Being able to flirt IRL or over text is kind of an art.
Because whether you wanna be more flirtatious and fun in your own relationship, get the attention of someone you legit like, or even send a message to a dating app match, it has to be done in just the right way.
You have to understand the mood and execute properly. It takes precision. 🤌
Pick up lines can have the tendency of being a bit cringy and corny, but I think that if it’s done just right, it’s probably gonna help (not hurt) your dating life or relationship.
Also, beyond impressing someone with the perfectly smooth one-liner, it can be a good way to break the ice and make someone laugh. 🤷♀️
And while finding new ways to flirt over text or in person can be kind of awkward, I’ve curated some of the best pick up lines to make it a bit easier.
You’re gonna find anything from funny pick up lines to romantic and cute pick up lines. So whether you know the person would actually laugh at a corny pick up line or they’d probably like something a bit more sweet, I’ve got you covered. 👍
