Singaporean pickup lines can be both cringe-worthy and hilarious at the same time. Some are downright dirty. From references to local food to Singlish and Singaporean neighbourhoods, there’s no shortage of creative inspiration for those looking to make a good impression.
Some of these pickup lines might be a little cheesy, but they’re all in good fun and much more interesting than “can I buy you a drink?”. Confidence is key to pulling these off and definitely only try these on a Singaporean or you’ll be drawing blank looks.
And if you can make your XMM laugh with a clever reference to Singlish or a funny pun about HDB flats, then you’re off to a good start. Just remember, if all else fails, you can always fall back on the classic line: “Eh, can I get your number?”.
