For the Life Sciences Crowd

Biology covers cells, organisms, reproduction and evolution, which means roughly half the vocabulary is already suggestive before anyone touches it. This is our full list of biology pick up lines, ranked by reader votes. They suit students, lab partners, medics and anyone who can name the parts of a cell without looking. Expect DNA jokes, mitochondria references that have long since become a meme, and several about natural selection that are cleverer than they first appear. The clean ones work in a lecture hall. The rest are best saved for the bar afterwards.

The Best Biology Pick Up Lines

Describe the type of pick up lines you want:

You're so hot, you denature my proteins.

If I was an enzyme, I'd be helicase so I could unzip your genes.

You must be the one for me, because my selectively permeable membrane let you through.

Lets unzip our genes and see if we can share codes together.

Baby, you give me sudden protracted cardiac arrhythmia every time I see you.

Baby, every time i see you, my cardiovascular system gets all worked up.

Hey baby, will a little more alcohol catalyze this reaction?

My eyes stick to you like histones on DNA.

Falling in love with you takes less time than my DNA takes to replicate.

Want to be my substrate/enzyme?

You give me more jolt than a mitochondria!

The inhibition markers on my DNA must be blocked, because I can't seem to stop myself from hitting on you.

You are the glue that links my Okazaki strands together.

I've been single-stranded far too long! Lonely ATGCATG would like to pair up with congenital TACGTAC.

My hypothalamus must be secreting serotonin because baby, you make me happy!

DNA spelled backwards is AND, as in... me AND you.

Do you like aerobic respiration as much as I do?

You make my anoxic sediments want to increase their redox potential.

You're so cute you make my zygomaticus muscles contract.

If I were a virus, I would infect you with my love.

If my right leg is the cell wall and my left the membrane, do you want to be the cytoplasm?

I wish I was adenine so I could get paired with U.

I must be a CRISPR enzyme, because I feel like I was made to edit your genes into my future.

Are you a PCR machine? Because you just amplified my feelings.

If we were like chromosomes, you’d be my homologous pair.

I’m confused because you look like a knockout and a wild-type.
