What Makes a Good First Message on Tinder?

When it comes to your first message on Tinder, the best are short, sweet, and show that you have a sense of humor. 

It’s hard to show your personality in a first message, but it’s easier to find a connection if you ask questions that your match will need to answer about themselves and their life.

This could be anything! Just give them a reason to respond and talk to you, as you would in a normal face-to-face conversation.

Some examples could include:

  • Complimenting them on their photos
  • Sending a meme or GIF
  • Telling them a joke that will need a response
  • Asking them something about their city or town
  • Asking them about their job or work.

 

The best first message will depend on everyone’s individual circumstances, so be sure to pay extra attention to their profile and bio and don’t just send a generic message.
