Best Tinder Pickuplines We Noticed This Week
Welcome to this week's selection of the best Tinder pickuplines and Bumble banter we stumbled across this week.
A funny Tinder bio is hard to come by. Even harder is finding ways to keep knocking it out of the park during a conversation.
Even the best Tinder bios can easily fall short when it comes to ongoing witty dialogue, especially when you’re only just starting your online dating journey, but how do you remedy this?
We’ve had a look at some of the online dating profiles and conversations on Tinder and Bumble and Hinge that kept us entertained and thought it would be a good idea to share some of the best ones.
We will add a new selection regularly so pop back and giggle with us whenever you can.
What is the best line to use on Tinder?
Terrible question, there is no best line - use their pictures, personalise and be self deprecating, that’s all you need. If you try too hard you're just going to set off red flag after red flag.
Accept the self aware cheesiness of it all and you might even end up having some fun. Keep your bullet proof vest on and brush off all the people that will turn their nose up at you.
Since you already have your swanky new photos from your pro photography session the convo is all that’s left to perfect. But this will likely involve plenty of screwing up first.
The following examples are not there to provide text for you to copy and paste, but rather to give you something to tweak and draw from when you’re stuck on what to say.
#Crack a convo open
“Stop and think for a second about what we could be, I’m cute and hard to catch, most that meet me almost immediately refer to me as catfish”
#Show ultra confidence
“Trying not to be too pushy or clingy, but we already have appointments together! My aunt’s wedding on Thursday, you’re having the beef wellington”
#Things just aren’t going well?
“None of my antics seem to be working on you, u haven’t unmatched though, hopefully I’m wearing you down?”
What does not make a good pickup line?
We previously went into detail about some of the things you don’t want to include in a bio on a dating app and highlighted some of the things that can put people off in a flash.
Repeating a mistake is the enemy here, once you get blasted for something you thought was clever - it’s time to retire it.
If you are new to the dating scene and the zingers aren’t coming to you then you’ll be relieved to know that you will likely avoid coming across as massively arrogant at the start, which can discourage people from using apps altogether.
Stick to politeness until you are comfortable enough to be a bit more playful and cheeky.
How do you break ice on Tinder?
“I have no problem breaking the ice, since i’m so warm and cuddly”
The trick is to personalise the things you say so that they know they are the first ones to read it, mould them into your own perfect sculptures and test them out.
You should be operating on a ratio of 90% super nice and 10% unpredictable and cheeky, this could lift you out of the crowd and give you a boost in the sea of dull and repetitive questions that daters typically need to start a conversation with.
#Being cheeky
“Honestly have no problem with you eye-groping me back, our scores are currently at like 17/0?”
#Playing with cringe
“I’m not weird, I’m not clingy, even if you Netflix cheated on me it’s okay, tricky to see the screen from out here though, nudge the TV to the left?”
And if it all comes crashing down?
We already know there are plenty of ways to screw up a date, if you’re talking to a person whose cheese tolerance is kinda low then it’s time to back off. Otherwise you won’t even make it to the date stage.
It’s all about balance, show that you have multiple sides to your personality so that the humorous nature is not your only trump card.
Patients is another thing, you won’t nail it every time, but you will be honing it every time to make sure you’re remembering where the line is and how to cross it.
Your professional dating photos must have already gained some interest if you are at the chatting stage so ease up and see what works.
Conclusion
The most successful ones leave the cockyness at home. There’s no chat up line that works for everyone and there's no sure fire recipe for every situation. Be friendly, authentic and considerate.
After putting your own spin on things maybe you’ll have something to melt your co swiper, and if you do, never share it 🙂
What’s your star sign? Where are you from? How was your day? Yes, the lifespan of these questions is wearing thin, breathe some life in your responses so you don’t get left behind.
If it starts to get too intense it’s time to take the foot off the gas and act like you would if they were standing in front of you, that’s right, but less sweaty.
