The art of using pick-up lines is different online compared to when you’re looking to connect in person. The absence of face-to-face interaction brings a whole new set of challenges that you have to overcome to achieve success in your endeavor. If you’re on Tinder and you want to improve your success, this article will help you. We will not only give you a list of pick up lines that work well on Tinder, but we will also explain why they do and how you can finally build your own opening lines to separate yourself from the copy-paste guys.
How Pick-Up Lines Differ Online
Generally speaking, pick-up lines used on Tinder are unlike those used when communicating in person. These are the differences:
Different visual cues – Many standard pick-up lines won’t cut it on Tinder because their effectiveness heavily relies on presentation, which includes body language and the speaker’s tone of voice. These cannot be utilized online, so pick-up lines on Tinder use other non-verbal, visual cues like emojis and Internet slang to convey emotion.
More content-dependent – Given the point above, it’s but natural that online pick-up lines place emphasis on content. They are more thought-out and have better flow than their offline counterparts.
Less informative – There’s a lot you can tell about someone using pick-up lines in person by looking at the words they use and their delivery and mannerisms. You won’t be able to get as much information online because their pick-up line is all you get. If you respond relies on how much you like that conversation opener.
What Types of Pick-Up Lines Work Best on Tinder?
As mentioned earlier, the virtual dating scene is a different ballgame. It would help if you changed the way you choose pick-up lines to use on Tinder because the ones that worked for you in person won’t be effective online. You are no longer auditioning with your opening line. A person’s first impression of you is based on your profile, so when you match with someone, they are already interested. When using a pick-up line, your goal is to start a conversation that you can transition into an actual date or a face-to-face meeting.
Here are several types of pick-up lines that will increase your chances of getting a response from, and keeping the interest of, your Tinder match:
Flirty banter – Showcase your charm and wit by engaging your match in a back-and-forth. The key here is to keep things light – make sure they are enjoying the exchange – so that you don’t lose their interest, and you can end the banter with a date.
Nerdy lines – You can’t go wrong with lines that reference your match’s work or what they study. At the very least, they’ll know that you took note of what they’ve written in their profile.
Game vibes – People are on Tinder to have fun. Use this to your advantage by playing a game with your match. A couple of rounds of funny questions and answers are a great icebreaker that will have you scheduling a meet-up with them in no time.
“Ball in their court” line – If you’re confident and creative enough, have them give you something to work into a pick-up line. You can set limits so you can prepare as much as you can beforehand. Although risky, if you pull it off, it’s highly likely you have them hooked because of your wit.
Roleplay – We’re not talking about hardcore roleplaying here (although you can do that, too, if your match is into it) – just a funny line or two that has you pretending to be someone or something else. You can be a waiter to be “of service,” for instance, or go the corny route and be an earthquake to “rock their world.”
Cute conversation starters – There are many ways to act cute on Tinder, but you don’t need to come up with anything else if you have a pet. Something as simple as a picture of your dog with a “hi” caption can get the ball rolling.
