I say right in the title not to try these at home. That’s not because they’re risky. These pick-up lines are copulatory gold. It’s just that the people at home are your family. You shouldn’t use pick-up lines on your family. Use them in bars.
I’ve never been a pick up artist. I’m too sentimental for one-night stands. Of course, I’m happily married now (he hastened to add), but even when I was single, I wasn’t much for hooking up. I would have been too shy to try a ‘pick-up line’ at any rate.
So what gives me the authority to catalogue them here? I’m been collecting the best pick-up lines for years. No, I am not planning ahead for the inevitable failure of my marriage (he hastened to add – my wife reads this blog.)
I have a long-term working relationship with a translator who loves bad pick-up lines. So at the various websites I’ve worked for over the years, whenever I reach out to her for some emergency translation work, I always quote her the rate that it pays and throw in at least one (depends on the word-count and complexity) new bad pick-up line as a bonus.
Now, I feel bad hoarding this treasure trove of fabulous flirtations, wasted on me (happily married as I am.) So for all you singles out there this weekend, here is the mother load (so to speak) of pick-up lines, the good, the bad, and the obscene.
Let’s start off local.

You’re welcome.
