Eighteen Women Expose Their Most Successful Pickup Lines
"Your figure is about sixty five percent water and I’m thirsty." Yep.
1. "I once asked a man, ‘Dinner before dessert? ��’ and it worked — we literally got dinner before dessert." —Brigette, 23
Two. "My go-to pickup line when I was still single was to walk up to a stud and simply ask, ‘Truth or dare?’ I found that it served as a fine way to determine how joy a stud was if he played along or gave me a look of confusion. It made me seem bold and joy. Plus, both options open up the conversation in interesting ways." —Lynn, 29
Three. "I once told a dude I’d go home with him if he could name all members of the Backstreet Boys. It worked." —Lydia, 24
Four. "I was texting a boy I met at a party a little while back and at very first I didn’t think he’d text me at all. So when he did, I dreamed to attempt and be as funny as possible, but because I’m so exceptionally awkward I said, ‘Have you ever read Dr. Seuss? Because green eggs and DAMN!’ He responded with laughing emojis and we ended up shortly dating for a few months. Sometimes being your awkward self pays off!" —Amanda S., 23
Five. "I had a super-cute waiter, so before I left, I wrote on the bill, ‘You’re lovely. I like you. Text me.’ and it worked. He called me that night after he got off work and we dated for a few years." —Jovanna, 22
7. "This dude I knew from school would always ask me if I wished to go on a wine date as he found out I loved wine. I kept turning him down because I didn’t think he was my ‘type’ and when I graduated, I returned back to the school to visit. We had a connection there that I never noticed before and so after two days of running into him, I texted him and said, ‘So how about that wine date?’ He said when he got the text, he was indeed thrown back and couldn’t believe it was actually happening. We’ve been dating for two years now." —Shannon, 24
9. "Sometimes I’ll ask if their name is John and then say, ‘OMG, I’m sorry, I thought you were someone I went to middle school with.’ Then we end up talking and it usually leads to a smooch or two." —Sophie, 22
Ten. "You owe me a tour to an art gallery and I have come to collect." —Kate, 23
11. "I stared at this dude, walked over to him, and said, ‘I love your T-shirt. It truly brings out your eyes.’ He instantly asked me out on a date." —Adeline, 21
