You never know if someone on a dating app is going to message you back. But there are some opening lines that will make you stand out and catch their attention.

Instead of sending a “hey,” “what’s up” or “how are you,” try one of these opener ideas instead. They’re more likely to get you an answer and help get you one step further to that IRL meet-up.

1. Pull something personal from their profile and use that.
2. Send a compliment.
3. “If you had to hit me with the opening line, what would it be?”
4. “Let’s play a game.”
5. Send a gif.
6. “What’s your favorite…”
7. “What was the highlight of your week/weekend?”
8. Match your own personality.
9. Ask them what they want.
