Anyone who says dating is easy ... is lying. It might get a little easier once you’re in the swing of things, but asking someone out? Now that’s terrifying. Enter cheesy pickup lines: just the thing you need to break the ice, whether you’re at a bar or using a dating app.
Before you dismiss cheesy pickup lines as too over the top or, well, cheesy, that’s the point. Opening with a great cheesy pickup line takes the of pressure off. You can’t say something like, “Do you like bagels? Because you’re bae goals.” without having a little laugh.
You can even finish it off with, “That was the cheesiest pickup line I know. Have you heard worse?” It shows that you’re not taking yourself too seriously and opens up the conversation.
There are plenty of openers to choose from, including classic cheesy pickup lines like, “Are your parents bakers? Because you’re a cutie pie.” You can also opt for a more creative cheesy pickup line, such as, “Do you know how to train butterflies? The ones in my stomach right now are quite untamed.”
If you really want to put yourself out there, then use a forward cheesy pickup line that asks for their number or implies you want to do more than just talk.
Unsure which direction to go? Here are some of the best cheesy pickup lines to use the next time someone catches your eye.
