T hanks to what feels like hundreds of dating apps for every

imaginable niche and the millions of people who use them every
single day, talking to matches can start to feel really monotonous, really
quick. I mean, you can only swipe so many times and send so many “Hey,
how are you”s before you start feeling burned out, especially when those
conversations seem to go nowhere. But before you give up hope and
delete your dating apps, hear me out: Try a cheesy pickup line.

I’m serious! Sometimes, all it takes to jumpstart a new connection online

is a different type of approach. And when it comes to dating apps, first
impressions can make or break a conversation, which is why having a
trusted pickup line in your arsenal (or, you know, several) can go a long
way.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: Pickup lines are cringy. And I hear
you! They def can be. But that doesn’t mean they can’t still work on the
right person. There is an *art* to delivering a good pickup line and
making sure it lands—and mastering that art can mean the difference
between a fun, flirty conversation and one that goes nowhere. You want
to make sure that your pickup line is clever, that it lands well, and that it
doesn’t come on too strong. And ultimately, if pickup lines are an
example of your sense of humor, and it doesn’t land with that particular
match, then maybe that person just didn’t get it and it wouldn’t have
been a good match for you to begin with . Thank u, next, as they say.

Now that we’ve convinced you pickup lines are def ~the move~, we
saved you the frustration of finding good ones to use! (I know, we
thought of everything.) Below, 75 cheesy pickup lines that are cute, fun,
and flirty. Just remember to invite me to the wedding when one of these
inevitably works for you one day. Go forth!
