The pub is a classic place to meet people and have fun. Why, there may even be some people of the opposite sex. But how do you approach such people. You need a chat-up line, of course!

There are some chat-up lines that are simply classics. There are also some that actually work. And then there are those that are specially suited to scientists (though these are probably neither classic nor effective). Below are a selection of such lines, though if you know of any others, please submit them to us!

General Chat-up Lines

  • "If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"
  • "How do you like your eggs in the morning - boiled, scrambled or fertilised?"
  • "That dress would look great on my bedroom floor."
  • (On rejection...) "Don't be so choosy. God knows, I wasn't"
  • "I've lost my phone number. Can I have yours?"
Chat-up Lines for the Desperate
  • "I'm not above begging."
  • "How much do you cost?"
For the ambitious...

You: "If I said I'd pay you a million pounds, would you sleep with me?"
Her: "Well, yes, I think I would."
You: "What if I said I'd pay you five pounds to sleep with me?"
Her: "What do you think I am, a prostitute?"
You: "We've already established that, now we're just negotiating."

Science Chat-up Lines

For Biologists...
  • "Would you like me to help you with your reproduction practicals?"
  • "Would you like to study organisms with me?"
  • (For microbiologists) "Oo, you look dishy", or "You have no culture" if they're not impressed

For Astronauts...
  • "Let's initiate a docking manoeuvre."
  • "My pants are approaching escape velocity!"
  • "Would you help me de-ice my nosecone?"
  • "Wanna join the thousand-mile-high club?"
  • "Care to experience some thrust?"
  • "Prepare for re-entry!"

For Mathematicians...
  • "Hello strange attractor!"
  • "You know what they say about a man's calculator..."
  • "Hey baby, what's your sine?"

For Astrophysicists...
  • "Excuse me but I feel strangely gravitated towards you."

  • "Come on baby, light my bunsen burner!"

For Computer Scientists...
