CONFESSION: I’m struggling in the dating department.
For some reason I haven’t even come close to meeting THE ONE yet and time is running out, I’m almost 30 years old for god’s sake.
So in a desperate attempt to develop my technique I’ve turned to the world of films to help a brother out and I thought I’d share my research with you in case you too are struggling.
So here we have it, the best pick-up lines that have even been uttered in movies (and which you can probably hear me using in a bar near you at some stage soon):
- “I couldn’t help but notice that you look a lot like my next girlfriend.” Will Smith in Hitch. It’s a bit corny but hey, it’s worth a shot.

- “Your husband told me you were the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen, but he didn’t say anything about the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen.” George Clooney in Intolerable Cruelty. It’s a great line, but George have some respect, she’s a married woman.
- “Your eyes are amazing, do you know that? You should never shut them, not even at night.” Olivier Martinez in Unfaithful. Let’s just hope the other person doesn’t take this too literally.
- “You know, it’s dangerous for you to be here in the frozen foods section, because you could melt all this stuff.” Steve Martin in My Blue Heaven. It’s witty, but will they fall for it or will they give me the cold shoulder? (See what I did there? Cold shoulder ... freezer ... How am I still single?)
Much like Julia Roberts, I’m a sure thing. Source: Supplied
- “I would give anything if you were two people, so I could call up the one who is my friend and tell her about the one I like so much.” Albert Brooks in Broadcast News. I like it, but wouldn’t it make the friend a little jealous?
- “I appreciate this whole seduction thing you’ve got going on here, but let me give you a tip: I’m a sure thing.” Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. I’m ashamed to say I’ve actually said this before.
- “How would you like to have a sexual encounter so intense it could conceivably change your political views?” John Cusack in The Sure Thing. It’s direct, it’s amusing, but could I live up to my own hype?
“You complete me” is probably not an appropriate opening line. Source: News Corp Australia
- “You’re good looking, you got a beautiful body, beautiful legs, beautiful face ... Only you’ve got a look in your eye like you haven’t been fu**ed in a year.” Al Pacino in Scarface. It’s risky. It’ll either work or I’ll get slapped.
Will these lines turn my love life around or will the drought continue until the day I’m found dead in my apartment surrounded by 27 cats? Only time will tell.
