire house.
“We met up again at the checkout counter. There, he sealed the deal by grabbing my receipt after I was done paying, writing his number on the back, and ending with a ‘Call me. Or call non-emergency.’ Super cheesy and he’s undoubtedly used it before, but I was totally into it.”
“I was at a club where everyone just sweatily grinds on each other. But instead of just pressing his goods into my butt, he actually talked to me and said, ‘Hey, I’m Jay. Do you want to dance and then I’ll buy you a drink?’
“I have a man friend who goes up to women and says, ‘I just wished to tell you, I think you are gorgeous and would love to get to know you better. If you want to have a drink and talk, I’ll be over there. If not, that’s fine, but I would have kicked myself if I hadn’t at least attempted to talk to you.’ It’s non-threatening because it leaves it up to her, and it sounds genuine even however it’s a line he uses repeatedly. It works almost every time.”
“One day while waiting on the subway platform, I noticed a adorable dude also waiting a few feet away. We got on the same train car and he sat directly behind me. After a few stops he stood up, threw something in my lap, and got off the train.
“It was a lil’ origami box, which I unfolded to find this message: ‘Nice freckles. Coffee? —Adam,’ and his phone number. I was coming from a party, in a backless dress, and my shoulders (only my shoulders!) are very freckly. On top of his ballsy stir with the origami box, the fact that he complimented a quirky part of me that people don’t usually draw attention to indeed stood out.
“I waited twenty minutes and then texted him, ‘Hey, it’s Freckles. I’d love to get coffee.’ He never responded.”
“This man who was sitting next to me at the bar asked me which band I was there to see. We turned out to both know people in the band, and it turned into a long conversation about other friends and interests we had in common.

“I was working in a cafe, and one day the bread delivery stud said, ‘I’ve been carrying around this Post-It with my name and number for weeks attempting to work up the courage to give it to you.’ I liked that he liked me enough to keep this grubby Post-It, but had been too timid to give it to me. We dated for five months after that.”
“My college beau picked me up at our very first campus-sponsored freshmen mixer on the very first night of school. He walked over with a giant roll of caution gauze and said, ‘Hey, hide this in your purse for me.’ I primarily refused, but ultimately he coaxed me that stealing an entire roll of Campus Safety’s caution gauze was a good idea. (We decorated our dorms with it and used it for Halloween costumes.) It was a good icebreaker; I’ll give him that.
“I was my now-husband’s (of four years) waitress. It was so totally cheesy, but it worked. I had given him his check and he told me something was wrong with it. I was worried and asked what was wrong, and his reply was that my number wasn’t on it. Of course I apologized profusely, corrected the situation, and walked away. (P.S. it helped that he was/is hot, too.)”
“I used to live over by a college and was walking home from the train when a youthfull man stopped me on the street and asked, ‘Excuse me, but do I know you from somewhere? Are you in one of my classes?’ I replied no, and he said, ‘Wow, I could have sworn I’d seen you in my pre-law class. Well, now that I’ve got you here, what would it take for me to be able to take you out sometime?’
“Even if it was all a clever ruse, I appreciated that he was attempting to begin off with, ‘Here is this common ground that I think we share.’ I had to turn him down because I’m already in a relationship, but not going to lie: He would have most likely gotten my number otherwise!”
