75 Romantic Pickup Lines That’ll Sweep Your Crush off Their Feet

Mastering the art of a romantic pickup line is no easy feat. When delivered with confidence, pickup lines can be a great way to get someone’s attention and draw them in when you’re meeting for the first time. But whether you’re flirting via text or chatting them up in person, using a pickup line on someone new can be straight-up nerve-wracking. What if you stumble on your words? What if you forget the line altogether? Or worse, what if you execute it perfectly, but the (highly attractive, intimidating) person doesn’t get it—or isn’t into it at all?

If your palms are sweating already, you’re not alone. Maybe you spotted someone at a party and you’re dying to talk to them, but aren’t sure what to say. Or you matched with someone on a dating app and want to initiate the convo, but suddenly, your fingers are frozen. Whatever the situation may be, delivering a romantic pickup line is all about being fun, flirty, and calm—even if the butterflies in your stomach beg to differ. Trust us: There is a way to deliver a pickup line that’ll make the person smile (and not feel creeped out!).

Pickup lines might be a lil risky, sure—but sometimes, having a way with words can help you score a dream date. You can go the cheesy route, make things spicy (if you know the person well enough), or come up with something lovey-dovey…the possibilities are endless. If you’re feeling uninspired or intimidated by what to say, here are some fun, romantic pickup lines to help you start a convo with your crush.
