In this day and age, it's not uncommon for people to meet over social media. We have apps like Tinder, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and countless others that allow us to meet people within a certain perimeter of us. Although this concept of online dating has become normal, some people definitely still need to work on their methods of approaching someone via phone screen. For all of the fellas out there who need a little bit of assistance in coming up with the best pickup line: don't use any of these (unless you want to be featured in another Odyssey article).
