The art of the flirty pickup line is a delicate one that, truthfully, can be hard to master. Pickup lines, when executed poorly, can feel cheesy and maybe even a little slimy, especially when theyâre coming from someone youâre 100 percent not into. Sooo much of a flirty pickup line landing depends on the delivery and the receiver (because not everyone will vibe with your humor, and thatâs okay!), and this is just the first line of your convoâyour initial approach!
So we get it. Itâs easy to feel nervous or uninspired when it comes to delivering the perfect flirty pickup line. But luckily, we know a thing or two about the modern dating game, and weâre here to provide you with all the inspiration you need to send your app match, crush, or hell, even your long-term committed partner of a billion years the right, non-creepy pickup line for whatever goal you want to accomplish. Whether youâre trying to land a date, initiate a sexy night in, or just let âem know theyâre on your mind, here are the flirty pickup lines we recommend you save to your Notes app like, right TF now.
And remember: If youâre flirting via text, make sure this is someone who has expressed interest in you before or who you already vibe with. If youâre sending one of these to an app match, pick one that feels low-stakes and innocentâaka, not sexual. A pickup line that feels too forward can easily come on a smidge too strong, and at the end of the day, you want to make sure theyâre consenting to receiving a sexy text. So play it safe unless you know for sure theyâre okay with something a bit more risquĂ©.
