Try These Pickup Lines in 2010

A New Year and a whole new set of pickup lines. Which ones work? Which ones don't? "Can I buy you a drink" is probably the easiest and most direct, but how about getting a little more creative in 2010.

Pickup lines can either annoy a woman, or some lines are so bad that the woman actually thinks you're funny. According to a recent study, some pickup lines might actually work.

OnePoll.com conducted a survey in which they asked women various questions about pick-up lines, and about which ones worked (if any) and how likely she would be to talk to a guy that tried to use one.

According to the responses, 59% said they liked most men's one-liners and, surprisingly, 40% said they were still dating a man who had used a funny pick-up line, joke or quip when they first started talking.

Of course, this has as much to do with the joke itself as anything else. Lines like "do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?" scored high with women, while less clever ones like "I've lost that loving feeling, will you help me find it?" didn't rate very interesting.

"Women like a guy with a sense of humor and a cheesy pick-up line is a good way of displaying that," said a spokesman. "To fire off a good pick-up line the man will be confident, and women like confident men. Light-hearted and clever lines work very well. But there are also some awful ones."

Here are some other pick-up lines you should watch out for. The good, the bad and the ugly.

"I want to be your tear drop, so I could be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips."

"Sorry, but you owe me a drink. [Why?] Because when I looked at you, I dropped mine."

"If you were a steak you would be well done."

"I can't find my puppy, can you help me find him? I think he went into this cheap motel room."

"Do you clean your clothes with windex? [awkward pause] Because I see myself in your pants."
