Thanks to dating apps, you no longer have to walk up to a total stranger and try to strike up a conversation in person. But you still have to have some sort of opening line to kick off an interaction and “hi” isn’t going to cut it. Whether you’re on Hinge, Bumble, or Her, having a few funny dating app openers in your back pocket is a great way to get the conversation going.

If your match is receptive, you’ll know you at least have a great sense of humor in common. Just wait for a few more exchanges before inviting them to your improv show.

To help you with the perfect opener, we compiled a whole list of flirty and fun ideas for you to try. Some are punny, some are cheesy, and they’re all way better than sending an unsolicited photo. Unless said photo is of your cat. Then, by all means, give Mr. Fluffybubbles more time in the spotlight.
