You have finally got your online profile just right. Your profile picture is perfect and your bio has just the right amount of seriousness and humor. All that is left to do is start swiping. But what happens when you get a match?

Starting the conversation is the next make-it-or-break step on your journey to true love. You might not think it matters much what you say, but the opener is absolutely crucial. Come in too strong and you will likely get blocked. Ask “How is your day?” or drop a simple “Hi” and you probably won’t get a response.

You need to grab your potential date with an opening line that will get their attention and inspire them to continue the conversation. This can be in the form of a funny question or one that delves into who they are. The possibilities are endless.

To help you out, we have come up with 101 of the best online dating conversation starters you can try. Good luck!
