What are the world’s cheesiest chat-up lines?

While many people accept chat-up lines are incredibly cheesy, they can be effective at capturing the attention of the person you are trying to get to know.

In fact, sometimes it can be good to make them as cheesy as possible, just to make extra-sure that the object of your affections does not think you're being too serious.

Metro has compiled a list of the most eye-catching chat-up lines suggested by reddit users, all of which are capable of bringing a smile to anyone's face.

'Are you my appendix? Because I don't understand how you work, but this feeling in my stomach makes me want to take you out,' was one suggestion, while another user put forward: 'A guy was dancing in a club holding a pillow. Girls would go up to him and ask, "What's with the pillow?" It's a chick magnet.'

It is often important to break the ice with a prospective date, so another cheesy line is: 'How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice.'

'Baby, if you were a fruit you'd be a fineapple,' and 'Do you have any raisins? No? Well how about a date?' are other cheesy chat-up lines to have made the cut.

'You're so beautiful you made me forget my pick-up line' and 'Can I follow you home? Because my parents always told me to follow my dreams,' also fared well.

However, the number one chat-up line given by any of the reddit users who responded to the survey was: 'Are you an angle from heaven? Because you're acute.'

Many of these lines and more could prove to be useful the next time you are using an online dating site in a bid to find a new partner.

In a situation in which you cannot speak face-to-face, having an interesting few words that grab attention and get a conversation off on the right foot can work a treat.
