Do things sound better in French, or is it just in my imagination? Will you have more success if you use pick up lines in French, rather than in English?
French might be the language of love , but some of these lines are just as cheesy as in any other language. So I’ve broken them down: a few good ones, a few dreadful ones, and one to take to heart!
Some people have the ability to quote love poetry , blather on, to flirt, etc. And some people simply don’t. Most of the time it is simply better to be natural instead of using a pick up line. Even if the pick up lines are in French, doesn’t mean that you are automatically going to have that je ne sais quoi.
But sometimes, if it is a complete stranger, you might need a bit of a ice-breaker, which is where a pick-up line might be handy. If you are at a dinner party or a wedding , with a charming foreign accent and a whimsical phrase or two, you may just meet your next French lover 😉
This is a compilation of the best french pick-up lines, as well as some that are truly dreadful. I have included mostly phrases in français to use to chat-up someone at a bar, but there are also short ones that can be aimed at people you already know.
Now, pick up lines have to personal and addressed to someone, so I’ve imagined them as being said by a man to a woman, and used the informal tu , instead of vous .
But since cheesy french pick-up lines are by no means restricted to straight men, feel free to adapt them as you wish!
In the quest for love, there’s no time to waste. It seems that every day we see more and more of these simple but effective French pick-up lines that can be used in a variety of situations to get you the date you want. Now, these lines could potentially work (or not):
When I say “could potentially work”, I mean with a giant grain of salt! Don’t blame me if they don’t work. It is all in the finesse, the charm, and the participants. These chat-up lines are not going to suddenly turn anyone Jean Dujardin !
Welcome to the world of bad pickup lines. You can’t deny that bad pick up lines are hilarious. We’ve all heard a few of them in our day, but it is not hard to find the best (worst) ones.
Everything is a matter of taste, but personally, I don’t see these lines working. Or maybe I should get out more? Chat-up lines that are bound to fail are:
If you have a sense of humor, you could probably try to pull this off with a wink and a smile. But if you’ve mastered the art of creating bad french pick up lines, you can be sure to find someone who will appreciate your wit. And if they don’t, well…
Beyond the chat-up lines, there are also some lovely and romantic French expressions and compliments that you can read here.
Now, if you are simply not in the mood to be picked up, here is one line to make you laugh:
Mesdames, un conseil. Si vous cherchez un homme beau, riche et intelligent… prenez-en trois !
To translate: Ladies, if you are looking for a man who is handsome, rich and intelligent, take all three!

Love Translations, English to French
As they say, French is the language of love, so knowing a few romantic lines in French can’t hurt, if you can pull it off.
English-speakers living in the United Kingdom or Ireland are a lot more likely to learn French, so you may already know a few terms–and be able to roll the tongue the right way. But if you’re an American looking for romantic lines in French, you’re a brave man.
Here are a few primers to help you learn some French phrases and sayings that not only sound right, but convey the romance emotions. Listen to someone speak French, so you can come somewhat close to getting the Francais right. You don’t have to be perfect to let her know you love her.
With these French romance lines, go out in the world and show your woman (or man) you mean business–that you care enough to study a little of the world’s most seductive language. Bring a little “beaux” into her life.
