Bowling Pick-Up Lines
40 Cheesy Lines for the Lanes

Bowling has a vocabulary that practically writes its own pick-up lines: strikes, spares, alleys, pins and balls. These are meant to be fun, not smooth. Use them on a bowling date, in a Valentine's card or in the team group chat, and expect eye rolls.

Sweet ones

• You must be a strike, because you just knocked me over.
• I'd never leave you standing like a 10 pin.
• Are you a perfect game? Because I've been looking for you for a long time.
• You've got me hooked.
• Life without you would be a gutter ball.
• I think we're right up each other's alley.
• You're my favorite frame of the night.
• You complete me, like a spare.
• I'd bowl a thousand games just to sit next to you on the settee.
• With you, every night feels like cosmic bowling.

Cheesy ones

• Are you a bowling ball? Because I'd pick you up and never let go.
• Is your name Turkey? Because I want three of you in a row.
• I may not be a pro, but I know how to handle a split.
• You look like you've got a lot of pin action.
• My score's terrible, but my aim is true.
• Do you need a spare? Because I'm free tonight.
• I'm not a 300 game, but I'll try every frame.
• Are you oil? Because I'm sliding right toward you.
• Let's skip the bumpers.
