Did you know penguins mate for life? I want to be your penguin. Did you find the romantic pick-up lines that you’ll try out? The most charming pick-up lines are those that make the recipient feel better about themselves as whole people. No one likes being creeped on by strangers. Too many pick-up lines focus on body parts — lips, eyes, butt, etc. Too many others make the recipient out to be an angel, which only proves how little the speaker knows the person they’re hitting on. No one is a perfect angel. And we know it. Pretending otherwise is an insult to your crush’s intelligence. So, while some of the pick-up lines in this list are corny, the goal here was to avoid those that are gross or stalkery. I hope you find something just right for a person with class.
