23 Surprising Pickup Lines That Actually Worked

"My current boyfriend and I met on Tinder, and his first message to me was, 'Hey quick question for you. What are your thoughts on pasta puns? Do you think they're saucy or do you think that they lack a bit of meat?' We ended up conversing only in pasta puns for about an hour. We've been dating for 6 months now, so there's your successful Tinder story!"

"My now fiancé and some of our friends were behind me in line at a bar when I was closing out my tab. I was obviously a little tipsy and accidentally wrote what I wanted to tip in the total line. He said, 'Do you have a sober ride home? I could drive you and make sure you get home safe if you would like.' We (always) had a DD, so I didn't need a ride, but I definitely gave him my phone number and the rest is history."
