How to Start a Conversation on a Dating App: 10 Best Openers

By Mate Dating App Team

Stop Saying "Hi"

Sending a generic "Hi" or "Hello" is the easiest way to get ignored. It shows zero effort. Instead, try asking a question about their profile.

Top 10 Openers

  • "I see you love hiking! What's the best trail you've been on?"
  • "That dog in your second photo is adorable. What's his name?"
  • "Pizza with pineapple: Yes or No? (This is important)"
  • "If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go?"
  • "I love your taste in music. Have you seen [Band Name] live?"

Be Genuine

The best opener is one that shows you actually read their profile. People love talking about themselves, so give them an opening to do so.
