Chambers has translated the top 10 phrases into French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
Anna Stevens from Chambers Harrap said: "The French and Italians are especially renowned for their romantic ways, but it seems that chat-up lines are the same no matter what language you are speaking.
"Our chat-up lines show budding English-speaking Romeos how to impress the girl of their dreams whatever country she is from, but it also allows British women to wise up to the charms and cheeky ways of foreign suitors."
The top 10 lines are:
1. Was your father a thief? Because he stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes
2. Didn't it hurt when you fell from heaven?
3. You must be tired because you've been running through my mind all day.
4. Excuse me, I seem to have lost my phone number. Could I borrow yours?
5. Do you believe in love at first sight or shall I walk by again?
6. Excuse me, do you kiss strangers? No? Well let me introduce myself
7. Do your legs hurt from running through my dreams all night?
8. I'm new in town. Could you give me directions to your apartment?
9. Do you have a map? I keep getting lost in your eyes.
10. The only thing your eyes haven't told me is your name.
