What Makes a Good Opening Line?
Tinder openers will work if they are :
Engaging and/or relatable to the girl
Talking about something that she cares about
Or at the very least, something that she knows of
This makes them 69% easier to answer.
It’s important to understand what makes a great conversation starter because then you can improvise, adapt and overcome.
Considering that close to 75% of Tinder users in the US are other guys, there is a lot of competition.
Your edge: after reading this article you will have new hot Tinder openers that are way more interesting than what most guys say.
Look at that.
We are still in the introduction of this article and you’ve got a new working line to add to your roster of Tinder openers.
Sorry, not sorry.
I talked about the importance of being engaging when starting a convo before.
With this in mind, you can easily come up with your Tinder openers.
But you can also just pick one of the proven openers below.
Let’s go through my latest, most awesome 15 Tinder openers.
15 Tinder Openers to Stand out of the Crowd
Do you know what I hate the most with all the Tinder openers that you can find online?
They seldom help move the conversation forward.
Sure, you can tell a girl that you noticed SOMETHING CRAZY😱 in her profile.
You will get a reply.
But is that helping?
Does she reply because she is curious?
Yes.
Or does she reply because she wants to get to know you?
Not necessarily.
The other day my date jokingly told me that the best way to have a girl chase you was to steal something from her…
Well, yes.
Technically this is true.
But this won’t lead to anything romantic.
My point: most Tinder openers are just good at that.
Getting a girl to reply to you.
And while it feels good, it doesn’t always help in getting a date.
Tinder Openers that ACTUALLY Work
This is why all the Tinder openers that you will read in this article have been carefully thought out to :
Have girls know this is a “flirtatious” conversation and not some 6th-grade joke (feel the sexual tension!)
Avoid making you a dancing monkey that gets forgotten as soon as she isn’t entertained anymore
Weed out uninterested matches that are, in fact, just Tinderin’ on the toilet
Open up possibilities to lead the conversation to a date
What you want to avoid is to send clever lines to convince girls to go out with you because of all of your “smart efforts”.
“Aww, your message was so funny, well played Mr. Smooth, you earned it, here is my number.”
This is wrong on So. Many. Levels.
This immediately puts her on a pedestal.
This conditions your future interactions with her to have this “you pleasing her for a reward” dynamic.
And from a business perspective, this is a bad way to negotiate.
Don’t Try-Hard It
Trying hard to be smooth shows that you’re ready to go out of your way to shower women with attention.
You want to seduce with your life and personality (which is why it is super duper important to make sure your profile is as good as possible).
Not with clever lines.
Yes, this is how much I hate Tinder openers.
But yet here we are, about to learn 15 new ones.
What’s going on?
Well, you still have to send something to start the conversation.
And you just don’t want to spend long minutes thinking about what to say.
So I did the job for you.
And I’ve gathered my best Tinder openers to pique her curiosity while still maintaining that smooth flirty vibe.
So sit back, relax and choose which opener to go for.
1 – “Why do you look so innocent but yet so wild?”
My personal opinion: This one goes first on the list because it is my favorite one of all time.
I’ve been using it since the start of 2022 and it has proven super effective.
It immediately sets the frame and allows her to act “wild” without shame (because she also is innocent).
As you can see in the example above, things go caliente within 3 messages.
Leading this to a date is super straightforward:
Asking what is her favorite drink so she can prove her claims in real life.
2 – “You’re so cute but so far!”
Since everyone started using the Passport Feature during Covid, you might have a bunch of matches that are not directly near you.
The combination of compliment plus distance creates this vibe of impossible love.
And girls dig it.
It also works well if you’re about to travel and get matches in another city or country.
3 – “You didn’t have to bring your [cute animal] to get me to swipe!”
This one is a banger as well because it immediately implies that she did something to seduce you.
Obviously, this is a joke.
Girls get it.
But you’re now instantly in a flirty interaction, which wouldn’t have been possible by simply telling her that her dog was cute.
Instead of just saying hi or simply asking a question, this one combines both.
It’s very mild but still carries the intention: you’re here to get to know her.
If you ever match with a girl who seems more traditional than wild, go for this one.
5 – The Party Invite
Great if you have a very active lifestyle and you find dates boring, not so great if you want a “regular” date.
Either way, most girls like to party so this one is a great tool for you.
Close her by asking for her contact information so that you can send her the details of the party.
Surprisingly, I found a Reddit thread in which women commented that they feel most comfortable on dates that are not actual dates.
Inviting a girl to a party seems a great low-key way to have her come out with you.
She gets to experience your personality first hand without the associated pressure.
Tip: Notice how she ghosted the first message but I was able to restart the conversation by being light and fun in my follow-up.
6 – The Quick Question
The whole point of Tinder is to find a date.
This opener does just that.
It cuts through useless fluff and gets to the point (but doesn’t make you appear thirsty in the process).
It’s also very easy to follow up since most girls will answer that they like to do interesting things.
It’s very easy to go from here and to invite her to “try out this exotic tequila bar you found last week”.
7 – “How did you know I liked [something about her]?”
Another great way to flip the script and make it feel as if she is the one chasing you.
Of course, it’s a joke, but again, this sets the tone.
You and she are both here because you liked each other.
Moving forward, you can easily ask her what other good things she has going for herself.
Or how she could show them to you in real life.
