Actually, These Zodiac Pick Up Lines Work

Know your crush’s zodiac sign, but aren’t sure how to approach them? With the right combination of words, you could have any zodiac sign wrapped around your finger. Here’s what each sign wants to hear.

Of course, attraction and love are based on more than a person’s sun sign. If you’re looking for a long-lasting relationship, you might want to use the pickup line associated with your crush’s Venus sign. If you are more interested in a fling, choose the line tailored to their Mars or Scorpio sign. But that would require knowing their birth chart – so it’s best to use their sun sign as the guide to sparking your romantic connection.

Aries

“What does it feel like to be the most gorgeous woman/man in the room?”

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries wants to feel special, like they’re the only person in the world. Let them know they have your full attention, and then you will have theirs. Aries are also naturally competitive. They are active and playful, and they can never resist a dare. Challenging pick-up lines like, “I bet you can’t dance to this song,” or, “Wanna race/play darts/kick some butt at beer pong?” also work like a charm.

Taurus

“Let’s taco ‘bout how amazing you are over tacos and margaritas next week.”

Taurus is the foodie of the zodiac. The way to their heart is through their stomach, and they appreciate a nurturing partner. Offering them a free meal and a compliment is sure to have them eating out of the palm of your hand.

Gemini

“If you were words on a page, you’d be the fine print.”

Geminis are highly intelligent and humorous, so they appreciate a witty pickup line. If you can make them laugh or use their brain, you will win their heart.

Cancer

“Do you know what my shirt is made of? Boyfriend/girlfriend material.”

Cancers will accept nothing less than all-consuming love, and they look for partners who make them feel secure. Using a pickup line that promises a long-term commitment is the key to a Cancer’s heart. Another good one for Cancers is, “When I text you goodnight later, what phone number should I use?”

Leo

“Nice hair; wanna mess it up?”

Leos are confident and know they look good, but they still love to hear it. Make sure your pickup line includes a compliment and let them know how stunning you think they are. A Leo would also like to hear, “I’d take you to the movies, but they don’t let you bring in your snacks,” or, “You know, I had a pickup line ready to go, but you’re so hot it just left my mind.”

Virgo

“It’s a good thing I have my library card because I am checking you out.”

Virgos are smart and practical, so they need a pickup line that honors their intelligence. Referencing books or reading is sure to put you in Virgo’s good graces.

Libra

“I bet your birthday is October 10, because you’re a 10/10.”

Not only does the date fit perfectly with when Libras are born (between September 23 and October 22), but this pick up line also compliments Libra’s looks. As the zodiac sign guided by Venus, the planet of beauty, Libras put a lot of effort into their appearance, and that deserves recognition.

Scorpio

*Intense stare*

That’s right, no pickup line is needed for a Scorpio. This zodiac sign is highly intuitive and loves eye contact, so they will feel you looking at them from across the room. They don’t need everyone to notice them, but they do want unwavering attention from their admirers.

Sagittarius

“Wanna hop on a plane to Paris tomorrow?”

Sagittarius is the most adventurous zodiac sign. They love to travel and be spontaneous, so offering to take them places they’ve never been before will melt their hearts.

Capricorn

“I need a real estate agent – do you know any? I’m trying to make a move here.”

Capricorns are tough nuts to crack. They work extremely hard, and it can be difficult to get them to loosen up. Use a pickup line that starts serious but then makes them laugh. You’ll grab their attention with the real estate bit, then have them chuckling in surprise. Another good one for Capricorns is, “Are you a bank loan? Because you’ve got my interest.”

Aquarius

“Do you believe in aliens?”

If you’re trying to flirt with an Aquarius, skip the small talk or the usual corny lines. Go straight for bizarre, quirky, even invasive questions. Whether it’s conspiracy theories or what they think about organized religion, no topic is too taboo for an Aquarius.

Pisces

“What’s your sign?”

Yes, this classic pick up line for astrology lovers works best on dreamy and romantic Pisces. As the most spiritual sign, Pisces people are drawn to tarot cards, healing crystals, and all things metaphysical. Another good line for the sign of the fish? “Your eyes are like the ocean; I could swim in them all day.”
