Everything You Need for Flirting in English

If anything is worth doing at all, do it with love. Do it for or out of love. Who says love is a bad reason for learning a language, we give you an official permission to slap them. Well, may be that is a bit harsh. Ever wondered how in films slapping always works to create interest on the part of the person slapped?

Anyway, today we’ll share with you the best ways to flirt in English and not seem weird. Or pushy. Or a macho. Or just pathetic. Let’s roll!

«Okay, pep talk! You can do this, but to be more accurate, you probably can’t. You’re way out of practice and she’s way too hot for you. So, remember, it’s not about scoring. It’s about believing you can do it, even though you probably can’t. Go get ‘em, tiger!» Barney Stinson

You have just met that special someone. Perhaps it is a cashier at your local supermarket or your colleague’s friend or your handsome neighbor. All these trifles like jobs and positions don’t really matter in the eye of true love. But how to approach them, what to say to them? Let us first talk about the do’s.

If you do not know them well, it is best to try and get to know them better in a public space: try to meet them in a coffee shop, at a party, in the park. But beware of stalking, or the person will assume you are hitting on them and may even get scared!

Approaching

Excuse me, do I know you from somewhere? You look so familiar…

I’m a bit lost, do you know where ______ is?

Excuse me, where did you get your blouse? It’s really nice and I need a present for my _

No way! This is you! The film where you killed a giant spider was awesome! … It wasn’t you?

Asking for contacts

Are you on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram? Can I add you? It would be great to hang out sometime.

Can I get your digits/number?

Advancing

Has anyone told you that you look like Julia Roberts?

Has anyone told you that you have the most beautiful eyes? So big and bright. You must hear that a lot…

Are you seeing anyone lately?

How are you still single? (I would love to date you).

Would you like to go out sometime? – here comes the real test: do they want to go on a date with you?

These are all unisex and pretty harmless. In different circumstances you might want to use some pick-up lines – for example, at a nightclub. Some of them sound very cheesy and may give the impression opposite to the one you are striving to produce.

«Remember my three beginner’s tips for picking up chicks: Address her by name, isolate her from her friends, subtly put her down.» Barney Stinson

Pick-up lines for gents

A classic

Did it hurt? (did what hurt) When you fell from heaven?

Cheesy

I must be a snowflake, ’cause I’ve fallen for you!

Sorry can I use your phone? I need to call heaven and tell them an angel is missing.

Are your legs tired? (No why?) Because you’ve been running through my mind all night.

Do you have a map? ‘Cause I just got lost in your eyes.

Naughty/objectifying

Are you a library book? Because I’d like to check you out.

I‘ve had such an off week but seeing you just turns me on.

Your body is a wonderland and I want to be Alice.

Cute

Are you a magician? Because every time I look into your eyes, everyone else suddenly disappears.

Of all the beautiful curves on your body, your smile is my favorite one.

Hey, can you tell me what time it is? I just want to remember the exact moment I met the woman of my dreams.

Your face looks so familiar. Did we take a class together? I could have sworn we had chemistry.

Pick-up lines for ladies

Cheesy

Boy if you were a vegetable you’d be a cutecumber!

Hi, did your license get suspended for driving all these girls crazy?

Were you in Boy Scouts? Because you sure have tied my heart in a knot.

Hi, i’m writing a phone book, can I have your number?

Boy, are you the tiger from the Frosted Flakes box? Because you’re looking “Grrrrreat!”

Could you please step away from the bar ? You’re melting all the ice.

Naughty/objectifying

I’m wearing Revlon Colorstay Lipstick, want to help me test the claim that it won’t kiss off?.

Are you a parking ticket? Cause’ you got fine written all over you.

Your lips look lonely. Would they like to meet mine?

I’m not Rapunzel, but I’ll still let you pull my hair.

Cute

Are you going to kiss me or are you going to make me lie to my diary?

You know what you’d look really beautiful in? My arms.

Would you mind lending me a band aid? I have just bruised my knee falling for you.

Did I just feel an earthquake or was it you who just rocked my world?

Rejecting

Well, what if you are not interested? What if the person is hitting on you too much? Do not be intimidated to reject them – just do it politely!

– Should we get together sometime?

– I’m sorry, but I’m not interested.

– Actually, I am seeing somebody – means that you have a boyfriend and are not romantically interested.

Get lost/In your dreams – this is quite rude and will most likely offend the person.

When you know them better

So you have been on a couple of dates and you discover that you have a soft spot for this person or perhaps you have a crush on them. Well, may be you found your soulmate – don’t hold back, let your heart rule your head! Now is the best time to let them know how you feel about them.
