"You are like a compass, without you I am lost" has been voted as the nation's favourite chat up line.

Social networking website Talk2Reg carried out a survey to uncover the top six best and worst pick-up lines.

"Are you a parking ticket coz you got fine written all over you?" was crowned the UK's second best line, closely followed by "Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?" in third.

"Do you believe in love at first sight or do I have to walk past you again" took fourth place, while "I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I can make your bed rock!" came fifth.

Another line that could help you pull is "Are those space pants your wearing coz your ass is out of this world?"

However, if you're looking to impress that special person, you may want to avoid saying "Here's 20p, ring your Mum and tell her you won't be home tonight". This line was voted as the nation's worst.

You might also want to refrain from saying "How do you like your eggs in the morning?" or "I like your dress it would look great on my bedroom floor".

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?", "Your dad must have been a thief, coz he stole the stars and put them in your eyes!" and "If you were a burger you'd be a McGorgeous" are other lines to keep to yourself, according to the survey.

Talk2Reg surveyed more than 600 UK flirters between the ages of 17-40.
