It can be difficult to approach someone you like, whether it’s a crush you’ve had for a while or someone you’ve spotted from across the room. Pickup lines are great…if they work.
If you don’t have a good one of your own and don’t want to fall back on cliches, check out these 14 pieces of advice (of varying degrees of seriousness, of course – this is Reddit!).
14. It’s a Sith legend, let me tell you about it.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis, the Wise?
13. Definitely avoid yes or no questions.
Presumably you already run in some circles with and/or know something of the interests of your crush.
When asking about your crush’s interests, avoid yes/no questions or list requests; instead, ask for explanations, insights or stories.
For example, rather than ask what your crush’s favorite movies or musicians are, ask how your crush became interested in a certain kind of music or the movies of a certain director or actor.
12. Definitely a good one right now.
What TV shows are you watching right now?
11. I’m pretty sure this is the premise of a Seinfeld episode.
capitalism or communism?. So you know what you’re dealing with
10. Like a job interview, but worse.
Step 1: Ask him/her what their biggest flaw is
Step 2: Interrupt him/her with something you think is lackluster.
Step 3: Offer several recommendations to fix said flaw
9. The question is fun, and the answer could actually tell you a lot about a person!
I do questions similar to a voight kompff test.
You receive a windfall of money, and can go on any trip anywhere in the world for a month. Where do you go and what do you do?
8. If you want to date someone who can bullshit like mad.
Take any object and debate on whether it’s a salad, a soup, or a sandwich
7. Do you like jazz?
Depending on the response you know everything you need to know. If they like jazz and/or if they like the Bee Movie. What more do you need to know.
6. This sounds…kinda douchey.
I’d always jokingly ask if she missed me. This annoys her so much she asks me something in return.
Cue a nice, old casual conversation between the two of us that usually lasts half an hour as that’s the time it takes for the next student to arrive and, depending on who it is, either joins the conversation, doesn’t care, or drags one of us away.
5. It must be a match made in heaven.
So we both got buckets of chicken…
4. This is such a hard question to answer.
Top 4 favorite movies of all time, it’s the best when it’s a movie you wouldn’t really expect from them or haven’t heard of.
3. All valid questions if you ask me.
What is your name?
What is your quest?
What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
2. I feel like this could go either way.
If she/he is quite attractive, during a conversation that involves a bit of more in-depth talk, like aspirations and what not, find a good way to segue into “What do you feel are 3 amazing things about you that have nothing to do with your looks”.
It’s a good one. Leaves a solid impression if you actually genuinely wish to know her/his feelings on themselves. They’ll remember it and that’s a good thing.
1. Bahahaha make them laugh.
Do you work at the zoo?
Because you look like a keeper.
We cannot be held responsible for what does or doesn’t happen if you pull any of these out of your pocket!
