Opening lines are pretty important on dating apps There are so many fun, creative, and engaging ways to get your foot in the door. Everyone has their own strategy, and it tells a lot about a person. Some people go with a simple salutation as their first message, indicating that they are polite, like to play it safe, and are perhaps a bit boring. Others go with puns and pick-up lines. Some are clever, some are a bit spicy, some are a bit too juvenile, but they all show that the sender is easy going and approachable. It's not uncommon to receive impromptu questions asking about your interests or your opinions. These people want to give the impression that they value your input and are good listeners - not just a fun weekend hook up!
