Pick-up lines by category

Every line below comes from the opener library inside DateViser, the AI dating assistant for iPhone and Android. The library has thousands of lines in five boldness levels; these pages show the sweet, charming and flirty ones, thirty per category. The bolder two levels, and the button that writes a new line for the profile in front of you, live in the app.

• Compliment pick-up lines that don't sound like everyone else's

  A compliment opener works when it is about something they chose (a photo, a hobby, a taste) rather than their face. These are the softer lines in the library: warm, a little playful, easy to answer.

• Funny pick-up lines that get a reply, not a groan

  The joke lines in the library: puns, fake errors, small absurdities. A funny opener sets the tone for the whole chat, so pick one that matches your own sense of humour rather than the cleverest one.

• Question pick-up lines: openers they can actually answer

  A question is the easiest opener to reply to, which is why the library has a whole category of them. Either-or questions and small, specific ones work best; avoid anything that sounds like an interview.

• Invitation pick-up lines for suggesting a date without the awkward part

  Lines that skip straight to a plan: coffee, a walk, a bite. They work best a few messages in, once there is something to build on, but a few are light enough to open with.

• Quote-style pick-up lines with a bit of wit

  Openers built around a saying, a twist on a famous line, or a small piece of wisdom. Good for profiles that mention books, films or music.

• Poetic pick-up lines and short verses

  Two-line rhymes and small poems from the library. Cheesy on purpose; they work when sent with a wink, not as a serious declaration.

• Science pick-up lines: chemistry, physics and space openers

  Gravity, chemistry, black holes, the periodic table. The nerdy corner of the library, for profiles that mention a lab, a degree or a documentary habit.

• Animal pick-up lines for profiles with a dog, a cat or a zoo

  If there is a pet in the first photo, the opener writes itself. These lines are for exactly that: dogs, cats, birds and the occasional metaphor.

• Sports pick-up lines for gym, football and running profiles

  Openers for the people whose photos are all trails, gyms and stadiums. Competitive, a little cheeky, and easy to turn into a plan.

• Food pick-up lines about coffee, dinner and everything in between

  Food is the most reliable topic on a dating app because everyone has an opinion. These lines are about coffee, cooking, restaurants and the argument about pineapple.

• Music pick-up lines for profiles with a playlist in the bio

  For the profile with a Spotify anthem or a concert photo. Lines about songs, gigs and the one album they would defend to the end.
