Tired of your Tinder openers getting no responses?
Tons of guys struggle with knowing what to say in Tinder openers that will actually get convos going. We’ve put together templates & copy/paste examples of Tinder openers you can use to confidently chat up your matches.
Tinder Opener # 1 — Random fun fact
Your first step as a strange male on the internet is to prove you’re normal and trustworthy. Demonstrate that you’re a chill guy by sharing a fun fact as your Tinder opener. This fresh approach is disarming, and bound to elicit some follow up questions. 😎
Examples:
You: Did you know there’s an island in Japan whose only occupants are rabbits?
Emily: Lol, what?! That sounds like the best island ever
You: Right? My sister went there last year…apparently the bunnies are super friendly
Emily: Now I want to go!
You: Would you believe it if I told you all the colors of Froot Loops have the same flavor
Rowena: No! When I was a kid, I always saved the red ones for last because they were my favorite
You: The mind plays powerful tricks
Rowena: Now I have to wonder what else from my childhood was a lie!
Tinder Opener # 2 — Personal anecdote
Does anyone actually enjoy small talk?
Tinder opens up a whole new world of communication — let’s leave the boring “heys” to fossilize alongside Myspace and AIM. Tinder openers that dive right in with a funny story or anecdote about your day show that you’re interesting.
These Tinder openers also reveal you’re confident enough to start sharing before you know you’ll get a response.
Examples:
You: So this morning I was in a DD drive thru, and the person in front of me paid for my coffee. Made my entire day!
Isabel: Aww! That happened to me once, and I still get happy thinking about it. Did you pay it forward?
You: I see that you’re into rock climbing…have you tried bouldering? I just did for the first time last week and my fingers are still sore!
Rachel: Yeah, I do that occasionally! It does take so much finger strength. Mine are getting quite calloused–not sexy
Tinder Opener # 3 — Icebreaker game
We can be honest here — Tinder feels a lot like a game sometimes. Even people looking to make a serious connection enjoy the rush of swiping and getting a match. Keep the fun going with a lighthearted party game as your Tinder opener that begs for a reply.
Examples:
You: Kiss, marry, kill: Zac Efron, Bob Ross, Bradley Cooper
Becca: Marry Bob Ross (duh), kiss Bradley Cooper, kill Zac Efron
You: Oooo, sorry Zac!
Becca: Ok, kiss, marry, kill–Betty White, Selena Gomez, Amelia Earhart
You: Would you rather go about an entire day naked or sleep for a year straight?
Chloe: Easy, sleep for a year!
Chloe: That sounds like heaven
You: Really? I get FOMO even when I go to bed like an hour early
Chloe: I never get fomo!
