The survey, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of the dating app HUD, interviewed 2,000 Americans and 55 percent said that they think one-liners should be forbidden. “A pick-up line is nothing more than a flirtatious icebreaker designed to make the listener smile or laugh and take notice of you,” says dating expert and author Kevin Darné. “What makes most pick-up lines cringey is they are often unimaginative, overused, and have a horrible delivery.” Relationship expert Beth Ribarsky, PhD, agrees that the best move is to steer clear of creepy pick-up lines and opt for a more original approach next time you’re trying to start a conversation with someone you’re interested in. According to Ribarsky, the only way cheesy one-liners work is “if they are delivered in a way that makes it very clear that you are making a joke.” But some one-liners should never be used, according to the new OnePoll and HUD survey.
