Are you an angle that’s less than 90 degrees? Because you’re acute-y. If that pick-up line wasn’t good enough for you, don’t worry: The Lance has got you covered. After scouring the internet for the top 10 best pick-up lines, we’ll have our one and only staff writer Omar to test them out in person so you’ll know exactly how to rizz up your potential Valentine’s date. You may have heard of “The Lance Tries”, but we’re now introducing to you “Omar Tries.”
But before we have our HIGHLY-qualified staff writer test these out, we’ll rank which ones are the most effective in securing you a date this Valentine’s Day. Trust us–we’re experts on this.
- Is your name ChatGPT? Because I can’t survive without you.
Whether students like to admit it or not, ChatGPT is incorporated into their everyday lives. As ChatGPT is vital for life advice, planning trips, or completing your assignments (shh), we humans are becoming more reliant on ChatGPT. So, not only is this pickup line relatable, it’s humorous and playful, earning its spot at number one.
2. Are you a keyboard? Because you might just be my type.
We ranked this one second because of its creativity. For some reason, cheesy pick-up lines about technology seem to be hitting the mark… Bonus points if your potential date is a computer nerd–they’ll be sure to reciprocate your feelings with this one.
3. Your hand looks heavy, can I hold it for you?
Now, this is a pick up line. If you’ve been trying to find ways to hold someone’s hand, this is a perfect way to ask. In order for this to work, you have to be confident and make sure your hands are squeaky clean. No one wants to hold a sweaty hand. This line is radiating with charisma which is exactly why we put this one at third.
4. Are you from Tennessee? Because you’re the only 10 I see.
We all know that New Jersey is the true 10 in all of our eyes, but for this pick-up line, we’ll let it slide. This line is the perfect combination of creativity and cheesiness, making it a top contender for your potential future dates.
5. I don’t like to chase, but I’d put my Crocs in sport mode for you.
We know Crocs aren’t everyone’s preferred choice of footwear, especially with the recent rise of Birkenstocks and their grip on teenagers. We think of Crocs more as a middle school/freshman year fashion statement, so we’ll only recommend this one for the younger crowd here at OT.
6. Are you Google? Because you have everything I’ve been searching for.
This pickup line may have been cute a few years ago, but with ChatGPT slowly replacing Google, it’s getting outdated. Still, we’ll give this one credit for all the times Google has saved us with Quizlet answer keys.
7. Didn’t we take a class together? I could’ve sworn we had chemistry.
If you’re a sophomore in high school, this is perfect for you. Now, if you’re an upperclassmen this might bring up some trauma, so this is why we placed this at seventh. Other than that, it’s witty and creative which is why it deserves its spot at seventh.
8. If you were a vegetable, you’d be a cute-cumber.
Not everyone might not like being compared to a vegetable. Plus, cucumbers aren’t the prettiest….so we put this at eighth.
9. We’re not socks, but I think we’d make a great pair.
We placed this at ninth because it’s plain and not as creative as the other ones. Also, talking about socks might be a major turnoff, so we ranked this low. But, if you are looking for a low-key pick up line that’s not as outgoing, this is ideal.
10. Can you call the ambulance? I just sprained my ankle falling for you.
You may be confused how this line may work for those without a painful injury. That’s exactly why we placed this one in last–it seems to only work for those having to lug a heavy boot around the halls of NVOT (like Omar).
Now, you may have some trouble actually bringing these to life. Saying these the wrong way could be extremely dangerous and ruin your future love life. That’s exactly why we’ve filmed Omar trying these out. Check out The Lance’s Instagram to see Omar in action.
