What is your first reaction when you hear someone use a cheesy line? If you are a closet romantic, you'd pooh-pooh the die-hard romantic talk. You might even make disgusted faces and tell others how stupid young lovers are. But honestly, wouldn't you love it when someone used a cheesy line on you?

Something happens to us when we hear cheesy love quotes. On the outside, we pretend to be squeamish. But inside, we admire the deep love that gushes out in the form of unbridled flattery.

Break the Ice With Love Quotes

Cheesy love quotes can be great icebreakers when you want to work your charm on someone. In fact, many couples have claimed that it's the cheesy love quotes that are the deal clinchers. Many years later, they fondly remember the first time they met, often citing the pickup line that sealed their love. As the years go by, couples may fall into a comfort zone, and the expression of these kinds of love sentiments might become awkward. But rest assured romance never dies out. When your partner occasionally makes a public display of affection by using cheesy lines, you can't help feeling all romantic.

Use Valentine's Day as an Excuse

On Valentine's Day, you can pull out all the stops. Whether you are single or happily married, this is a perfect time to test the cheesy love quotes and woo your sweetheart. On Valentine's Day, you can even blame the cheese on Cupid. Go the extra mile and shower love on your dearest. Cast aside your embarrassment and fear of rejection. Read some sappy romantic movie quotes for inspiration and play Romeo or Juliet. Your lover might be embarrassed or even mortified by your sudden display of passion. But when they look back, they will treasure these memories of love.
