4. Make a joke about dating apps:
Making a joke about being on dating apps shows that you’re not embarrassed or ashamed to be on Tinder or Bumble (or anything else like that). Make a funny joke about swiping a lot, but you’re happy you swiped on this particular person. Being self-aware and having high enough self-esteem to laugh at yourself is super attractive.
3. Use an old-school, cheesy opener:
Using a cheesy pick-up line (an appropriate one, no sexual innuendoes, guys) can be cute and funny all at the same time. You never know, they can come back with an even cheesier line and you can both laugh about it on your 10th date.
2. Be upfront and make the plans:
Show them you’re unafraid and ready to go on an adventure by suggesting a low-key yet fun date idea. “Lets grab tacos on Tuesday,” or “How about a beer to make this Monday better?” Forwardness can sometimes be a good thing, showing someone you’re down to make this happen and not just go back and forth for months on text messages.
1. Two truths and a lie:
Two truths and a lie is a game that everyone plays (usually with drinks). Basically, you say two true things about yourself and one lie about yourself, and the other party has to try to figure out what’s true and what’s the lie. It’s definitely good to start a convo and you may be surprised with what you find out. Plus, everyone loves to play a fun little game.
