Starting a conversation with a stranger is a terrifying thing, even more so with the opposite gender – that’s why pick-up lines were invented.
Pick-up lines can seem sleazy to some but, when used right, they can be great fun and an interesting way to begin a conversation with a girl or guy you are interested in.
Some people like flattering pick-up lines, others prefer humorous ones.
The team from the language-learning app Babbel asked its in-house linguists from around the world about the popular pick-up lines where they are.
The results were interesting and, it turns out, all countries, races and cultures use pick-up lines.
To make things interesting, here is a list of the most-used pick-up lines from around the world. According to many, they actually work.
1. Did it hurt? (What?) When you fell from heaven?
2. I was wondering if you had an extra heart. Mine seems to have been stolen
3. I’m not drunk, I’m just intoxicated by you
4. There’s something wrong with my cellphone. It doesn’t have your number in it
5. Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
6. Is your father a thief? (No, why?) I think he stole two stars and used them instead of your eyes
