Oh, online dating! While it can be fun, it can also be difficult at the same time. Most of the time, it is hard to figure out what someone’s intentions are on dating apps. There are people online that swipe due to boredom, while there are others who are looking for something more serious. Most importantly, everyone can use some tips, advice, and conversation starters to help gauge whether you connect with someone or not. Therefore, before we get into our list of 40+ Tinder conversation starters, I wanted to share some advice:
My tips and advice for using Tinder:
- Be honest with yourself and those you choose to have a conversation with.
- Write what you are looking for in your bio. (example: “Just moved here, looking for someone to grab drinks and hang out with)
- Add as many pictures as possible. It’s important to have selfies, photos with friends, etc.
- Make your bio interesting. This could include a funny joke, what you enjoy doing on the weekends, or any hobbies. This will help show what type of person you are and allow others to decide if your interests align with theirs.
- There are some people that you connect with, and other’s that you won’t. Don’t take it personally.
- Make your conversation sound friendly and casual.
Something to keep in mind:
The ability to have a good conversation is so important. For example, no one likes the boring conversations that we often run into that go a little something like this:
John: hey.
Linda: hey, what’s up?
John: nothing much, how about you?
Linda nothing, just bored.
Then, the conversation just ends….
As a result, these boring conversations that take place may leave you feeling discouraged. You may feel that you two just don’t click, or you can’t see the conversation going anywhere. Above all, we understand that finding the right words and initiating a conversation can be hard. That is why having a list of fun and engaging conversation starters can make all the difference.
To clarify, whether you are tired, lazy, or just can’t think of what words to say, we have you covered! Simply just copy and paste from our list below.
