Pickup Lines Review

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Harvard chapter.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Chocolate is sweet,

But not sweeter than you.

 

Valentine’s Day is here, and for single gals like me, it’s a time to celebrate Galentines, be bitter about being single (just kidding ;) ), eat chocolate, eat more chocolate, and wait until the next day for the 75% off Valentine’s day chocolate. Oh. And obviously to judge pickup lines.

 

The Oh my god, what? Pickup Lines

 

-You look like trash, may I take you out?

-Is your refrigerator running? Can I catch it for you?

-I think you’ve dropped something–your standards, so can I take you out?

-If you were a booger, I’d pick you first.

 

Maleficent says, “Don’t use them.”

 

The Eh, Meh, Cute and Creepy Pickup Lines

 

-Are you an overdue book, because you have fine written all over.

-Are you a library book, ‘cause I’ll check you out. (Or, for the good boys: Are you a library book, ‘cause I’ll take you out and return you on time before curfew. :) )

-I’ve lost my teddy bear, can I cuddle with you?

-Do you have a map, ‘cause I am lost in your eyes.

 

The Nerdy Ones! (My fave!)

 

-I wish you were sin^2 and I were cos^2 so we could be one.

-I wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves

-My love for you is concave up— it’s always increasing

-How could I know the digits of pi, how do I not know the 7 digits of your phone number?

-I don’t like my girlfriend, can I use a u-substitute?

-I used to think love() was abstract, until you implemented it in MyHeart

-Is your name Google? Because you have everything I’ve been searching for

-I’m not staring, I’m just stuck in a loop.

-You must be an exothermic reaction because you are hot!

-Dickens might have written Great Expectations but I can surpass them.

 

Which ones are your favorite?
