If we're going to talk about Tinder pickup lines, it might be helpful to define what a pick-up line even is.


Whether it's a funny pick-up line or something more sexual, a pick-up line is anything that gets a conversation started. See, a pick-up line isn't defined by the words that you use, rather it's defined by its (desired) outcome.


So while it might feel a little scary to talk to strangers online, understanding the anatomy of a conversation can take some of the guesswork out of the experience.

Everything that's old is new again! Some of the cheesy pick-up lines that might have gotten you slapped, or gotten a drink thrown in your face if used on a stranger in a bar can now win you laughs or smiles online. The trick is to make it obvious that you're in on the joke.


Try challenging your match to a cheesy pickup line competition and get the ball rolling with one of your favorites. There are so many good pickup lines to choose from, a cheesy Tinder pick up line competition like this will be hard for your match to resist.

One of the most popular opening lines out there, a game of two truths and a lie is endlessly customizable.


Use this familiar format to share important information about yourself, or to get your match to open up to you. Because it's framed like a game, it's easier to share personal information without making it sound like TMI.

Take a close look at what your match has said in their profile and what they're showing in their pictures to gain inspiration. Then, turn the expected responses on their head.


Sure, it's easy to say something that amounts to, "Hey, you like that place? I like that place too!" And while even that still beats a one-word message, it lacks a bit of extra flair.


Instead, show that you don't take yourself too seriously by poking fun at yourself. Does their profile say they're a champion chess player? Tell them you beat everyone in your fifth-grade class, and you're ready to challenge them. Maybe they're a world-class chef? Offer to make them the best boxed mac and cheese they've ever tasted.

While it can be risky to suggest a date right off the bat, you can use a pick up line to playfully suggest being in the same place... and that can get the ball rolling.


Try a message like, "I just cut myself chopping vegetables, do you have a band-aid?" or "I'm on my way to pick up Chinese food, what can I get you?"


Need more ideas? How about,


"The perfect Friday night: a trip to the hottest bar or staying home watching Netflix?"

"Dinner plans: Five-star restaurant or cut to the chase and go straight for dessert?"

"The best cure for a boring Monday? Having a good weekend to remember."

"Your place tonight or mine?"

The best lines for Tinder are the ones that get a response, and that means finding the right style for you. Being funny isn't for everyone, but if humor is your comfort zone, don't hesitate to lean into it. Studies have consistently shown that humor works!


Try something like, "I'm new here, can you give me directions to your favorite restaurant?" Depending on how she answers, you might just be a few sentences away from a first date.


Need more suggestions, here are some to try:


"I don't believe in love at first sight but your dog looks like the perfect gentleman."

Genuine compliments (that don't get creepy) work for a reason — everyone likes a little flattery. Try something like, "All your pics are gorgeous, I can't pick a favorite one to compliment!"


And to avoid coming across as too serious, pair it with your favorite GIF to help keep the compliment light and playful.


Another line you can try is, "This is pretty crazy, but you're the best looking girl I've seen online."

The data doesn't lie — getting explicit right away simply doesn't work. So even if you're hoping to swap bodily fluids, you'll need to find something else to talk about first!


Try to remember how much weird stuff women run into when they talk to strangers online, and do your best to stand out from the crowd — in a good way. You don't want to become the next horror story they share on social media. Sexual pickup lines don't always work so tread carefully if you're thinking of using one.

Remember, one reason pick-up lines get a bad reputation is that they're generic. Whenever possible, you want to customize the pickup line you use to the person you're sending it to.


Especially when it comes to online dating, a good pickup line feels personal. If it's a line you could use on a dozen different people, it might be a dud.


Sometimes that just means changing a small detail, like referencing the color of their eyes, and sometimes it means a tie-in to an interest they've listed on their profile.


Show your match that you're making an effort, and it'll go a long way towards getting an answer.

Conclusion

Good pickup lines can be exchanged. Comics use it all the time for their punchline. The best idea is still to understand the deepest principles, rather than memorizing canned lines that will quickly become overrated.
