If you\u2019re tired of the same old \u201cHey, what\u2019s up?\u201d or \u201cHow\u2019s your day going?\u201d message, then you\u2019re in the right place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hinge is a dating app that\u2019s all about finding meaningful connections, so your conversation starters should reflect that. And with so many people using dating apps<\/a>, it can be tough to stand out and get someone\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put together a list of creative and engaging conversation starters<\/a> that you can use on Hinge. These starters are designed to get you to know the person behind a profile and find out if there\u2019s a connection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, note that you don\u2019t have to use the specific wording I used in these lines. They\u2019re more for inspiration than for emulation. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

1. \u201cI saw that you\u2019re into hiking (or any hobby). What\u2019s your favorite trail you\u2019ve been on?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hiking is such a visual and adventurous activity, so asking about a specific trail can lead to some pretty amazing stories and memories.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Who knows, maybe you\u2019ll even find out about a trail you\u2019ve never heard of before and can add it to your bucket list.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Starting with something specific and personalized like this is a great way to get the conversation flowing and show that you\u2019re paying attention to their profile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, this line depends on the specific passion the person is into. And your question will also reflect whether or not you\u2019re truly into that passion. It\u2019s a rule of thumb to always stick to a passion you\u2019re also interested in. If you\u2019re not interested, then don\u2019t ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. \u201cYour dog is so cute! What\u2019s his\/her name?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You know what they say, dogs are a man\u2019s (or woman\u2019s) best friend! And as a dog lover myself, I can attest to that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, when I see a cute pup on someone\u2019s Hinge profile, it\u2019s a no-brainer to use it as a conversation starter. After all, who doesn\u2019t love talking about their furry best friend?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By asking about their dog\u2019s name, you\u2019re showing that you took the time to look at their profile and that you\u2019re genuinely interested<\/a> in getting to know them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great icebreaker that can lead to a fun and lighthearted conversation about all things canine. You can chat about your pets, share stories about funny things your dogs have done, and even bond over your shared love for all things furry.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cLooks like we both love Thai food (or any food). What\u2019s your go-to dish when you order in?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you and your match both love Thai cuisine (or any food at all), then use it as a conversation starter. It\u2019s a great way to start talking about something you both have in common and get the conversation flowing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Think about it \u2013 who doesn\u2019t love talking about their favorite foods? It\u2019s a universally relatable topic and can lead to a fun and lighthearted conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, by asking about their go-to dish when they order in, you can get a sense of their tastes and preferences. Maybe you\u2019ll even discover a new dish you both want to try.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cI noticed that you\u2019re into [common interest]. What made you get into it?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

\u201cHey there! So, I couldn\u2019t help but notice that you\u2019re into [common interest]. That\u2019s really cool! I\u2019m always interested in learning about why people are passionate about certain things.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For me, it\u2019s like unlocking a piece of the puzzle that makes up who they are.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, I was wondering, what made you get into [common interest] in the first place? Was it a defining moment or just something that gradually grew on you? I\u2019d love to hear all about it!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When you ask about someone\u2019s interests, you draw them in. You\u2019re showing that you\u2019re genuinely interested in getting to know them better.\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. \u201cYour profile picture looks like you\u2019re having a lot of fun. What\u2019s the story behind it?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Starting with a compliment is always a good way to grab someone\u2019s attention and put them at ease, and what\u2019s not to love about a profile picture that looks like pure joy?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plus, asking about the story behind it gives the other person an opportunity to share something personal and interesting about themselves. It opens the door to a fun and lighthearted conversation, and who knows, maybe you\u2019ll even learn something new.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It also gives you a glimpse into their personality and what they find enjoyable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. \u201cI see that you\u2019ve been to [insert location here]. I went there a few years ago and it was amazing! What was your favorite part?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you meet someone who has also been to a place that you love, you instantly feel a bond. You can compare notes, share your favorite parts, and reminisce about the wonderful experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Besides, asking about someone\u2019s travel experience not only shows that you took the time to look at their profile, but also opens up the opportunity to talk about that shared experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This can lead to a fun and natural conversation about travel, memories, and the joys of exploring new places.<\/p>\n

