Advice for Tinder Pickup Lines

Still having trouble finding a pickup line that feels "right"? Here are our best tips for writing a dating app opening line.

• Ask a question inspired by their profile. If they say they love podcasts, ask if they have any recs and mention your favorite podcasts. If they are a runner, ask if they are training for any upcoming races.
• Mention things you have in common. Did you go to the same university? Ask them what they studied, their favorite dining hall on campus or if they were part of any extracurriculars.
• If you use a generic question, add their name and customize it to make it your own. Instead of just asking if they had a good weekend, try "What was the most exciting thing you did over the weekend?"
• Ask open-ended questions that can get a natural conversation flowing.
• Don't worry about crafting the "perfect" dating app pickup line. Be yourself.
