If you’re trying to rizz up your recent Tinder match or charm that cutie you met at the gay bar, we’ve got you covered! We’ve put together a list of flirty, dirty, and funny pickup lines to maximize your sapphic rizz. Plus, keep reading for a guide to WLW rizz and some WLW dating tips, with exclusive insights from a sex and relationship expert.

Best Pickup Lines for WLW Rizz

Sex and relationship expert Gabrielle Kassel says a simple, direct ask is the most effective way to rizz up a WLW. You could say, “I’d love to take you on a date—can I give you my number?” or “I’m really enjoying flirting with you. Can I take you for coffee sometime?” That said, here are some bolder pickup lines you can try:

  • “They should suspend your license for driving all the girls crazy.”
  • “You must be a tarot card, because I can see my future with you.”
  • “I’m gonna let U-Haul me back to your place.”
  • “Are you a parking ticket? Because you’ve got fine written all over you.”
  • “I’d love to put my smile on your face.”

How to Have WLW Rizz

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Compliment her. A little bit of flattery can go a long way when you’re trying to rizz up another queer woman. Pick something specific about her style or her energy, and deliver the compliment with confidence. You can never go wrong with letting her know you’ve noticed her carefully curated outfit or her niche, indie music taste.
  2. 2
    Make and hold eye contact. Eye contact is a must for WLW flirting![1] The goal is to let her know that you’re interested, so make sure you’re holding eye contact while you talk to her. This will let her know that you’re engaged with what she’s saying, and might even make her a little nervous.
  3. 3
    Playfully touch her. This is one way to get out of the classic WLW “are we friends or flirting?” spiral.[2] If she says something funny, you might try to playfully touch her arm, shoulder, or hand while you’re laughing.
    • Tip: Ask to compare hand sizes. This is an innocent but flirty approach to breaking the touch barrier.
  4. 4
    Exchange music recommendations. “Do you listen to Girl in Red?” is a WLW pickup line for a reason. This is a particularly good move if you can’t quite tell if the girl you’re talking to is queer. Oftentimes, her taste in music will have hints—MUNA, Fletcher, or boygenius are all good indicators. And if you’re really feeling flirty, make a collaborative playlist!
  5. 5
    Be confident and be yourself! Pickup lines will only get you so far. If you’re interested in her, be authentic and straightforward about it. It may sound overdone, says Kassel, but the best thing you can do is be yourself. “Don’t try to play a role, fake interest in something, or match someone else’s energy if it doesn’t feel natural.”[3]

WLW Dating Tips

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Meet other queer women on apps or in-person in queer spaces. Matchmaker and dating coach Lauren Sanders recommends using LGBTQ+ centered dating apps or going to queer meetup groups from sites like meetup.com.[4] If you’re new to WLW dating, apps like Hinge or Bumble are a good place to start. This is a low-stakes way to see what’s out there and try out some flirty pickup lines! You can also explore queer spaces like gay bars to get your feet wet.
  2. 2
    Be direct when you’re asking her out. According to Kassel, a simple, direct ask is often the most effective and respectful approach—especially in queer spaces where you may not know if someone has the capacity to be attracted to people of your gender or their availability. Offering your number instead of asking for theirs can also feel more consent-forward, which can be soothing to people who have learned that being hit on can feel threatening. It puts the ball in their court and allows them to opt in without feeling cornered, they continue.[8]
    • Additionally, because you’ve explicitly stated that you want to take them on a date, odds are high that if they text you, they specifically are interested in going on a date with you, adds Kassel.[9]
    • Dating coach Alessandra Conti agrees, saying the best way to go about dating is by verbalizing what you want.[10] If you’ve been talking on an app for a while, or texting after you met IRL, ask her on a date!
  3. 3
    Trust your instincts (for the most part). Life coach Cyndy Etler suggests relying on your gut and tuning into subtle cues.[11] If you’re having a hard time telling if she’s interested in you, trust your intuition! If she’s been using the WLW rizz we discussed above, chances are she likes you! Don’t be afraid to rely on your gaydar. Kassel also advises paying attention to reciprocity. “Are they asking you questions back? Leaning in? Matching your energy? In dating, mutuality (or lack thereof) is useful information.”[12]
    • That said, don’t rely on context clues alone, advises Kassel. Being in a queer-coded space (like a lesbian bar or drag brunch) can increase the likelihood of an overlapped identity. At the end of the day, “it’s best not to assume—checking in verbally is more reliable.”[13]
  4. 4
    Respect the other person’s boundaries with grace. If someone isn’t interested, a simple “No worries—nice meeting you” goes a long way, notes Kassel. Respect should be a given in any setting, but given that queer spaces are often tight-knit, setting boundaries with grace and generosity keeps the space feeling safe for you and them, they continue.[14]
  5. 5
    Take things slow. WLW dating can be exciting, and you might find it tempting to fast track your relationship (the U-Haul stereotype exists for a reason). But remember, you don’t need to be in a rush. Dating coach John Keegan says that even though it’s challenging, it’s good to let go of the need for an outcome and to concentrate on getting to know the person you’re dating.[17] The early stages of a relationship are a fun and exciting time—remember to slow down and enjoy it!
    • Connections can move from “friendly” to “flirty” over time, agrees Kassel. Sometimes, they start flirty but ease into a mutually fulfilling platonic relationship. That kind of fluidity isn’t just okay, but a normal and healthy part of forging community and relationships![18]
    • Kassel says not to fret friendship energy. “There’s a lot of discourse in queer dating around how to tell if someone is complimenting you in a date way or a friend way. Sure, it makes sense that you want to know someone’s intentions, but friendship is a strong foundation for a romantic relationship.”[19]
  6. 6
    Be patient. If you haven’t had much luck on the WLW dating scene, it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It can be tough meeting other queer women, depending on where you live and where you spend your time. But don’t worry, the right person is out there. You’ll be able to use your WLW rizz soon enough!
    • Etler notes, “If you Google LGBTQ organizations in town X, near where you live, a lot of times they have events. And if it's not your jam now or ever to go to an in-person event, there's also chats where you can be anonymous.”[20]
