Initiating conversation on an online dating platform can feel intimidating for both men and women. Despite presenting an up-to-date profile with a recent photo and accurate details, it's disheartening to have your initial messages go unnoticed. Often, the culprit lies in the content of your message. Sending a generic "Hi," "Hello," or "Hey" or an emoticon can make the recipient feel undervalued, leading to immediate disinterest. Therefore, it's important to compose messages that is both engaging and personalized.

Here are 3 text/ chat starters to consider for your 1st chat:

1.     "Hello [Name], I came across your profile and was intrigued by [specific detail or interest]. I'd love to learn more about it. Here's a bit about myself [share a brief introduction]."

2.     "I'd like to get to know you better. Can you tell me a bit about yourself and what gets you going as you start your day?” Here is a little about me (Share about what gets you going as you start your day)

3.     "I noticed we share the same hobby. I'm curious, how did you get interested in it? Here's what got me interested in it [share your experience]."

Personalizing your message demonstrates genuine interest and increases the likelihood of a response. Remember to keep it conversational, friendly, and respectful.

Happy connecting.
