Pickup lines are notoriously associated with college guys and drunken bar-boys trying to chat up a woman. And they often come off as eye-roll inducing or overtly sexist. In fact, you can bet your bottom dollar that anything sexual or overtly cheesy is going to have your woman rolling her eyes and laughing to her girlfriends about you later. However, there are a few exceptions to the rules.

Flirting with chat-up lines doesn’t have to be completely embarrassing. Often, acknowledging the silliness of a pickup line can save you from the bad connotations associated with one.

Pickup lines for the funny guy:

1. Kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?

2. You’re so pretty, I wouldn’t even need to use an Instagram filter if I took your photo.

3. Roses are red, bananas are yellow, want to go out with a nice little fellow?

4. Hey, you’re pretty and I’m cute. Together we’d be Pretty Cute.

5. Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I smile.

6. Want to come see my HARD DRIVE? I promise it isn’t 3.5 inches and it isn’t floppy.

7. If you were a tropical fruit, you’d be a fine-apple!

8. If I were a stop light, I’d turn red every time you passed by, just so I could stare at you a bit longer.

9. Screw the nice list, I’ve got you on my “nice and naughty list.”

10. Can I follow you home? Because my parents always told me to follow my dreams.

Pickup lines for the smooth guy:

Don’t like pickup lines? Use these alternatives:

1. Texting. Texting can be an amazingly cute way to communicate with a girl.

For all men trying to honestly learn the art of flirty texting, just remember the cardinal rule: When in doubt, use a winky-face. While some women find emoticons trite and beneath them, 95% of them find it adorable when a man uses them. Not sure if she’s going to reciprocate your flirtation? Use a wink. Saying a joke that is obviously silly or cheesy? Use a wink. Trying to make an otherwise normal sentence seem more sexual? Use a wink!

Emoticons are adorable, and nothing is going to make a girl smile more than a yellow smiley from the guy she really likes. Smileys make her feel like she’s brought you down to an ooey-gooey level that you’d be ashamed for your bros to know about – and she likes that feeling.

Plus, it lets her know that she’s made you smile!

#2 Sarcasm. Sarcasm can be one of the most charming ways to flirt.

Playful banter is a fantastic way to flirt, as it forms inside jokes with your potential partner, shows off your wit, and creates fabulous sexual tension. Just make sure she’s the type of girl who would get your sarcasm. You wouldn’t want to make the best sarcastic comeback of life, only to be received by a blank stare!

#3 Know what works and what doesn’t. Remember, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.

Don’t feel the need to go off a list of girl-approved pick-up lines, if that doesn’t work for you. Charming a girl is about having personality, and you know what works for your personality. If you don’t fancy yourself a slick charmer, then sarcasm probably isn’t your kind of wit. Not a texting guy? Then an abundance of smileys in a message will just come off awkward.

Whatever type of guy you are, you can find the greatest pickup line for your personal taste. And if you fail? Practice, practice, practice! There are always plenty more lines to try! In the end, flirting is flirting, so have fun with it and find what works best for you. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
