Flirting with someone can be fun, but it's difficult to know how to get the conversation started. Sure, you can just ask for their name, but if you want something more memorable than that, having a few good pickup lines in your back pocket is sure to make you stand out, no matter how crowded the playing field is. You might think pickup lines are cheesy, and they often are — but that's part of the fun! Delivering a corny pickup line with the right amount of humor shows that you're not only funny, but also that you're confident. We've rounded up some of the best pickup lines you can test out next time you see someone cute when you're at the bar or grocery store.

These pickup lines work for real-life interactions, but they're also good conversation starters if you're using a dating app or website. Trying to get the ball rolling can be tricky, but a funny pickup line is sure to make them smile.

If you're not feeling like a pickup line is your move for flirting with someone online or offline, you can always brush up on some funny jokes to get the conversation started. Everyone likes someone who can make them laugh, right? But the most important thing is to be yourself, so you can always open the conversation in a more low-key way, like asking about what their weekend plans are or whether they like whatever they're drinking.

Here are some of the best pickup line ideas for you to use, from cheesy pickup lines to ones that are sweet.