8 – Your Best Try at Speaking Her Language
We live in the 21st century and thanks to globalization, love knows no boundaries.
Spanish is the 2nd most spoken language in the US, even if you don’t speak it, your best try at it is guaranteed to at least make her giggle.
What I like to say translates awkwardly to :
“I speak a bit, but it might be enough to seduce you with my foreign language.”
Very easy to move to a date by asking her to teach you more, or proposing to be her English teacher.
Tip: If it’s not Spanish, try your best with Russian, Chinese, Japanese, …
Especially if you make it a little bit romantic and flirty.
9 – “How can I know you’re the kind of girl who shares her food?”
I’m a big fan of opening lines where you “test” your match.
This one is no exception.
It’s engaging because it’s challenging.
Nobody likes to be seen as selfish, so your chances to get a reply are quite high with this one.
Use it whenever your match has pictures of herself eating food.
It’s also very easy to move this conversation to eat something together in real life.
10 – The Classic
Okay, you got me.
I’m sure you’ve seen this one before because it’s a very basic way to say hi.
But I’d be lying if I told you that you cannot get dates by starting a conversation this way.
In fact, this is a very good way to start a conversation if your profile is already super attractive.
Or if you’re simply feeling lazy after a long day at work.
It shows that you don’t have to try hard.
Here is how to make sure it doesn’t come off as lazy :
You take a very basic greeting
You add a little twist, just to make sure she didn’t see the same thing from another match yet.
11 – “Swiped right for the cute nerd glasses”
Combining a compliment and a non-compliment adds a touch of playfulness to your message.
What do you mean by a nerd?
Are you being mean?
It can’t be, because you also said that she’s cute.
So what’s up?
She just has to reply to know more.
All the advantages of clickbait Tinder openers plus the pinch of flirting make all the difference.
12 – “I’m a traditional gentleman, are you a traditional woman?”
Another open-ended question still sets the frame of the interaction.
Bonus: you get to know exactly what kind of girl she is.
(I only show the first sentence in this example because she shares some deep personal info about herself, but she wrote a paragraph about it.)
You can quickly move this to a real-life meeting by telling her that it’s easier to truly know someone face-to-face.
Super interesting if you’re not in just for a quick hookup.
13 – Wait, you’re vaccinated?
Ah yes, Covid, what a hot topic.
We always say that your Tinder openers have to stay relevant, well this one sure is.
Tinder even lets people mention on their profile that they got vaccinated.
That’s a great way to start the conversation.
After all, if she’s vaccinated, she’s safe to come out on a date with you.
14 – “You seem like my type”
Another Tinder opener that cuts to the chase.
You like her, you let her know.
But it’s a tiny little bit more subtle than that.
She seems like your type.
There is still room for her to not be your type.
So you’re not buying it just yet.
It’s easy to play with it and to challenge her to prove whether she’s your type or not during a date.
15 – Assuming that She Likes New Experiences
If you ever see a girl with outdoor pictures in her profile, there is no way that she doesn’t like an adventure.
And a new experience could very well be you and her together.
In fact, since you guys matched, you might as well join to do cool activities and get to know each other better in real life.
One of my favorite ways to send efficient Tinder openers is to reference something that’s in her profile and that’s why this one works so well.
What to Do if I Get Ghosted Often?
Getting ghosted sucks.
It would feel better if girls would simply tell us why there is no spark.
Actually, getting ghosted once doesn’t always mean that she doesn’t like you.
It’s a bit annoying, I got it.
But you can sometimes save the day by sending a “resuscitation text”.
Improving your
My ULTIMATE Way to Resuscitate Dead Conversations
Having great Tinder openers is amazing, yes.
But sometimes life gets in the way and even if she matched and quite liked you, she won’t have time to reply.
And your message will get buried under a ton of other guys’ texts.
So if even your best Tinder openers fail, we can still do something about it.
You are going to double text her (the right way).
This is easy to mess up and to come off as needy, we don’t want that.
This would be super unattractive.
Here’s my ultimate way to make sure you send a Resuscitation Text™ properly :
Mention or imply that she didn’t reply
Make it light and funny by exaggerating the situation
Do not complain or ask for a reply
In this example, I made a joke about the fact she didn’t reply, implying that she hated balconies.
Most people do not hate balconies.
Another one of my favorite lines is to ask girls :
“did someone kidnap u?”
This exaggeration instantly makes the situation lighter and laughable.
It still pushes her gently to reply.
Tip: Don’t react butthurt. If she doesn’t reply, be light and fun and you will have your best shot at reviving a dead match.
Make Girls Accepting to Go on Dates Easy for You
Ultimately, the determining factor will be your profile.
It is your pictures and your bio that will do most of the heavy lifting.
If your profile is top-notch, you can get away by getting to the point.
That’s why some Tinder openers like the very basic number 10 above work.
(Check out our Amazing Guide on how to take great Tinder photos too.)
Spoiler alert.
It’s not necessarily about being handsome or ripped.
You won’t need to spend days texting back and forth to convince her that you’re a cool, non-creepy guy if your profile already does that for you.
There You Go.
You now have all the weapons that you need to shoot your matches with the latest sniper Tinder openers available.
And remember: the goal is not to get a 100% response rate.
The goal is to send useful and flirty messages that lead girls who want a date to a date with you.
And hey, if you’re struggling with getting matches to begin with…
