A pick-up line (or chat-up line) is a conversation opener with the intent of engaging an unfamiliar person for humor, 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 are often used as "ice-breakers" when meeting a person for the first time, as they tend to be casual and open-ended, offering the opportunity for romantic banter or some witty repartee.
Pick-up lines can be straightforward conversation openers such as "hi", or more elaborate attempts at 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."
