When you use a dating app, you often swipe left until you find a profile that catches your eye, making you feel excited like when you see a heart eyes emoji.
If you swipe right and match, you might wonder, “What should I say now?” Some people find it easy to come up with a great pickup line, while others feel nervous about starting the conversation for the first time.
When you start talking to someone for the first time, especially online, it’s important to be smooth and confident. Don’t worry if you don’t feel naturally charming; you can get better at starting playful conversations with a little help.
According to Callisto Adams, a certified dating expert, giving compliments, having a bit of humor, and being modestly confident can make your approach with pickup lines better, whether you’re talking in person or using an app.
Adams emphasizes the importance of originality, cautioning against crossing the line from corny or cheesy to creepy. “Make your sense of humor clear in your line,” she advises. “You don’t want to sound creepy or clingy—there’s a thin line that separates a creepy line and a cheesy or corny one.” duly noted.
Creating an exhaustive list of 220 pickup lines would be quite extensive, but I can certainly provide you with a diverse selection. Feel free to mix and match or adapt these lines to suit different situations and personalities:
