36 Vintage Fine Art Memes That Perfectly Capture the Pain of Poorly Phrased Pickup Lines

If there's one thing any serial dater knows - it's the pain of poorly phrased pickup lines. It's like, cmon, this was your one and only chance and this is all you've got? Either it's something awkward, inappropriate, or straight-out dumb - there's nothing we hate more than a dude who puts 0 effort into the first phrase.

Don't get us wrong, it doesn't have to be anything crazy, a simple 'hey' will do just fine. But oftentimes, people like to take things to the next level, and by next level we obviously mean CRINGE!

Are you a magician? Because when I look at you, everyone else disappears.

Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only one I see.
