Chat-up lines - your favourites


What chat-up lines work for you? What's the worst line you've ever heard?


Is your surname Jacob's - because you are a real cracker!
Paresh Solanki, Pakistan

Back in the 1980s, my friend's sister was approached by a chap in a nightclub who said seductively, "I've got a teletext television and a microwave oven!" (it didn't work).
Andrew Virnuls, United Kingdom

Here's 10 pence go phone your parents, and tell them you won't be home tonight.
Paul Southsrd, Wales

While in the States for an extended period I found the particular words didn't matter - the English accent on its own seemed to do the trick!
Ron, England


I may not be the best looking guy here, but I'm the only one talking to you.
If you were a new hamburger at McDonald's, you would be McGorgeous.
I'm new in town, could I have directions to your house.
Asfoora Sarookh, Cyprus

Do you have room in your handbag for my Merc keys?
Clive Littlewood, England

Here are a few (corny ones) to keep you going:
1, Nice dress, can I talk you out of it?
2, Mmmmmmm, you bring new meaning to the word "edible"
Jay, UK

Him: Ten tonne polar bear...
Her: What?!?
Him: Ten tonne polar bear...
Her: What are you on a bout?
Him: Well it breaks the ice doesn't it?
Gomez, England

The internet gives a chance for those who have never had any chance of having a girlfriend/boyfriend to express themselves freely. Most of what people say on it they will never say in real life :o)
Probably the best way is to send a mushy love card from those online card sites :o)
C Duckula, UK

Whatever Austin Powers would say!!
Leo Sheffield, USA

A guy stopped me on the street in Edinburgh and asked "Where are you from?" I told him "America" to which he responded "My god, you're beautiful. Do all girls in America look like you?" - I accompanied him to a pub for a few drinks, then to dinner and a dance club so, I guess you could say it worked!
Beth, USA

When they made the alphabet they should have put U and I together.
Nurit, USA

I only have a worst chat up line - "if I could arrange the alphabet I would put U and I together".
Jaspaul Aggarwal, England

The absolute worst line I have ever heard was "you must great at fishing 'cause you've caught me hook line and sinker". Pablo Neruda he was not.
J. Espino, USA

"You look like my first wife" "Really? How many times have you been married?" "Oh I'm still a bachelor"
Robert Salter, USA

"It wouldn't be nice to cheat on your boy friend just because he's on holidays." Done twice...worked twice
Jason, UK

Is it hot in here or is it you?
Matthew, England

Could you lend us some money?
Jon Stone, UK

its just one "You are my Cinderella and I am your prince" works 80% of the time.
And " You are the Star that completes the constellation of my existence"
Hisam Siddiqi, Pakistan

My best chat up line (and it worked) "stop the horses I need to pick a flower".
Andy Allen, England

(At noisy ball.) Why don't we go to my room and listen to some decent music?
It worked! Another:
By God ! You're wearing my racing colours !
George Robinson, UK

Didn't I see you on TV last night?
Ren_ Canada

Thou art the flower of my life,
Thou art the sunshine in my nights,
Thou hast much more sweet smell than my deodorant.
Oh I got rather desperate near the end, but it made her laugh. Use a funny name - it will make her smile.
Paratrooping Parrot, UK

I once got sent a message at University from a girl who said that she was really turned on by my ginger hair and every time she saw a tabby cat got turned on. My God! Would you want to meet this sort of weirdo? No me neither.
James Wood, Denmark

What's your favourite colour?
Martin Docherty, Scotland

Get your coat love, you've pulled.
Emma, UK

Is your father a thief? For who else would steal the stars and put them in your eyes?
You hide them well, your angel wings!
Jonathan Lyons, UK

If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?
Isaac, UK

Not really a chat up line and not used as a deliberate ploy but girls always seem awful friendly when you say those magic three words - 'I'm from Ireland'! Always works a treat
:-)
Dave, Northern Ireland

That's a nice blouse, it'd look even better on my bedroom floor.
Does God know he's missing an Angel.
Did you hurt yourself when you fell from heaven?
Steve Lewis, England

"Do you like 'Nine Inch Nails'?" - I was very very drunk at the time. No, it didn't work.
