First impressions are crucial, especially when meeting a potential romantic partner. When you spot someone cute across the room at a bar, coffee shop, or house party, it can be daunting to walk over and strike up a conversation. Luckily, there are a number of easy ways to quell your nerves and make a smooth introduction. A witty, sweet, or charming pickup line is the perfect way to break the ice with that special someone.
