How to use Thanksgiving pick up lines

  • Read the table. Family dinners call for cute and clean lines; save the cheekier ones for Friendsgiving or a text.
  • Make it about the moment. A line about the actual pie on the actual table beats a generic one.
  • Own the cheese. Say it with a smile, as if you know it’s bad. That’s what makes it land.
  • Follow up with a real question. The line opens the door; “what’s your favourite dish?” keeps it open.

Our Halloween pick up lines cover last month, our rizz lines work all year, and our Tinder bio lines help before anyone messages you.
