If you’re in search of an intimate relationship, or just meet people you’d like to get to know, there’s plenty of pressure that must be met to get the first conversation a hit. Pick up lines have an undeserved reputation for being cringe-worthy and cheesy. If you approach an exchange with the appropriate amount of humor and interest it could be the perfect way of having a successful date or number.
Introducing yourself to someone you’ve never met before is never easy, regardless of whether you’re using an app or in-person because the risk of being rejected is part of the equation. A well-chosen, but knowingly untrue opening line could be a great strategy to break the tension and break the ice. Try one of these phrases on the next person you’re interested in, but be sure to keep it going even in case they’re not.
