It’s 2018, so basically, everything we do is via an app. We’re communicating with our friends via apps, shopping via apps, tracking our weightloss via apps – I’m surprised we’re not going to the bathroom via apps (if we could, I bet we would).
So, it’s no surprise that the majority of single people are relying on apps to get them dates. The world of dating apps can be so pressure-filled and scary, it’s almost difficult to manage how to use them navigate the “dating app sphere.” The hardest thing? Coming up with the perfect “first message” to someone you kinda like. But, have no fear, we’re here to help you out.
8. Have them describe themselves via emoji:
Asking them to describe themselves in 3-4 emoji icons can lead to some interesting conversation. Plus, it makes the other party actually think. Some of them can be funny, while others can be downright confusing – which, leads you to having a longer, deeper conversation. Emojis, however, keep it lighthearted and fun.
7. Tell them they have great taste in women/men:
Being confident is something everyone loves and opening with a flirt line like this can definitely draw someone’s attention in. The other party will see that you’re hella confident in yourself, but also playful and fun – which is a great quality to have.
6. Open with a funny GIF:
The fact that most dating apps allow you to use GIF commenting is a huge plus. Open the conversation with a funny GIF from a show you love or your favorite movie, and see what kind of GIF they respond with. You two may go back-to-back for a while sharing GIFs, and you can discuss why you picked those specific ones.
5. Use something from their bio:
If someone writes about loving to travel or loving the outdoors, open with something relating to that. If someone is from a specific place in the world, say something fun and interesting about that place. Always show that you’re interested in what they have to say/learning more about them.
