Getting a notification that someone has sent you a message on Tinder is like getting a birthday package from your grandma in the mail: you were sort of expecting something but have no idea if the box’s contents are good or bad. Luckily, there are only a finite ways to begin a conversation with a complete stranger so you can expect one of the following starting off points. Also luckily, there’s always the unmatch option.
1. “Hey,” “Hi,” “Hello”
2. Cheesy Pick Up Line
3. Drunk Message
4. Inappropriate Sex Question
5. Compliment
6. Ridiculous Question
7. Legitimate Conversation Starter
