The problem with pickup lines is that they’re too broad and generic. Everyone knows a polar bear weighs enough to break the ice at this point, so you have to find a way to stand out. Well, you’re in luck! If you’re trying to start a conversation with that goth or emo girl at the end of the bar, here are 16 lines that are guaranteed to work. They start with your typical eye-roll worthy intros that we’ve all heard a million times and then take a dramatic turn. Good luck!
1. “Did it hurt when you fell?” “From where?” “From the homepage on DeviantArt.”
2. “You know what would look great on you? This My Chemical Romance hoodie.”
3.“Do you have a mirror in your pocket? I just want to make sure my eyeliner is on thick enough.”
4. “How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to put me out of this endless torment if it fell on top of me.”
5. “If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would probably just leave it how it is because none of this matters and life is meaningless.”
6. “I lost my phone number. Can I have yours or can you just use your phone to see what time ‘The Craft’ comes on TBS tonight?”
7. “That’s a nice dress. It’ll look even better when it’s slowly decaying beneath the earth since each moment brings everything one step closer to death.”
8. “Is it hot in here or is my phone just overheating from all the alerts of comments on my LiveJournal?”
9. “Your legs must be tired because you’ve been running through Warped Tour all day.”
10. “If I said you had a beautiful body, would you consider getting a lip ring and gauges in your ears so I can actually find you attractive?”
11. “Was your father a thief? Because it would be great if he could go into Hot Topic and steal a bunch of clothes for me.”
12. “Do you come here often and sit hopelessly under the dim lights of the bar, waiting impatiently for the reaper to come harvest your soul?”
13. “Do you believe in love at first sight or should I show you this Underoath fan art I made again?”
14. “Let’s get out of here together. No, I don’t want to go back to my place. There’s just so many fake poser scene kids around here I can’t stand it.”
