We already covered how to start conversations on online dating and one of our tips is using ice breakers to start your chat. So, how do you use an ice breaker and what are some good tips about them?
An ice breaker is a way of starting conversations with others. It may be a joke or an interesting topic about anything. Its main purpose is to get the attention of others and delicately force them to reply to you.
1. Use a joke
Jokes are great when you want to get the attention. These jokes are vary from different styles. Sometimes a “knock-knock” joke would be enough to get others to answer to you. Or use a simple joke to make her/him laugh. Sometimes a pick up line may even work. Here are some pick-up lines to get started:
- Apart from being fantastic, what do you do for a living?
- Can I get your picture? I wanna show Santa what I want for Christmas.
- I am not a photographer...but I can picture us together.
- Hey, are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears!
2. Say an interesting fact
Yes, it might not work but this is worth a shot. There are lots of trivia knowledge we may have and it’s good to share them with others. Just choose an interesting subject to give trivial information and wait for the reply.
3. Ask a question
We are all eager to answer questions when they are asked. And interestingly, if we don’t know the answer, we have an urge to reply and know the answer to the question. Better yet, ask your match about personal questions or any other opinion about a simple topic like what do they prefer for the pizza topping.
4. Compliment your match
And finally, you may give others compliments but don’t forget, this is the most common ice breaker type and most of the people online give compliments to others to get their attention. So, save this for an emergency!
That is not all. There are more ice breakers in the world that can help you get a reply from your match. But be original. Being original always gives extra credit on online dating!
