While, sure, pun humor can be corny as hell, it can also be a very cute way to flirt with your significant other. There’s a time and place for clever-yet-corny one-liners every now and then, whether you need to pen a sweet inscription for a romantic card, or you just want to make your partner giggle—there’s zero harm in having some loved up puns ready in your rolodex.
Love puns definitely aren’t the only way to show your partner your love (romantic gestures are important from time to time, too), but they’re an easy (and free!) way to turn your partner’s day around if they’re going through it. They’re also great tools that can help keep communication between you fun and fresh.
Another pun pro? They’re perfect for both your brand new situationship and your long-term, exclusive partner. Text a sweet one to your new lover for some laughs that’ll keep the conversation going, a funny one to your newest dating app match, or a raunchy one to your spouse to make them lovingly roll their eyes at how much they love you and your perfect comedic timing. You can also use love puns as pickup lines when approaching someone new for the first time! (Just make sure to keep it PG.)
We put together a long list of 60 love puns that’ll brighten the receiver’s day—even if they won’t admit it in the moment! You might not be the next Nicholas Sparks with these punny lines, but what’s more romantic than making your lover laugh?
