Mermaids are known to be stunningly beautiful, sweet and enchanting. So what better way than to call your crush a mermaid/merman/merperson while flirting with them.
It might not only make them feel special but also show that you are creative because not many people use mermaid pick-up lines!
Feel free to adjust the pick-up lines to the gender of the person you want to talk to. Instead of “mermaid”, you can say “merman” or “merperson” if you are not talking to a girl.

Why even use mermaid pick-up lines?
First of all, it is something different than the usual pick-up lines. And most girls like being called a mermaid.
Mermaids are mythological beings with the upper body of a woman and a fishtail. The earliest mermaid myth stems from Assyria (modern Syria) and dates back to 1000 B.C. Since then, mermaids have fascinated people on all continents because of their mysterious and beautiful aura.
Mermaids carry a lot of meaning regarding beauty and love
If you call a girl or a woman a mermaid you are practically calling her a goddess of the ocean who represents the flow and power of the element of water.
It is no wonder that the water is traditionally a female element, as it not only is the source of life but also often the source of pure beauty.
For example, in ancient Greece, the sea nymphs were known as the most beautiful of all the gods.
Just like their looks, their singing voices are equally as beautiful. It can however turn out to be dangerous as well (but this mostly goes back to the sirens from Greek mythology).
Mermaids are also often a symbol of love. Many stories tell how men and mermaids fall in love.
This is probably one of the biggest associations people nowadays have with mermaids because of how Ariel fell in love with the prince in the Disney movie The Little Mermaid.
So, when you call someone a mermaid, this usually carries a much deeper meaning other than that they have a tail.
It most probably will make them think of the beauty, singing, mystery, love, captivating self and maybe even seductiveness of mermaids.
So pretty much the perfect figure to compare a girl you like to in a pick-up line. Since pick-up lines usually draw on first impressions, the beauty of the mermaids can be the main comparison point, if that is what you are trying to express.
A mermaid is a good analogy for ocean lovers and swimmers
These pick-up lines might be especially fitting for people who love the ocean in general and like to swim, dive, snorkel or even do mermaid swimming etc.
So why not try them out at the beach or pool?
It’s also a cute way to greet your mermaid friends or to comment on their social media with.
