We loved the Buzzfeed experiment where a woman sent Tinder guys the emails from You’ve Got Mail, but we found a movie that’s even better suited for online dating. Here are the top 28 lines from Pretty Woman that could come in handy when online dating. Use if you dare!

The Fishing for a Compliment Approach
“People put you down enough, you start to believe it.”
“The bad stuff is easier to believe. You ever notice that?”
The Here’s-Your-Compliment Approach
“I think you are a very bright, very special woman.”
“I think you have a lot of special gifts.”
“Very few people surprise me.”
The Small Talk Approach
“Don’t you just love Prince?”
“What’s your dream?”
The Trivia Approach
“Did I mention, my leg is 44″ from hip to toe?”
The Princess Approach
“I want the fairy tale.”
“When I was a little girl, my mama used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often. And I would- I would pretend I was a princess… trapped in a tower by a wicked queen. And then suddenly this knight… on a white horse with these colors flying would come charging up and draw his sword. And I would wave. And he would climb up the tower and rescue me.”
The Warts-and-All Approach
“My special gift is impossible relationships.”
“I don’t want to be alone tonight.”
The Stalker Approach
“That’s my favorite name in the whole world.”
“I called and called, where were you last night?”
“I’d like you to spend the week with me.”
“In case I forget to tell you later, I had a really good time tonight.”
The Booty Call Approach
“I appreciate this whole seduction thing you’ve got going on here, but let me give you a tip: I’m a sure thing.”
“I got red, I got green, I got yellow… I’m out of purple, but I do have one Gold Circle coin left… the condom of champions… the one and only… nothin’ is gettin’ through this sucker. Whaddya say, hmm?”
“I could just pop ya real good and get outta here.”
The Highbrow Approach
People’s reactions to opera the first time they see it is very dramatic; they either love it or they hate it. If they love it, they will always love it. If they don’t, they may learn to appreciate it, but it will never become part of their soul.
The Sugar Daddy Approach
