Funny Tinder Lines That Work Like a Charm
Pick-up lines. "Rock-my-world-baby" lines. "Please-oh-please-look-my-way" lines. Flirty talk. Dirty talk. Tinder jokes.
Whatever you call them, chat-up lines in English, and all other languages, are often used by men – and sometimes women – to catch a potential love interest's attention.
They're kind of like ice breakers – things people used to shout across streets and whisper into ears (you know, when socialising outside households was actively encouraged!), and now typically swap on online dating apps like Tinder.
Though we can all agree they're not the most romantic or charming things in the world. Funny to some, maybe, but as mind-blowing as saying I love you? Not so much.
So while we wouldn't recommend walking up to someone you like and delivering a cheesy chat-up line as a conversation starter, they can be an entertaining read on paper.
So, as a Valentine's Day special in 2022, we've asked a handful of our Busuu community to recall their silliest and best chat-up line war stories.*
* Small disclaimer alert: we've excluded all dirty, lewd chat-up lines. Laugh at the cheesy stuff, we can do, but forgive the unforgivable, we can't!
Laugh, cry and ridicule away at the worst and most cringe-worthy pick-up lines in English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian and Spanish. We hope you enjoy them.
