Have you been using all the wrong pickup lines on ladies you meet? Here are 30 of the most adorable ones that are sure to get any girl’s attention! By Minot Pettinato-Little
Pickup lines are notoriously associated with college guys and drunken bar-boys trying to chat up a woman. And they often come off as eye-roll inducing or overtly sexist. In fact, you can bet your bottom dollar that anything sexual or overtly cheesy is going to have your woman rolling her eyes and laughing to her girlfriends about you later. However, there are a few exceptions to the rules.
Flirting with chat-up lines doesn’t have to be completely embarrassing. In fact, it can be as simple as a cute conversation opener or some form of flattery. Often, acknowledging the silliness of a pickup line can save you from the bad connotations associated with one. [Read: 8 classy moves to get a girl to notice you without even talking]

Don’t like pickup lines? Use these alternatives.
Remember that using a pickup line doesn’t only have to be a one liner at a bar. There are plenty of ways to incorporate your pickup lines into different flirtation methods, such as:
#1 Texting. Texting can be an amazingly cute way to communicate a pickup line to a girl. For all men trying to honestly learn the art of flirty texting, just remember the cardinal rule: When in doubt, use a winky-face.
While some women find emoticons trite and beneath them, 95% of them find it adorable when a man uses them. Not sure if she’s going to reciprocate your flirtation? Use a wink. Saying a joke that is obviously silly or cheesy? Use a wink. Trying to make an otherwise normal sentence seem more sexual? Use a wink!
Emoticons are adorable, and nothing is going to make a girl smile more than a yellow smiley from the guy she really likes. Smileys make her feel like she’s brought you down to an ooey-gooey level that you’d be ashamed for your bros to know about – and she likes that feeling.
Plus, it lets her know that she’s made you smile! [Read: 7 naughty texting games to try with a girl]
#2 Sarcasm. Sarcasm can be one of the funniest, most charming ways of flirting. Playful banter is a fantastic way to flirt, as it forms inside jokes with your potential partner, shows off your wit, and creates fabulous sexual tension. Just make sure she’s the type of girl who would get your sarcasm. You wouldn’t want to make the best sarcastic comeback of life, only to be received by a blank stare!
#3 Know what works and what doesn’t. Remember, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Don’t feel the need to go off a list of pre-girl-approved pick-up lines, if that doesn’t work for you. Charming a girl is about having personality, and you know what works for your personality. If you don’t fancy yourself a slick charmer, then sarcasm probably isn’t your kind of wit. Not a texting guy? Then an abundance of smileys in a message will just come off awkward. [Read: The socially awkward guy’s guide to flirting]
Whatever type of guy you are, you can find the greatest pickup line for your personal taste. And if you fail? Practice, practice, practice! There are always plenty more lines to try! In the end, flirting is flirting, so have fun with it and find what works best for you.
