Good conversation starters on Tinder usually range from the inappropriate and risque to the more casual and friendly. It can depend on what you're after from the conversation/relationship.
When Tinder started, a lot of people were using it for informal, casual meet-ups. But many of my own friends are on Tinder in the hopes of finding something a little more serious, and a few have already found love! So right from the get-go, it's probably best to ask yourself which of the two you're after.
If you're after something informal and casual, then starting with something that's a little flirty can work like a charm, like:
- Love that little dimple in your smile, [Emma].
- Would've loved to have been on that beach with you in your photo.
But if you're hoping to find something that lasts a little longer, it can be better to ditch the risque - or even sometimes downright inappropriate/controversial! - comments and aim for something more personal, like commenting on a pet they might have in one of their pictures or one of the hobbies in their bio.
- The puppy in your second pic looks so sweet. Is he/she yours?
- I'm a huge film fan, too. Have you seen anything good lately?
It's best to steer clear from brief openers like 'Hi' that don't really start a conversation. Instead, throw a question at them that they can't help but ignore, something that they seem interested in.
And if you're still in need of a little extra help, there are a lot of websites out there dedicated to finding the best and worst Tinder pick-up lines and conversation starters, recommending what works and what doesn't. TinderLines has set up a nice little 10 Commandments to the Best Pick-Up Lines to give you an idea of the Dos and Don'ts.
Remember, they've swiped right on you for a reason, so be confident and have faith that this might be the start of something good!
