Understand Your Match's Profile
Before you even think about sending that first message, take some time to really understand your match's profile. Look for common interests or unique aspects that you can comment on. This shows that you're genuinely interested and not just sending a generic message.1
Keep It Light and Fun
Online dating should be fun, not a chore. Keep the conversation light and playful. Avoid heavy topics in the beginning. Remember, you're just getting to know each other. From my experience, a little humor goes a long way in breaking the ice.
