Advice for Tinder Pick Up Lines
If you're intimdated by making the first move on dating apps, don't sweat over swiping! Instead, scroll on to see some helpful tips for navigating Tinder and dropping that first message.
- Offer compliments and ask questions. Research shows compliments and questions are most effective at eliciting responses, shares Liesel Sharabi, Ph.D. an Associate Professor at Arizona State University, directing the Relationships and Technology Lab. They're even more effective than a pick up line!
- If you use a generic line, immediately follow it with a question. It's easier for a person to respond to a custom message, so ask a question inspired by their profile. If they list their favorite book for instance, say: "I appreciate your taste in literature. Have you read [insert title of a book you love]?" Or try: "I see you're a big foodie. So am I! What's your favorite restaurant in the area?"
-
Invest time into your messages. Avoid messages you could send to 10 people without changes, counsels Sharabi. If someone feels you didn't invest the time to read their profile, they won't be as compelled to respond. To avoid the spam effect, use their name and cite something you have in common, or mention what about their profile got your attention, suggests Amber Lee, CEO and co-founder of Select Date Society, and a professional matchmaker and a relationship expert.
- Keep it brief. Be short and sweet, advises Susan Trombetti, professional matchmaker and CEO of Exclusive Matchmaking. Because we know response rates can be low, try not put too much emotional weight on crafting on the perfect opening line. Again, what will get the most likes is being yourself.
