The Pick-Up Line Culture

I am personally a big fan of pick-up lines and I think they’re under-rated. Many times I hear guys say they want to approach a girl, but don’t have the courage to do so because they don’t know what to say. People say pick-up lines are cheesy. At times, yes they are. But they also serve as a superior mechanism for breaking the ice and getting a girl to laugh. In my opinion, they are the ultimate way to win a girl over (if done right). Why should you have to stress out about trying to make a good first impression, or making a good introduction, when you can just use one killer line? And this doesn’t just apply to men. Women can use the lines too and it'll make you stand out even more if you’re brave enough to do so. And hey, even if you get rejected, they’ll probably get a good laugh out of it! The greatness of it is the fact that most people know you don't mean the line literally and you're not just creepy... but have a good sense of humor!

Pick-up lines are commonly used in dating apps. Dating apps give you the ability to talk with so many different people at one time and it can definitely become boring, so sometimes you may like to spice it up a little. Pick-up lines are the perfect way to get rid of the boring -- usual “hey whatsup” or my favorite, just “hi.” But why is it not commonly used face-to-face? It is easy to hide behind a screen and be forward, but taking that brave step to use pick-up lines will help change the dating culture and scary stigma behind approaching someone you are attracted to. Whether it be at a bar, in class, or at the supermarket – I challenge you all to use a pick-up line next time you see someone you might be interested in. Here are a list of my favorites:

Do you have a map? Because I’m lost in your eyes.

Excuse me, are you related to my keyboard? Cause you’re just my type.

Are you from Tennessee? Because you’re the only ten I see.

Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven.

Are you tired? Cause you've been running through my mind all day.

Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears!

If you were a vegetable you’d be a cute-cumber.

Do you have a Band-Aid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you.

Are you religious? Because you're the answer to all my prayers.

Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you I smile

I'm not a photographer, but I can picture me and you together.

Can I take your picture to prove to all my friends that angels do exist?

Are you a banana? Because I find you a-peeling.

Do you work at Starbucks? Because I like you a latte.

Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. Oh wait, it's just a sparkle.

AND the ultimate best….

I seem to have lost my number. Can I have yours?

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
