Okay so Bumble is pretty cool because ladies start the conversation first. In a male/male or female/female relationship, the second person to swipe starts the conversation. Either way, the person you're talking to only has 24 hours to respond to you. What do you even say to this stranger? How do you say something memorable enough to get a response? Have no fear, because a list of opening lines is here:
1. This is my opening line: -----
2. Tell me something interesting.
3. Important question: pizza or tacos?
4. You owe me a trip to a ____ and I've come to collect.
An art museum, Target, the movies, the possibilities are endless!
5. Two truths and a lie.
6. Please confirm you are not one of those people that claps when the plane lands and then we can continue.
7. So do you have hobbies besides being hot?
8. I'd say I swiped 75% because you're hot and 25% because the dog is cute.
9. Toilet paper over the top or under the roll?
10. Animal gif.
11. I wish it was 1998 because you should definitely have a HotMale account.
12. Going to Whole Foods, do you need anything?
13. You look like trouble.
14. Breakfast preference: pancakes, waffles, eggs and bacon, or sleeping until lunch?
15. Describe yourself in three emojis.
16. Are they called fireflies or lightning bugs?
17. How was your 2010?
What better way to start a conversation with a stranger than to just relive the past?
18. If you were a bird, whose car would you crap on first?
19. What's your personal record for inhaling a package of Oreos without breathing?
20. Guac or no guac on your burrito?
21. Dinner this week?
22. How about a bad joke?
23. Life or death decision: crunchy or smooth peanut butter?
24. Go out with me if I'm wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?
25. Are you Netflix? Because I could watch you for hours.
26. Are you the square root of -1? Because you cannot be real.
27. Are you my appendix? Because I don't really know how you work but something in my stomach is telling me to take you out.
28. Titanic. That's my icebreaker.
29. You look better than a perfectly glazed toaster strudel.
30. I almost swiped left but I saved myself at the last minute there. Good save.
31. Would you rather fight one horse sized duck or one hundred duck sized horses?
32. Hey, this is your future wife/husband. You should go out with me because you get everything in the divorce.
33. I'm actually a Nigerian Prince and I can make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. I'll just need your phone number to start.
34. Hey, how's it going?
Keep it short and sweet.
Best of luck to you in all your swiping adventures!
