10 Cheesy Pickup Lines That Will Make You Groan
Do you believe in love at first read, or should I start this sentence over again? Take a seat — you must be tired after running through my mind all day. Besides, didn’t it hurt when you fell from heaven?
Love them or hate them, we all know a cheesy pickup line or two, whether we’ve been schmoozed with one at a bar or we’ve tried our hand at delivering one ourselves. While they might not always be effective in securing a date, they’re certainly entertaining to hear out of context.
Indeed, pickup lines are a pervasive part of pop culture: We see them all the time in rom-com and romance novel meet-cutes, and they’re also a big part of initiating conversations in today’s online dating culture. They’re a chance to make a lasting first impression in one or two sentences — although it’s not always guaranteed to be a good impression, depending on the quality of the pickup line in question.
Still, even if the delivery proves to be more cringey than charming, these adoration-filled one-liners are fun to laugh about after the awkward moment has passed. We’ve gathered up some of the cheesiest, silliest, most eye-roll-inducing pickup lines that are sure to make you groan. We suggest using them on an existing romantic partner and basking in the unbidden giggles (or groans) that follow.
