    Not a pick up line but- “I don’t think I can do better than you and I know you can’t do better than me, so I guess we should just get married.” She sighed and said “yeah, you’re probably right”.

    I once tried the most cliche of them all - did it hurt when you fell from heaven. She actually found it funny. In the sense that it’s so stupid that it flips around and becomes funny. Nothing ever came of it but we had a nice chat on the otherwise empty train.

      imo the purpose of those cheesy lines is more to break the ice and get your prospective partner to laugh and loosen up rather than to swoon them, sounds like it worked to me.

    At a club, I just asked her “Wanna make out?” and we did. Very weird that worked.

    Me: Have you ever had your bellybutton kissed?

    Her: Yes, of course I have.

    Me: From the inside?

    It didn’t work, but she laughed.

    In high school, I dm’d a guy in my class “you’re handsome bro”

    His response was something like, “you too man I appreciate it!”

    We both assumed each other were straight after that, but like a week before graduation, he randomly tells me he had a crush on me. And when I tell him I felt the same, he was like “damn I assumed that DM was probably only a compliment”

      Lost opportunity for love because he ignored the “no homo” rule. Tragic.

    Not a line per say but my friend and I were shooting pool against 2 dudes randomly. One serenaded us with Bruno Mars “Just the Way You Are.” A short while after he randomly proceeded to guess both of our weights very incorrectly. lol I guess we made him a nervous.

        Sorry, lots of typos in previous message.

        So yes, I was in a cinema and told a girl to stfu. Next day she saw me in a bar, recognized me and was like: “fuck that, you told me to stfu. It was you.” We dated for a month or so.

    I feel like we need to add the extra constraint to the question, and worked. What’s the worst pick up line you ever used that worked.

      Naw, I think this is better. I’ve seen the “… and worked” version of this question lots of times, but I want the actual bottom of the barrel this time.

      Don’t get me wrong; “… and worked” still yields funny answers every time, but this is more interesting to me.
