Aside from being caring, having a good heart, and showing respect to their culture, you know what else attracts a Filipina? You’re right, a good sense of humor!

Filipinos by nature are happy people. It only takes a small effort to tickle their funny bones and make them laugh. Admiringly, they still laugh even when they’re sad and facing difficulties in life. They seem to have the ability to find joy in almost every situation. So, it’s vital they marry someone who will make them happy and make their day brighter.

If you’re dating a Filipina, one way to make them laugh is by using pickup lines — a funny conversation opener to engage a person for romance and dating. A lot of Filipino women are particularly fond of them.

Wondering what pickup lines to use? Here are some of them.

Pagod ka siguro? Kasi palagi kang tumatakbo sa isip ko.

Are you tired? Because you always run on my mind.

Mainit ba dito o ikaw ba yun?

Is it hot in here or is it just you?

Kumain ka ba ng asukal? Kasi ang tamis ng ngiti mo.

Did you eat sugar? Because your smile is so sweet.

Pangarap ka ba? Kasi gusto kitang abutin.

Are you a dream? Because I want to reach you.

Glue ka ba? Kasi nakadikit ka sa isipan ko.

Are you a glue? Because you’re stuck in my mind.

Magnanakaw ako, at nanakawin ko ang puso mo.

I’m a thief, and I’m here to steal your heart.

Sumbong kita sa pulis. Ninakaw mo kasi puso ko.

I will call the police because you stole my heart.

Pizza ka ba? Crust kasi kita eh.

Are you a pizza? Because I have a crust (crush) on you.

Nawawala ako. Pwede mo ba akong turuan kung saan ang puso mo?

I’m lost. Can you give me directions to your heart?

May lahi ka bang keyboard? Type kasi kita.

Are you a keyboard? Because you’re my type.

Nawawala yung phone number ko. Pwede ko bang makuha yung sa’yo?

My phone number is lost. Can I have yours?

May pangalan ka na ba? Baka pwede kitang tawaging ‘akin’

Do you have a name? Maybe I can call you mine.

I’m sure your partner will laugh to their heart’s content.

Also, there’s more.

If you want to attract a Filipina, always show respect and consideration. To delve deeper, here’s what you should and shouldn’t do.

  • Be mindful of your words because some pickup lines may create derogatory remarks that can hurt your partner. Some lines may be funny to you, but others may think it’s offensive.
  • Be genuine with your intention. Don’t say something for the sake of impressing your partner. Say it because it’s true and it’s what you feel.

Don’t Underestimate a Good Pickup Line

Filipinas appreciate a good gesture that makes them happy. Pickup lines, whether witty or cheesy, are a way to a Filipina’s heart. Just be mindful not to cross any line and say something that will offend them.
