9 of the Best Pickup Lines for Valentine’s Day

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

Does anyone else aspire to experience that authentic waiting-in-line-when-a-stranger-uses-a-cheesy-pickup-line moment? Yes, I am talking about virtually any rom-com ever. Well, here’s your chance. I’ve compiled some of the best pickup lines that you can use on someone this Valentine’s Day. You’re welcome.

 

1. “One night with me, and they’ll be calling you Moaning Myrtle.” – Harry Potter

Sorry… I hear a mysterious ticking noise, gotta go! 

 

2. “With me, you’ll never have to sleep in the dark.” – Iron Man

If Jesus were to marry someone, I’d assume He’d say something along the lines of this. Mhm, such wisdom. 

 

3. “You must be low-density lipoprotein cholesterol because you stopped my heart.” 

If you’re a nerd, I’m a nerd.

 

4. “How you doin’?” – Friends 

This is such a classic that I would lowkey giggle and blush if a handsome man used this one-liner.

 

5. “Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk in again?” – Modern Family

Walk in again, please. *insert heart eyes*

 

6. “Girl, you’re thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.”

What can I say? I got it from my momma. 

 

7. Why did the ketchup blush? She saw the salad dressing. – Taylor Swift

Maybe I can mustard up a pity laugh from this cringey quote. Haha.

 

8. “Why are seagulls called seagulls?” “If they flew over the bay, then they’d be bagels.”

Maybe we could be bae-goals? 

 

9. “So, where are you from? Earth? I love women from Earth.” 

Hey…the effort was there.

 

What are you waiting for? Make that rom-com moment happen!
