Let's be real: Finding an excuse to approach a hottie in a bar can be tough.

Thankfully, there are plenty of ice breakers to use on someone at a bar that can help you get a conversation started. This way, you can get your flirt on ASAP, and the sooner the better. We all know what it feels like to wait too long, only to find that our bae has, sadly, left the building.

Flirting in bars is one of life's simple pleasures, people. It's fun, it's an adrenaline rush, and if the chit-chat goes nowhere, you're in an entire room filled with other people who you can get your mingle on with. So, if you need some flirty conversation starters, here's some inspiration.

2. "Besides being gorgeous, what do you do for living?"

3. "Is your name Google? Because you've got everything I'm searching for."

4. "Did it hurt when you fell from the vending machine? Cause you look like a snack!"

5. "You are hotter than the bottom of my laptop."

6. "There’s only one thing I want to change about you, and that’s your last name."

15. "Can I follow you? Cause my mom told me to follow my dreams."

16. "Did you steal my beer? That one looks just like the one I was drinking."

18. "I couldn't help noticing you're drinking the same beer as me. Are you trying to copy me?"

19. "I definitely know you from somewhere… I wouldn't have forgotten you."

20. "Is it hot in here or is it just you?"

21. “Come on, let's go back to my place, I’ll make you a quesadilla.”
