A cheesy chat up line might make most women roll their eyes in disdain.

And the line guaranteed to have the most success is simple: ‘I forgot my phone number, can I have yours?’

 TOP 5 CHAT UP LINES FOR SUCCESS

1. 'I forgot my phone number, can I have yours?'

2. 'I think there is something wrong with my phone. Could you try calling it for me to see if it rings?'

3. 'Do you believe in love at first sight... or should I walk around you three or four more times?'

4. 'Hi, I'm doing a survey... What's your name? What's your phone number? Are you free next Saturday.'

5. 'Have a feel of this shirt - do you know what that feels like? Boyfriend material.'

Research by EXTRA gum revealed the top five chat up lines that, while cheesy, had the best chance at wooing the opposite sex.

But while chat up lines are favoured by men, only five per cent of women are actually impressed by the approach.

And the chat up line least likely to work is enough to make you cringe: ‘Are you on LinkedIn? Because I think we have a connection'.

Relying on a chat up line alone not enough, with the secret to wooing the opposite sex a combination of compliments and confidence.

Wrigley Marketing Director Tami Cunningham said keeping things simple and being yourself were the keys to impressing a date, with more than half of Aussie daters preferring a lively conversation or simple complement over an elaborate gesture.

For just under half of Australian daters, a simple compliment was the real key to success when impressing the opposite sex, with a 49 per cent success rate. 

A genuine connection and lively banter were also important, favoured by 58 per cent of Australians.

Personal appearance can also earn brownie points, with four out of 10 women citing well-groomed and fresh-breathed men as impressive.

Importantly, daters were urged to stay true to themselves, and steer clear of ‘false advertising’.

Almost one third of Australian daters having met up with someone who looked completely different from their dating profile picture.
