Relationships, also known as dating someone who care for more than most anyone else. Whether it’s a guy or a girl, introducing is hard, but actually asking someone out is much harder. Fortunately the world has some called pickup lines. Pickup lines are commonly known as jokingly good ways to ask out a guy or girl. However is a pickup line really all that funny? Maybe it’s just someone trying their hardest to move up a level in their relationship, but don’t really know what to say, on another aspect it might be considered rude or diminishing.
Students of Lynnwood High School were asked whether pickup lines would actually work on them, given a scale of 1 to 5, one being the lowest likely to work, and five being the highest likely to work. In the polls it was found out that out of one hundred fifteen students, the majority of students at 30% said that pickup lines would work at a solid three, or ¨sometimes¨. The lowest amount of students or 4% said that pickup lines working is a two, or ¨usually not¨.
After polls were taken, some students around Lynnwood high school were asked about the results of the poll, when one student was asked if they were surprised that the majority of poll results went towards pickup lines working more than not working, “Yes it is surprising, because if you don’t know the person using the pick up line it’s kind of weird and it’s mostly used as a joke.” Said Amanda Stanley, Freshman at Lynnwood high. Stanley was asked what she would vote for in the poll and she said 3, or sometimes, mostly because if it’s the correct time or place she thinks they would work, but only under those circumstances.
Another student was asked at Lynnwood High school about if they were surprised about pickup lines being more common to work than not, “Yes, I think that’s really weird, because I think I wouldn’t fall for that kind of stuff.” Then Carr was asked what his favorite pickup line was, “Are you from Tennessee, because you’re the only ten I see.”
For fun, a few pickup lines were pulled out of jokes4us.com, on this website they’re pickup lines under multiple categories, cute, cheesy, and even flirty. “Roses are red, violets are Yellow, wanna go out with a nice little fellow?”, another good pickup line is ‘Do you know Karate, because your body is kicking”. A personal favorite is “Can I take a picture of you, so I can show Santa exactly what I want for Christmas” for all the people into the holiday spirit.
