The key to getting the responses – and the most difficult part of online dating – is having an awesome opener.
• Tired of sending dozens of messages on Tinder, Bumble, or Eharmony without receiving a single reply?
• Have no idea what kind of first messages girls like?

You can use these unique dating messages on any dating website or app you choose – Tinder, POF, OkCupid, Match and etc.

Examples of Dating Messages, Openers, and Conversation Starters
1. Hey Kate! Nice weather we are having lately. I took a peek at your bio and you caught my interest!
So a bit about myself – I work full-time as a firefighter. I really like my job and I always feel fulfilled when my day is done.
When I am not fighting fires I like to ride my bike or just hang out with my friends on a patio. I am also really into hiking; I think it’s a great way to stay in shape and get tan.
Send me a message sometime!
2. Hi there! I know you’re a little bit older than I am, but your “about me” was just so breathtakingly beautiful, that I think I’ve fallen madly in love. How are you?
3. You have gorgeous hair! I’m kind of a sucker for long blonde hair and a gorgeous smile!
Anyways I’m on here to hopefully find a solid relationship that will last.
I work very hard to be where I am and I do have to focus a lot on work. But when you work hard to be in a place where you can say you’re happy, you tend to find missing things in your life and when you are alone time seems to take forever to go by.
I guess what I am saying is during the times I’m alone I’d like to have someone there by my side to just share stories with, watch movies, and laugh or hide when a scary movie is on.
What is your story? Why did you decide to join this dating website?
4. Hi there, I just logged into my account and noticed that you are online and wanted to say that you look very photogenic in your photos.
I realize that you probably receive dozens of messages from guys, who are only interested in one thing. So if you are looking for a guy who wants a relationship, don’t be shy to write back!
5. Hi Jane, my name is Mike, how are things? I’ve never golfed, but I’ve always really wanted to try it! Would you give me a lesson someday?
6. Hey, I’m Bob, how’s it going?
You seem like a fun and outgoing girl – not to mention you look very adorable in your photos.
A quick intro about myself – I’m currently working in SFO as a software engineer, I have a one-year-old poodle pup, and love sports and electronic music.
Anyways take a look at my profile and if you’re interested send me a message and we’ll take it from there.
7. Hey Kate, my name is Jake. I am 23 and live in Toronto. I am really into sports, especially hockey, and I also enjoy hiking during the summer. What are you studying?
8. Hey how is it going? I am a big fan of hockey as well, did you ever play it professionally?
I started skating when I was four years old. I play, coach, and watch it!
How is your day going?
9. Hi Louise, I read your profile and you seem to be very friendly and ambitious!
I’m really into sports as well and soccer is my favorite! I am currently a student in college studying engineering.
Where do you study nursing?
10. Hey, I’m Logan! You’ve got a very pretty smile and you seem to be a very smart and friendly girl.
I love to travel but I don’t do it enough. I hope to do it much more in the future when I finish my studies.
Obviously, I’m a huge sports fan as well hahaha.
Who’s your favorite hockey player?

11. Hey Anna, I am a little shocked to see someone as pretty as you are on here, I’m sure your inbox is pretty full.
How’s it going so far today? I am Jake btw!
12. Hey! I think life is all about sharing stories together, about actually living stories instead of just reading about them in books or watching them on screens.
You seem like an interesting person worth getting to know. I’m sure you get tons of messages on here, but I’d love to learn more about you and see if we can write at least a few pages of a good story together.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
13. Hi Ashley, how are you today? I am Nate!
I found your profile impressive and would love to get to know you better. I am looking to meet someone nice and interesting like you!
I love to travel, work out, watch movies, play sports, and spend time outdoors! I travel a lot and travel a lot for work and pleasure!
I was in Paris this past summer. Have you been to Europe? How is this site treating you?
14. Hey, how is it going Annie? You have incredible eyes and a smile. Seriously don’t mean that as a pickup line, just being honest.
15. You are so pretty! When are you dropping out of school to start your modeling career?
That was lame – I honestly just wanted to compliment you. I am Bob, how are you?
16. Hey Kate, what compelled such a pretty lady like you to join this site full of randy middle-aged men and teens? Surely you have no problem getting guys?
17. I don’t mean to sound cheesy but your eyes can steal someone’s heart!
Here is a little info about me – I am really into sports, when I was younger I always wanted to be a pro wrestler so I did some gymnastics back then as well and played soccer for years.
If you are interested, let me know and maybe we can go out sometime or just hang out so we can get to know each other better.
If you rather get to know each other over messages or texting first I am fine with it too, if it will make you more comfortable, whatever makes that beautiful smile of yours come out!
18. Hi! I saw your profile and I would love to chat and get to know each other.
You seem like a fun, intelligent, beautiful woman. I want to find a girl that I can have a long-term relationship with but am also willing to take things slow and see if we really connect.
I recently graduated from college but I am still looking to find an opening in my field, I read whenever I have free time, hang out with a few close friends and I love to watch and play sports.
Not sure what else I should say without ruining everything about me for you, but if I’ve caught your interest at all I’d love to hear from you!
19. Personality comes before looks or looks before personality? What do you think?
20. Hey how’s it going? So I have seen you on my “my matches” section a couple of times so I thought I would send you a message to see what this website sees that I can’t just from looking at your profile. Obviously, you are attractive, but I’m looking for more than just physical attraction.
21. Hey, how are you?
So about me, I’m not photogenic and I hate it.
I’m really into sports – I played hockey and baseball as a kid. I also love snowboarding and wakeboarding.
As for personality, I would think I’m funny, always trying to make people laugh even if it embarrasses me (hard to do though).
Anyways if you want to chat, don’t be shy to write back!
22. Hi, my name is James! Wanted to tell you that you have pretty eyes, but once I saw your profile I noticed we have a few things in common. How is your day going?
24. Hey! My name is Mike. Just from reading your profile, it looks like we have a lot in common!
I guess I will start with being well educated, as I do have a degree in business. While I was attending university I was really involved ( I’m a bit of a nerd) and after graduation, I was offered a job so I’m currently working in admissions.
I can’t express enough that I’m a huge sports fan. I love to watch and go to as many games as I can.
I don’t get out much to socialize because of work but when I do, I’m more of a nice seating cozy setting bar/pub kind of guy. I guess that also answers why I’m on here lol, but anyway I hope you like what you see and maybe we can talk sometime.
25. Hey wow you are absolutely the most beautiful girl I’ve seen. And from your profile, you seem very genuine and down to earth.
Most girls here just go on about partying and drinking but you seem very mature. How is your day going?

I am a great guy with a lot to offer, the type of guy who will bring you to amazing places, show you fascinating new things, teach you a ridiculous amount about nature, and always keep you smiling.
Anyways I’ll keep this short, I would love to chat and get to know you, let me know if you’re interested.
