It can be nerve-wracking to flirt with an attractive stranger, so a lot of people turn to pickup lines to break the ice. A lot of one-liners aren’t exactly successful but in these cases a single pickup line opened the door to a new romantic connection.
Here are some of the best one-liners used by Reddit users that have actually worked. Of course, these stories are just for fun, as INSIDER can't independently authenticate them.
"Sorry, did you say something?"
"I used this on my current girlfriend of five years. I sat next to her in public transit with my sound-canceling headphones. A couple of minutes later, I took off my headphones and asked, ‘Sorry, did you say something?’ She said, ‘No' and I said, ‘Well, it's not too late to start a conversation.’"— Redditor goblin_welder
"... her eyes sparkle more than anything in the store."
"I told a girl working in a jewelry store that her eyes sparkle more than anything in the store. Yes, it worked, but I was also a lot younger and in better shape then." — Redditor Scooter059
"Hey, wanna phoque?"
"I had a stuffed animal seal purse. In French, seal is ‘phoque’ (yes, pronounced ‘f---’). I saw a cute human, threw my purse down on the table, and said ‘Hey, wanna phoque?’ We were together for two years."— Redditor MewTowne
