A pick-up line is a conversation opener
with the intent of engaging an unfamiliar person for romance, or dating. Overt and sometimes humorous displays of romantic interest, pick-up lines advertise the wit of their speakers to their target listeners.
Pick-up lines range from straightforward conversation openers such as introducing oneself, providing information about oneself, or asking someone what their likes are to elaborate attempts including humor such as "If you were Spock
's phaser, you would be set to stun" or "If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put 'U' and 'I' together". Also, they can be to flirt, such as "Do you have a map, because I keep getting lost in your eyes." There is a question whether pick-up lines work efficiently.
