You know the old saying; first impressions are the most lasting. In Online Dating, more specifically Waplog, there is this first rule: You need to get the attention of your match with your first or second message! This will be your first impression of your match and it may leave quite a mark in your conversations. So, how do you start your conversations? We may have some ideas and suggestions for you!
1. Make a Joke
Jokes are great ice breakers, aren’t they? You can use them wherever you are. Whether you are at a party or a company of friends, jokes are a great way to start conversations. So, go ahead make a joke, tell your match a funny, short joke or a story. Laughs are definitely the best glue for two people.
2. Ask a Question
Well, you may want to get to know your match and want to talk to her/him about personal details. So, ask your match personal, detailed questions. For example, animals are great for an ice breaker subject. Ask her/him whether he/she owns a cat or dog or fish or any other animal. You should know that animals are great at bonding two different people to each other, too.
3. Use Shared Interests
In Online Dating, there is a profile of a user. This lovebird, puts his/her interests, likes, hobbies, and other stuff into this profile so that others know her/him before they even talk. So, check your match’s profile first and find a shared interest. Start your conversation by using this information.
4. Force your match to think
Let’s mix the 3 suggestions before, shall we? First, check your match’s profile and try to find a shared interest, then make a joke about this topic and send your match in a question form. It might be even a “knock-knock” joke. If this is sincere and indicates effort, you will probably get a quicker reply.
5. ...Or be direct?
Sometimes the best method is being direct about your intentions. However, this is the least favorable way to start a conversation with your match. You may sound boring and they may not reply to you. You can still be direct but add some flavor to it! Use common interests, make jokes and end your message with a question!
Of course, these are not the guaranteed methods to start conversations but you can always give it a shot, right? Don’t forget, Waplog is the fastest growing social network with over 30 million users. There is someone out there who find your jokes funny, your questions worthy, and your interests cute!
