Pickup lines can be a bit cheesy, but sometimes it’s all you need to do to close the gap between you and a woman you’re dying to talk to. As long as you don’t use a creepy or groan-inducing pickup line A clever/sweet/funny line can be a refreshing break from the usual ‘I saw you across the room or ‘Hi, what’s your name?’ And if you get a laugh you can really count on being strong.

Another thing to consider when using a line is that it should be something you actually like to say. If you use a line that is completely out of character for you, it will be obvious to them in the next few minutes of the conversation. So try to go with something natural!
