You have been looking for a way to win her heart with
the right words? Look elsewhere no more because
these 11 chat-up lines will do it all for you.

There’s nothing worse than the long, cold walk back
to your mates when a chat up line falls flat. Luckily,
help is at hand: scientists have worked out the best
chat-up lines to use, and in what situations they work
best. No, really… So check out the below and
diminish your odds of a long walk back to your seat
this weekend.
1. The best chat up line if you want a girlfriend: “I
like your jacket”
Looking for something long term? Cut the cheese. A
Journal of Social Psychology study found that women
were more likely to see a man as a long-term
potential if his opening gambit was a compliment
about her appearance that was non-sexual in nature.
The worst chat-up line was a cheesy pick up eg. “I lost
my number, can I have yours?” – the women rated
these guys as being less trustworthy and intelligent
than the average gent.
2. The best chat up line if you’re in a bar: “Do you
want to dance?”
Time to take some dance lessons. A study in the
journal S*x Roles found that almost 70% of women
considered this to be the best chat up line a stranger
could use if they were in a bar. The worst chat up
line? Anything that could be seen as negging (a slight
insult designed to throw the recipient of guard) such
as “nice jewellery – did you rob Woolworths?”.
3. The best chat up line if you’ve never met
before: “You look really familiar – do I know you?”
A New York State University study found that
innocuous chat up lines worked best on strangers. In
fact, they worked as well as if the man went up to her
and said, “I find you really attractive, what’s your
name?” – but was less embarrassing to pull off. The
worst line to use is “anything flippant”, according to
the study. Must. Not. Mention. The weather.
4. The best chat up line if you’re out after work: “I
don’t normally do this, but I just wanted to come
and say hi. Would you like another drink?”
A Monmouth University study found that busy
women who have to make decisions all day suffer
from “ego depletion” at the end. What this basically
means is that they are sick of making decisions. So,
using a direct line that ends with an offer will make it
really easy for her to say yes.
5. The best chat up line when you’re on public
transport: “Can I get the door for you / help you
with that bag?”
A study published in the journal Personality and
Individual Differences found that chat up lines that
displayed a helpfulness, generosity and a kind nature
work best when approaching a woman in public. The
worst lines to use involved jokes and sexual
references – unsurprisingly.
6. The best chat up line when you’re at a football
match: “You’re gorgeous!”
The same Personality and Individual Differences
study found that the exception to ‘enticing women in
public with helpfulness’ rule was with women who
were energetic, outgoing thrill-seekers; they
responded best to men who showered them with
overt generic flattery as an opening line. Not that this
means you should be a douche and expect a date…
7. The best chat up line to use when you’re
outside: “Do you want to play Frisbee?”
This obviously only works if you a) have a Frisbee or
b) are somewhere where playing with a Frisbee
would be appropriate. It’s not one to roll out when,
say, you’re crossing a busy road and spot someone
you like. According to the journal S*x Roles, this
opener is fun, innocent and not overtly threatening
or sexual. It’s also an offer that is easy to refuse, so
you’re not intruding on her day. In this (seemingly
Frisbee-obsessed) study, the worst line to use is “Hey
did you see me make that great throw” – according to
90% of the women quizzed. No one likes a show off.
8. The best chat up line if either of you are shy:
“Hey – have you met my mate Dave*?”
*You obviously being Dave, and using your own
name. A Communications Research Report study
found that a”third party introduction” was the most
“appropriate and effective” opening line when either
of you are bashful. Direct compliments, jokes or
flippant lines were basically considered terrifying.
9. The best chat up line if you want a one night
stand and are not afraid of getting a drink
thrown over you: “Why are you wearing that
weird outfit?”
A University of Kentucky study found that some
women who were more interested in one night
stands than a long-term relationship were more
attracted to men who ‘negged’ them. This may be
because it allows you to demonstrate social
dominance. This one really is a numbers game and
an ‘at your own risk’-type thing. We’ll be accepting no
responsibility if it backfires spectacularly.
10. The best chat up line to use at the
launderette: “Do you want to grab a coffee while
we wait for our washes to finish?”
That S*x Roles journal piece is a real goldmine: they
identified this little nugget as the best way to chat up
a woman at the launderette. Why? Because you’re
demonstrating your worth – you’re bored, she’s
bored and you’re offering to take her out of this
boring situation. And hey, it worked for Ross and
Rachel.
But if she says no, be prepared to go anyway to walk
off the awkward. The worst chat up line to use in this
situation, according to the bods: “Men shouldn’t have
to wash their own clothes anyway.” Which is kinda
not-so-sexy…
11. The best chat up line to use on someone you
work with: “Do you know any good exhibitions/
restaurants/museums to visit this weekend?”
A report published in the journal Personality and
Individual Differences found that women respond
more positively to chat up lines that suggest the
talker is cultured.
By asking this, you’re demonstrating that you’re a
person of taste and that you obviously think she is
too. The worst thing you could say to her: a sexual
compliment. Unless you are actively aiming for a HR
write up.
