A million years ago when you could smoke inside a guy approached me at a diner and asked

“Are you left handed?”

Me: “No, why?'

Him: “I noticed you smoke with your left hand. And you have a spectacular a*s.” Caught me so off guard and I was amused - Evening_Run_1595

A woman once told me 'every time I drink tequila I wind up sleeping with someone' and then proceeded to take a shot of tequila while holding eye contact with me. - Thefuturehasbears

Once was at a festival where an org were giving out free condoms at a booth. One of the ladies are talking to a guy and a girl saying 'the condoms are free by the way, take as many as you want...

oh but we don't have unlimited stock so please don't take more than you need.' The girl picks up a condom, turns to the guy, and says 'wanna share?' - getyourshittogether7

On Halloween a buddy of mine was dressed as a Viking. He asked a girl if she wanted to hear his Viking pickup line. She said yeah. So he literally picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and said he was taking her back to the boat. They dated for almost a year. - NairMyNutsack

At a college Halloween party, I was dressed up as Kazooie (although everyone assumed I was an angry bird) and I walked up to a woman dressed up as a golfer and told her that she could score a birdie tonight. - thepasz

I was late for my ride to Comic Con Dragon Con so I was running down the side of the road in a rough area of downtown Atlanta while wearing a giant hoop skirt 17th century gown.

A rather tipsy seeming gentleman did a full double take and said loudly “that’s the best god-dam thing I’ve seen since 1978!!!” I’m so curious what happened in 1978 - orange_blossoms

Best one that worked for me was 'Is my tie straight?' In every case, the woman I was talking to would look it over, make a microscopic adjustment, pat it down to ensure it was laying flat, and say something 'There. Perfect.'

So she has already gotten up close, broken the touch barrier, taken some ownership of my appearance, and has said that the result looks good.

Then I say 'I'm meeting someone today.' Curiosity engaged, she asks 'Who?' I say 'Hopefully, you.' That always got a smile. Didn't always work, but worked better than anything else I ever tried. - TotallyNotHank

Do you sleep on your stomach? If not, do you mind if I do? - Billy-tee

It’s not a pickup line as such, but this guy once said to me in passing, “GIIIIRRRLL, I wanna feed you STEAK and GRAPES!” and I have never forgotten - PicardiB

When I was a student at University, I saw a pretty girl eating a particular brand of yogurt at the crowded dining hall before morning classes. I had the same brand of yogurt on my tray.

I asked if I could sit at her table and she nodded. I looked across the table at her and pointed at her yogurt and said with a big shmucky smile 'Yoplait or mine?' It was said with humor and not as a pickup line. I ended up marrying that pretty girl. Amazing, given the horrible first line. - cblatnik

Went to a restaurant where a girl I knew from high school ended up being our waitress.

Me: What time do you get off?

Her: Around 5 or so

Me: Want to get off again after that?

To my amazement it actually worked. - TheUlfheddin

It was the first snowfall of the season. The person and I were walking around campus together - we were friends who were heading out to grab a snack in between classes.

We were quietly walking when the person suddenly said to me: 'The snow looks beautiful today.' In my native language, my name means snow/frost/ice. Turned out they were hitting on me and I didn't realize until later. - Confident_Cell_1350

13.

I was at my friend's house and his 5 year old brother grabbed one of our friends by the hand and asked if he could play her a song on his guitar. She said yes, he picked up his guitar but stopped just before strumming it, thought for about 30 seconds and said 'I don't know any songs for princesses.' That little kid had way more game that 19 year old me had. - physics515

A regular at a bar I worked at dropped this gem on a girl

“I’d buy you a drink but I’d be jealous of the glass”

I groaned so loud she laughed at me and walked away from him. - DetectiveDesperate70

This girl I used to work with and I went to a bar after work and we’re having fun, and she leans over to tell me a joke. And she says:

3 boy mice and a girl mouse were all stuck in a room with no doors and no windows. One of the boy mice asked the girl mouse how to get out and she said “Sleep with me tonight, and I’ll tell you in the morning.'

Next day he is gone. The 2nd boy mouse asks the girl mouse how he got out and she says, “Sleep with me tonight, and I’ll tell you in the morning.' Next day, he’s gone too.

So now the girl telling me this joke says to me. “Do you want to know how the last mouse gets out of the box?” And I say “yes”. And she says, “Sleep with ME tonight, and I’ll tell you in the morning”. All this while staring me in the eyes and smiling.

I said, “Check please bartender!!” I forgot to ask her in the morning, but that was the best pickup line I’ve ever heard. - reb678

We were just joking around over text about some of our classes and she goes, “personally my favorite is anatomy. I’d let you help me study later if you want.” I replied, “I’d offer to help you with chemistry but I think we’ve already got that one figured out.” I think we stunned each other into silence. - Alpha0963

When I was teaching kindergarten, one of my students (who knew I love video games) dropped this one on me: “You’re pretty. You should come to my house after school and we can play Little Big Planet. My mom makes great snacks.” His mom and I had a good laugh about it at pick-up time.- donkeyuptheminaret
