Rizz Lines: 80 Lines to Say to a Girl, a Guy or Your Crush

Rizz lines are short, confident pickup lines (from "rizz", short for charisma) that make someone smile and give them an easy way to reply. The ones that work are playful rather than pushy, a little self-aware, and end on something the other person can answer. Below are 80 rizz lines sorted by who you are saying them to and where: rizz lines to say to a girl, to a guy, for your crush, smooth ones, funny and cheesy ones, and first texts for a chat or dating app. All are free to copy.

How to use rizz lines without the cringe

• Read the room. A cheesy line works at a party or on an app, not when someone has headphones in and is clearly busy.
• Grin. Most of these work because both of you know it's a bit silly. Delivery beats the words.
• Follow it with a real question. The line opens the door; the conversation keeps it open.
• Take no for an answer. A polite "haha, no thanks" is a full answer. Smile and move on.
• Skip anything explicit for a first message. Save the spicy ones for someone you already know is into it.
