If you start with a compliment, make it as specific as you can, especially if you’re a guy messaging a girl.If something in particular really stood out in the person’s profile, mention it! It shows that you swiped right on them for more than just looks.Start with a question - even if it’s as simple as, “How are you today?” It gives the other person something to respond to.

Sometimes a message that seems too “try hard” is a sure way of NOT getting a response. But the absolute best thing you can do is keep it simple and be yourself. The initial introduction can really be hard for some people and with good reason - you never know how much emphasis your match puts on the introduction and to be honest it’s a hard balance of standing out but being authentic to yourself.

Sounds like a lot of pressure, right? Well it doesn’t need to be.

So, you both swiped right and the match is made! The next step is sending that first nerve-racking message that can possibly decide your fate!
