2. Hooking up is cool, but have you ever matched with someone on a dating app and had them send a really good first message? I always remember my reusable bags at the supermarket, which has to.
3. If you're not sure how to introduce yourself on a dating site or app, try out these fun options. Basic First Message Examples Just as you would introduce yourself to someone in real life, start with a form of 'hello' and the short version of why you're reaching out. Hey there, stranger, wanna become acquaintances?

Although dating apps allow you to swipe from the comfort of your own home, striking up a conversation with a new cutie means stepping out of your comfort zone. No matter how confident you are, it’s not always easy to nail the perfect first message. So, knowing a couple of funny dating app conversation starters can be a great way to break the ice — and melt the tension.

What's a better line: 'How you doin' ' or 'How you doin'?' The dating app Hinge (it's like Tinder but based more on your Facebook friend group) did some experimenting to find out what kinds of opening messages work best once you've been matched with someone.

Claudia Cox, relationship coach and founder of Text Weapon, says that opening with a compliment can sometimes come off as superficial. “Even if they are drop-dead gorgeous, go deeper,” Cox tells Bustle. “Start a conversation based on things that you are both interested in. Begin with a common topic and then transition into other things.”

If your new match has a picture of them at your favorite brewery or their dog looks just like yours, making that connection can be the perfect way to start a conversation. And if you’re trying to make them smile (and want to show off how witty you are,) shooting off a funny opening line may make the sparks really start to fly.
