People really enjoy pick up lines, even if they roll their eyes when they hear one. There’s usually a smile below that eye roll. When the bad pick up lines are directed at you (and there are some bad ones), then that’s a situation worthy of a “flight” reaction. But cheesy, funny, cute, and just plain weird, I love hearing pick up lines. I also enjoy using them on people, from friends to coworkers to crushes. Here’s a list of some of my favorite pick up lines that get you at least a smile (the good ones).
1. Excuse me, could you give me directions? To your heart.
2. I don’t have my library card, but do you mind if I check you out?
3. There’s something wrong with my phone. It doesn’t have your number in it.
4. What winks and has sex like a tiger? *wink*
5. I think there’s something in your eye… Oh wait, it’s just a sparkle.
6. Do you know where the nearest bakery is? I’d like to go get a cutie pie like you.
7. Excuse me, but you dropped something back there. This conversation, let’s pick it up later tonight.
8. Hey, do you have a jersey? Because I need your name and number.
9. Strawberries or blueberries? I need to know what kind of pancakes to make you for breakfast.
10. Hi, my name is [your name here], but you can call me tonight.
BONUS: Some awful pick up lines for your cringing pleasure.
1. How do you like your eggs? Scrambled or fertilized?
2. That shirt would go great with my floor. So would those pants.
3. Did you fart? Because you just blew me away.
4. Can I buy you a drink? Or do you just want the money?
5. Your dad must have been a baker because you’ve got a nice set of buns.
If you’re feelin’ feisty, try these out on person you like enough to look silly for.
What’s your best pick up line? I wanna hear ‘em!

Honestly, I stopped meeting guys that used pick-up lines when I was in high school or maybe I just stopped paying attention to them. Although I am embarrassed to admit the only pick up line that ever got me to talk to a guy for more then 5 minutes involved a puking snake.
I’ve never used a pick up line in my life. My interactions usually went something like this:
Me: (to girlfriend) Look at that baby. I want a baby.
Dude: I’ll give you a baby.
Me: I want a cute baby.
Dude: I just promised you a baby. Maybe you should be more specific.
Me: Fine, but when the dork gene kicks in, I’m done. I’ll send it back to you to raise.

I’m 4’9. Some guy once asked me if I wanted to be his “my size Barbie”. *shudder*

I think it’s all depends on the context that your are saying and the way you say it. I mean if a guy walk up and say these things to a girl just like how it is written, probably no success at all. But if he knows how to say it or say it in a context related to a conversation, I think it’s a turn on.

Pick up lines are stupid, as are the women who respond to them. Women who like pick up lines usually have issues that cause them to like being objectified. They are not even about “you” – they’re a generic token they toss to any woman who looks good to them. What kind of person feels flattered, or even favorably disposed toward someone who has already completely disregarded them as a person? They’re no reflection of the guy, since almost no one thinks up their pick up lines – they heard them somewhere and remembered it. When a pick up line works, it’s a dynamic between two phenomenally shallow people.
Case in point: Two of the most engaging women I’ve ever gone out with, I met as we both laughed at the idiotic pick up line I had just overheard someone trying to use on her. One of them struck up a conversation with me when she saw me laugh at her pretty witty rebuff. Why? Because unlike a pick up line, my laugh was about HER, and an appreciation for displaying a bit of intelligence, wit and self-respect.
The good thing is that it’s a largely self-regulating phenomenon. Women who respond to pick up lines are exactly the kind I don’t need in my life. Guys who use them and women who like them deserve each other. Let them stay together out of the way of relatively healthy grownups.

# 5 is definitely my favorite. So sweet!
I’m totally going to use Bonus 3. But only when I’m at my friend’s house watching video games and he does something amazing.
Example
*car flips upside down over the finish line; finishes first*
Did you just fart?
Because you just totally blew me away!

@Six_Days_Divided_by_Blondville@xanga - My first boyfriend used a pick-up line on me, he was using it as an icebreaker because I was seriously into drafting and architecture so he made one up to try and make me laugh. I’ve also had HORRIBLE ones used on me and I felt like taking a shower after hearing them, I think it all depends on the way it is being used.

@Trueinnerbeauty - I can see why your boyfriend’s would have worked, since it really wasn’t what the standard pick up line is. He knew something about you personally, said something about that, and it’s something he thought of himself, so it was actually a reflection of him as well. Good for him. I wish you two happiness.

@Trueinnerbeauty - Sorry to learn that, but it’s good that you can still relate the initial story with what seems like a degree of happiness.
