The Message Behind The Pick Up Line
Ruby’s January 29 — February 4 Writing Prompts: Pick Up Lines
Why use a pick up line?
Well, it’s like an elevator pitch to boost your career. You have 30 seconds to make an impression on someone you want to get to know better. Will a simple “hi” be enough? Depends on how you say it.
Are they still used?
These days, meeting someone in person is as outdated as your Grandmother’s China. Just doesn’t happen. More and more dating apps have hit the virtual universe. This competes with the in person meeting.
You see people advertising themselves on those profiles. Hoping to get a swipe, hoping they are talking to a real person and not a bot, or being catfished. I would advice not to use a pickup line as a tagline in your profile.
But I do feel the pick up line in person does need to convey all that intended person needs to know about you so they don’t turn to their phone- the dating apps.
