10 original pickup lines that cannot fail – Number 5 and 10 always work

3. “Don’t Tell Me if You Want Me to Take You Out to Dinner. Just Smile for Yes, or Do a Backflip for No.”

Ah, nothing better than a clever verbal trap to ensnare the affections of a woman. With this line, you can deviate from the norm and inject some absurdity into the dating scene. It’s like a line a Monty Python member would, and probably has, used to score a date. With this, you can spice up the normally acrid, oftentimes horrible world of pickup lines with something far more creative than anything a girl will hear on any given night.

2. “You’re So Beautiful That You Made Me Forget My Pickup Line.”

There’s no hiding the fact that this anti-pickup line is, in fact, a pickup line in itself. It’s a variation on the meta pickup line from a few entries above. But again, if you’re going to use a pickup line, why masquerade your intentions? Don’t hide it — have some fun with the concept of using a silly line to try to pick up a girl by pointing at the absurdity of what you’re doing, and hope the girl you’re trying to chat up has the sense of humor to join in on the fun and give you the benefit of the doubt.
