What are the worst opening chat-up lines you have heard - online and in person...

In person and whilst sitting on an aeroplane:

We were sitting next to each other (purely by chance) and been having polite conversation for about 2 hours....

"I'm going to have to get your contact details or I might have to hijack the plane...." 😵‍💫

Are you a model?

Fuck off. I mean I'm alright but clearly not a model.

The old classic -

'love the dress, it'd look good on my bedroom floor ...'

smallsilvercloud · 10/06/2026 21:20

cliched ones like do you come here often? but worst ones are blatant lies about what they do/who they are.
ive had, ‘I’ve been in the worlds strongest man competition’ yeah right!
I’m on a stag do ( later find out, he was the stag)! Oops
I’m a hairdresser, pretending so they can touch my hair yuk

At a gig years ago, from a guy in a frilly shirt 'Do you like my cuffs?'

Appreciated the originality, but no.

"There's a party in my pants and you're invited". Uni freshers week, late 80s

My brother staggered out of a pub,pissed as a fart,spotted a lass sat outside on a bench and slurred 'i may not be Fred Flintstone love,but i'll make your bedrock'

She married him and they share a (now teenage) child

A random DM:

'Hey there, hope you don't mind the DM, I'm sensing you're a Capricorn right?'

(🙄 Nope. Only 11 more for him to try though).

Probably this.

You see that star up there, it's winking at you.

🤢

I remember looking at him and going that was ridiculously cheesy.

Tbf, I was like 15/16 and he was 17. A boyfriend at the time but not for long. 🤣

Some random bloke in a club looked me up and down, and said I was looking good because he liked 'big girls.'

I was 21 at the time, and must've been size 10 at push.

This happened to me in a pub ....guy says "I've got a pussy phobia do you want to help me cure it?!!" My reply " I've got 3 cats at home knock yourself out!!!" 🤣🤣🤣Suffice to say nothing happened lol

BraveStarr · 13/06/2026 09:54

When approaching the DJ box to at a local club, to request a song: “Come into my box..or shall I come into yours?”

Needless to say, I told him to forget about the song!!

“Do you live in a castle, because you look
like a princess” late 1990’s 😂🙄

DreamyLimeWasp · 13/06/2026 18:27

"Are you on your period.. because you're blood gorgeous".

Was I impressed.. Nope

Did I end up back at his.. Yes because I am a weak weak woman

I don’t have one to share, but I absolutely love the front of these blokes. Not a coward amongst them. They’re hilarious and cringe at the same time.

I suspect lads now don’t have the guts.
