Cheesy One Liners That Will Have You Going Home Alone

Okay, some pick up lines can be cute, funny, and even borderline complimentary. However, others will ensure your night out ends in solo sex.

Do NOT try these gag-inducing come-ons. You will regret it.

  1. “You must be a dog person because you look fetching.”
  2. “It would be great to swap bodily fluids with you.”
  3. “It's a good thing I have my library card because I am totally checking you out.”
  4. “If you were a vegetable, you'd be a cute-cumber.”
  5. “Want a raisin? No? How about a date?”
  6. “If you and I were socks, we'd make a great pair.”

  8. “Was your dad a baker? Because you’ve got a nice set of buns.”
  9. “If you were a transformer you'd be Optimus Fine.”
  10. “Do you believe in karma? Because I know some good karma-sutra positions.”

These are absolutely awful and there are plenty more where they came from, so be wary of where you get your dating tips and tricks. If you are using these lines, you may be getting ghosted frequently, and for good reason.

How to Make Cheesy Pick Up Lines Work for You

Just because they are cheesy doesn't mean you should for-go using them ever. You just need to know the right way to lay them out to make them work. 

Take some advice from the professionals and enhance your cheesy pick up lines with these great tips.

  • Have Confidence- No one is going to fall for any pick-up line, especially a cheesy one if it is coming from the mouth of a bumbling goofball. Approach the lucky recipient with your head up and your game on.
  • Say it Like You Mean It- You will only seal the deal with these pick up lines if you say it with passion and honesty. Don’t make it obvious you have no intentions of following through (You know, in case that is your angle.)
  • Personalize it- Not all pick up lines will work on everyone. Choose a handful of the finest and use the one that best fits the person standing in front of you.
  • Add Pizazz- Even the greatest one-liner of all time can fall flat if your presentation isn’t up to par. Add an accent, whisper it, or yell it from the rooftops. Whatever gets the best results.
  • Get Help- Ask AI to help you create a pick up line to start a better conversation. YourMove.AI is a great resource for improving your online dating swagger. With the chat assistant, you won’t have to have all the right words or even know how to spell them (BONUS.) You could also go to a friend, who successfully gets dates back to their apartment, and find out what they are saying.

Any of the lines above (except the ones on the avoid at all costs list) can be a great way to break the ice, make him or her giggle, and get the end results you set out for when you first opened your mouth.

Summing Things Up

Even if you have created the most iconic profile in the history of dating apps or a smile that puts the highest-paid models to shame, the wrong one-liner can definitely deter a potential partner. 

While the list above provides an array of cheesy pick up lines, they could be a great way to open up or lighten the mood.
