About this episode

On dating apps, first impressions matter.

And after you clear the first hurdle of endless swiping and find someone who piques your interest, it’s often the next step that’s the hardest . . .

That is, of course: What on EARTH do you say to them?!

You scan their bio, hoping inspiration will strike and you’ll manage to figure out the perfect opening gambit. You think:

Would a simple “hey” or “great photo” show a lack of imagination?

I’d like to just be myself, but it can feel so hard to be authentic without seeming too eager . . .

Many times, thoughts like these make us overthink everything to the point where we end up sending something awkward . . . or worse, not sending anything at all, letting the opportunity of connection pass us by.

So how can we make an impression on people who haven’t yet had the chance to meet us and see how awesome we are?

In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you 3 openers you can send right away to stand out on a dating app.
