Flirty pick-up lines that are appropriate and respectful

Here are some flirty pick-up lines that are appropriate and respectful to use:

• “Your hand looks heavy, can I hold it for you?”
• “Do you have a map? I just got lost in your eyes.”
• “I always thought happiness started with an ‘H’ but it looks like it starts with ‘U.’”
• “I think we’ve met before. Actually, never mind—I think it was just in my dreams.”
• “I have a phone number, you have a phone number—think of the possibilities.”
• “Would you rather kiss me, hold my hand, or take me on a date?”
• “I never believed in love at first sight, then I saw you.”
• “If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put U and I together.”
• “Your smile is brighter than anyone else’s here.”
• “I’m not an electrician, but I can light up your day.”

These lines strike a balance between flirtiness and respectfulness, making them great icebreakers that are likely to be well received without being too forward or inappropriate. ^{1, 2, 3}
