Guys use pickup lines to try to charm a gal (or guy) into thinking they’re cool and charismatic.
Some ladies are impressed with the effort, while others look at these guys with some serious side-eye. After all, some dating efforts are all-American…and not always winners.
Perhaps the men who want to make an impression ought to take their "schtick" overseas. They may just find that the females from far away are more interested in their one-liners than the gals from home. They may just get a date out of it, and even if things start off awkwardly, there’s always the chance the guy can salvage something out of it.
These 10 pickup lines are worth a shot for guys to test out the next time they travel. They can even use them online, to test them before busting them out in person. Isn’t there an app for that?
The one-liners may not land perfectly every time, but it only takes one special person to appreciate the humor.
If all else fails, the guy can pretend he was just joking around to get a genuine reaction.
Best of luck in the wild world of dating...internationally, at that.
10 “Let’s ‘Make America 'Date' Again"
American guys can take a cue from the big man in the White House and play on his motto to impress the gals on the other side of the globe. No matter their political affiliation, the motto is well-known worldwide. Using it to get a date may not be foolproof, but at least it leaves room for conversation.
9 “I Have A Green Card With Your Name On It”
Of course, not every foreigner is seeking a “free ride” to the U.S., but if she has a sense of humor that’s similar to the guy who’s delivering this line, it may be a love connection. And who knows, maybe one day that whole green card thing might not be so far-fetched. Like the couples we see on TV, it's not as crazy as it seems...sometimes.
8 “Foreign Never Looked So Fine”
Guys who have a thing for foreign women may use this pickup line and mean it quite literally. Perhaps they’ve grown tired of American women and want to see what it’s like to date someone from someplace far away. A compliment is always a good way to get the ball rolling. Otherwise, he can buy her a drink and call it a day.
7 “I Speak The Language Of Love”
Maybe a guy meets a gal who doesn’t speak his language. No worries. If there’s a spark, the romance will be the only mode of communication they need. Of course, in order for the woman to catch on to this pickup line, she’d have to speak English. So let’s hope she finds the humor in this guy’s go-to opening line.
6 “You Put The ‘Us’ In U.S.A.”
Guys who want to go for something corny may as well use an opening line that’s not exactly romantic, but it gives the lady an idea of the kind of guy he is…goofy! She may chuckle or roll her eyes at this one, but at least he made an effort to entertain her while he’s abroad.
5 “Your Culture Is My Cup Of Tea”
It’s nice to acknowledge a woman’s culture when a guy is on her home turf. He can try to use a typical pickup line to catch her attention, but if he’s more specific, it just might kick things off well. If she’s not into the pickup line, at least they can talk about her country...or tea.
4 “Every Minute With You Was Worth Every Frequent Flyer Mile”
Guys who have traveled long distances to find a date better wind up with a woman on their arm by the end of the trip. It would be quite a waste of time to fly thousands of miles to return home without even a phone number. If a guy sees a lady he likes, he can test out this pickup line and see if she’s on board.
3 “Domestic Dating Is So Last Decade”
The guys who want to let the ladies know that he’s on the market and would like to date a woman from another country can use this pickup line and see if it interests anyone. A woman may be interested in learning why a guy is done dating domestically and has his sights set on women from faraway places. She may wonder what’s wrong with the women he has dated in the past, although the problem is probably him.
2 “I May Live Far Away But My Heart Is Here With You”
A guy may meet a woman he knows he may not have much time to spend with. Perhaps he’s on vacation or a work-related trip and will only be in her country for a short while. He can make use of this pickup line to assure her that the romance doesn’t have to end when he heads home. Long-distance love affairs can work if the connection is solid.
1 “Your Accent Makes Americans Sound Like Amateurs”
Some guys fall for a foreign accent, and they aren’t shy about letting a woman know how sexy she sounds. He may have gotten used to the voices he hears every day, so something new is exciting. She may appreciate the attention, and the more they talk, the more he’ll want to hear.
