9 Pickup Lines Men Use That Make Our Ears Want To Bleed

Man sees woman. Man likes woman. Man uses a horrible pickup line? End of story. No great love story ever started with a terrible pickup line. So here's a tip - please leave the pickup lines you read on the Internet at home and try a real conversation instead? It's really all you need to make an impression.

1. 'Oh no, there is something wrong with my phone... It doesn't have your number in it.'

Here's a tip. Keep the drama to a minimum when you're hitting on a woman. A line like this doesn't get you any closer to getting a girl's number than if you asked her plainly.

2. 'I've had such an off week but seeing you totally turns me on.'

Hold your horses, alright? While this may even be true, it's definitely too much information for us. Keep it to yourself now and maybe, mayyyybe, one day it'll be appropriate to use.

3. 'Do you have a name? Or can I call you mine?'

Not the best way to start a conversation. Just ask her what her name is and introduce yourself, like a normal person?

4. 'You've got gorgeous legs. But they would look even better wrapped around me.'

If you thought this line is sexy - no, it is SO not. It's not funny either, in case you were going for that.

5. 'Excuse me, could you give me directions? To your house?'

Don't go there, it's way too stalker-ish to be of any help, okay? It would be way more useful to ask for a bar or restaurant recommendation.

6. 'I would show you my world but I'm sure you have a mirror.'

Messages like these are adorably cheesy if you're in a relationship. But only cheesy if you're not in one and have actually just met. Timing is everything, after all.

7. 'Do you have a band aid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you.'

This is just a mix between cute and lame. And definitely more lame than cute.

8. 'Your parents must be terrorist because you're a bomb.'

I wouldn't presume to speak for everyone, but most girls I know don't find terrorist jokes very funny, especially when they include their parents. If you want to impress a girl, this isn't the way.

9. 'You look a lot like my next girlfriend.'

Uh, no. There is a thing called over-confidence and you're the perfect example of it. Not a great look for the next boyfriend, you know?
