Are pick up lines needed to get a date?

Answer 1

No. In fact you probably have better chances if you don't use trashy pickup lines. A simple "hi" has been proven most effective at establishing first contact.

Answer 2

Pick up lines are not essential for getting a date. Building a genuine connection, being respectful, and showing interest in the other person are more important aspects of successfully getting a date. Communication and genuine interest in the other person go a long way in establishing a meaningful connection that can lead to a date.
