Here are the best (and worst) Tinder pick up lines inspired by popular names, including Alexa, Annie, and Taylor.
You matched with your "soul mate" on Tinder — and now the pressure is on to make a good first impression. One that will stand out from the hundreds sitting unread in her inbox. So, in an attempt to avoid an awkward "hi" (if you don't have time to write an entire sonnet with a hidden secret message), a solid pick-up line is your best bet.
However, that pick-up line wouldn't be complete if it didn't include your match's name. Just ask these Tinder Lotharios whose love of puns has them transforming the most popular monikers into sweet message of love. Swipe right on an Emma? We got you covered. What about a Liv? The possibilities are endless.
Here is a roundup of the best opening lines that are guaranteed to work... most of the time. And some you should never repeat.
