Funny pick up lines
that know they're a bit much,
and wink as they send.

My therapist said I should reach out to one cute person today. You're it. Sorry/you're welcome.

I lost a bet that required me to be honest with one stranger today. The honest thing is: hi, I think you're cute.

I was going to send a normal opener and then I remembered I have a personality. So.

Are you a skincare routine with more than three steps? Because you seem complex, effective, and very impressive.

Are you a high-end scented candle? Because you look like you'd make any room significantly better just by being in it.

Are you a Target run? Because I came in for one thing and now I absolutely cannot leave without you.

Are you a vintage Taylor Swift song? Because you give me nostalgic feelings for a great time we haven't even had yet.

Are you an IKEA instruction manual? Because you seem complicated, but absolutely worth figuring out.

Are you a perfectly curated Spotify playlist? Because you have amazing taste and I want to listen to you all day.

Are you a farmer's market on a Sunday? Because you seem wholesome, delightful, and exactly where I want to be.

Are you a well-organized planner? Because you seem like you have it all figured out, and I find that very attractive.

Are you a surprise party? Because I genuinely wasn't expecting you, but I'm extremely happy you're here.

Are you a top-shelf cookie jar? Because you seem full of good things and just out of my normal reach.

Are you my car's extended warranty? Because you're surprisingly persistent and I'm starting to think I should listen.

Are you a professional organizer? Because my life was a mess right before you showed up looking amazing.

Are you a piece of carry-on luggage? Because I can easily see myself taking you with me on an adventure.

Are you the solution to a really difficult math problem? Because I'm so relieved and impressed now that I've found you.

I've narrowed my pickup strategy to 'just be hot.' It's not been working. So we're trying option B: hi.

I have a strict rule about not messaging strangers. The rule has one exception. The exception is now.

I'd say I'm out of your league but you're in the majors. I'm in T-ball. Hi anyway.

Are you a well-written plot twist? Because I did not see you coming and now my entire story feels more exciting.

Are you a winning lottery ticket? Because I can't believe I actually found you and I feel like I should be screaming.

Are you a really good cup of coffee? Because you've made my day better before it has even properly started.

Are you a broken traffic light? Because I find myself completely and totally stuck on you.

Are you a free sample at a fancy store? Because you've given me a taste of something amazing and now I need more.

Are you my keys? Because my day is significantly better when I find you without having to look for too long.

Are you a pop quiz? Because you're making my heart beat a little faster and I feel surprisingly excited about it.

Are you an art museum? Because you're full of beautiful, interesting things and I could get lost in here for hours.

Are you a home run in the bottom of the ninth? Because you're an amazing and totally game-changing sight.

I've been mentally writing your bio in my head and I think yours is better. Slight loss for me but a win overall.

I have 7 unread matches and I'm prioritizing you. Take the win.

Statistically, we've already been dating in three parallel universes. Just catching this one up.

I just showed my mom your profile and she's already excited to meet you. Please don't make this awkward for me.

I’ve run the numbers. A date between us has a 93% chance of being awesome. I’m bad at math but very optimistic.

Let's just skip to the part where we're telling people we met volunteering, not on a dating app.

The universe has been sending me signs, and all of them look suspiciously like your profile pictures.

I'm pretty sure we matched so the algorithm could finally retire, knowing it achieved perfection.

I had a dream we went on a great date. I don't want to brag, but I was charming. Your turn to impress me.

Let's just get this over with and pick a wedding date. I'm thinking something in the fall.

My dog saw your profile over my shoulder and told me to message you. His judgment is flawless.

Congratulations, you've won 'Best Profile of the Day.' The prize is a conversation with me. You're welcome.

I've decided we're going to be that disgustingly cute couple everyone secretly envies. I've started practicing.

Don't panic, but I think I just found the person I'm going to be awkwardly dancing with at weddings for years.

Plot twist: we're the main characters on this app. Everyone else is just an NPC.

I've already thought of our celebrity couple name. It's terrible, but we can workshop it on our first date.

My phone is getting hot from this match. Either it's fate or the processor is overworked. Let's go with fate.

I'm giving you the exclusive opportunity to go on a date with me. This is a limited-time offer.

I'm not a photographer, but I can already picture us together. The lighting is fantastic, by the way.

I had 14 openers prepared. Using none. Panic-improv version. Hi.

Disclaimer: this is my A-material. If we end up dating I'll have nothing left and you'll know.

I'm aware sending this is statistically a bad bet. Also bad at statistics. So.

We matched! Now we can both stare at this notification and wonder who will crack first. I blinked.

I spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to craft the perfect opener. This is the result. My apologies.

The algorithm seems to think we're compatible. I'm willing to test that hypothesis for science. And, you know, dating.

I was going to wait for you to message first to seem cool, but patience isn't one of my advertised skills.

I almost sent a cheesy pickup line, but my deep-seated fear of rejection kicked in. So, hello.

My bio is a carefully constructed persona. This message, however, is the result of 20 minutes of pure overthinking.

I’m just a guy, standing in front of a girl, on an app, asking her to appreciate his clever but slightly desperate opener.

This is the part where I'm supposed to say something charming. Please consider that thing said, and be charmed.

Congratulations, you’ve scrolled this far to unlock a conversation with me. Your prize is my sparkling wit.

I'm trying to defeat the dating app final boss. It appears to be you. Any tips?

A blog post said to open with something better than 'hey.' This is my official attempt to follow that advice.

My thumb is tired from swiping, but for you, it was worth the risk of early-onset carpal tunnel.

I'm in a heated debate with the app's code about whether we're a perfect match. I'm arguing yes. It's not responding.

Swiping right on you was the best choice I made all day, and I already had tacos for lunch.

Let's just pretend this is my second attempt at a first impression and the first one was absolutely flawless.

I'm contractually obligated by this app's terms of service to tell you that I think your profile is great.

Your photos are arranged like you'd pass a personality test on Tuesday afternoon. I respect the rigor.

Your bio uses an em-dash. I'm not going to recover from this. Hi.

I've decided your profile is my favorite of the week. The election was unanimous (I was the only voter).

That houseplant in your second picture is thriving. I'm both impressed and intimidated by your nurturing skills.

Your bio mentions loving rainy days. I'm now picturing you as the main character in a very cozy indie movie.

The candle collection in your photo's background suggests a professional level of coziness I can only aspire to.

You have a picture in what looks like autumn. I respect anyone who has mastered looking cozy and not just cold.

Your bio has perfect grammar. I'm both extremely attracted and slightly terrified of your power.

The scarf you're wearing in your first picture looks so comfortable it should probably be illegal.

You're laughing in all your photos. I assume you're either hilarious or you travel with a personal hype-man.

The lighting in all your pictures is consistently amazing. Are you a wizard or just friends with one?

Your dog in that third photo seems to be judging me. Please tell him I come with treats and good references.

Your bio has a joke that's actually funny. I'm reporting you for setting impossibly high standards on here.

The sheer number of pillows on your couch in that photo is a testament to your commitment to comfort. I approve.

You have a bookshelf in the background. I'm now legally obligated to ask what you're currently reading.

That sunset in your third picture is doing a lot of work, but I have to admit, you're still outshining it.
