It's almost as hard to break the ice on Tinder as it is in real life! To help you, here are a few ways to get started.
Compliment them
Everyone likes to read about how attractive / clever / funny they are, so write it! Send a message outlining exactly what you like about that person. Tell them they have a lovely smile, or that you like their hair or that the joke they told was hilarious. Just be nice.
Ask about their day / weekend
Keep it simple and chatty - just say what you'd say to a friend: 'How was your day?' 'Any cool weekend plans?' 'Get up to much last night?' Just remember to ask questions - questions need an answer so they keep the conversation going by asking more.
Tell a knock knock joke
Nobody can resist a knock knock joke. They're bound to be too curious not to ask 'who's there?'
