Romantic conversation opener From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pick-up line

A pick-up line or chat-up line is a conversation opener with the intent of engaging a person for romance or dating. As overt and sometimes humorous displays of romantic interest, pick-up lines advertise the wit of their speakers to their target listeners.

Pick-up lines range from straightforward conversation openers such as introducing oneself, providing information about oneself, or asking someone about their likes[1] and common interests,[2] to more elaborate attempts including flattery[3] or humour.[4]

Novices are advised to avoid standardised and hackneyed lines (particularly those resembling country songs[5]) and to put their opening in an interrogative form, if possible.[6]