7. \u201cHi! I\u2019m a big fan of [shared interest]. Have you seen any good [related movies, books, shows, etc.] lately?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s an example of how this could go:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHey there! So, I was taking a look at your profile and noticed that you\u2019re a big fan of [shared interest]. That\u2019s so cool, it\u2019s always great to find someone who loves the same things as you.<\/p>\n

So, I was wondering, have you seen any good [related movie, book, show, etc.] lately? It\u2019s always great to hear about new and exciting things in that area, and maybe we can even share some recommendations!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Starting a conversation around a shared interest is a great way to break the ice. Why?<\/p>\n

We all love to talk about things we like to do. Plus, it can lead to some lively and engaging conversations about the things we\u2019re both passionate about. So why not give it a try?\u201d<\/p>\n

8. \u201cWao! I see you recently ran a half marathon. That\u2019s such a huge accomplishment! What was the experience like?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This could be any accomplishment \u2013 marathon, modeling, acting, singing, graduation, etc.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Running a half marathon \u2013 or any type of achievement at all \u2013 is no small feat! I bet the sense of accomplishment must have been amazing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, I think this could be a great conversation starter on Hinge because it shows that you are interested in the other person\u2019s interests and experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We all love talking about something we\u2019re proud of.<\/p>\n

Asking about the experience of running the half marathon also opens up the possibility for a more in-depth conversation about fitness, goals, and personal growth. If you both love running or exercising in general, you can bond over it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

9. \u201cI love your style\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Of course, you might want to give a little bit of detail about the specific thing you like about the person\u2019s style. Or, they might just ask you as a follow-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the bottom line is, everyone loves a compliment, especially when they\u2019re genuine. And for a long time, compliments have been one of the best ways to break the ice with strangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Telling someone you love their style \u2013 or anything they appear to be into like art, photography, etc \u2013 is a great way to start a conversation on a positive note and make them feel good about themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And when people feel good, they\u2019re more likely to be open and engaging in conversation, which can lead to a great connection!<\/p>\n

10. \u201cYour photos look like you have a great sense of adventure. What\u2019s the most exciting thing you\u2019ve done recently?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

\u201cBased on your profile photos, it looks like you\u2019ve got some pretty amazing adventures under your belt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m all about living life to the fullest and trying new things, so I was intrigued. I was wondering\u2026 what\u2019s the most exciting thing you\u2019ve done lately? I\u2019d love to hear about it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is such a great conversation starter because it shows that you\u2019re interested in the other person\u2019s experiences. And who doesn\u2019t love to talk about exciting things they\u2019ve done? I think it\u2019s a great way to kick off a conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a win-win for you. You get to learn about them, and they get to share something they\u2019re proud of.<\/p>\n

11. \u201cI noticed that you\u2019re a graphic designer. What kind of projects do you enjoy working on the most?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so cool to see someone\u2019s creative side on their Hinge profile. And you being a graphic designer just caught my eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have a big appreciation for graphic design, and I think it\u2019s so fascinating how you can bring a brand\u2019s vision to life through your designs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I was curious, what kind of projects do you enjoy working on the most? Are you more into designing logos or creating graphics for social media? I bet you have some amazing stories to tell about the projects you\u2019ve worked on!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And there you go! Do you see how cool that is?\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

12. \u201cI know we just met, but I must confess I\u2019m impressed with your fashion sense.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a bold move to mention being impressed so soon after matching, but sometimes taking a risk can pay off in the world of dating. But this line can lead to a fun conversation about fashion, what they like to wear, and where they find inspiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When you see someone\u2019s profile and they catch your eye with their fantastic fashion sense, let them know. Starting a conversation with a compliment, as you know, is always a great way to get the ball rolling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

5 Quick Tips for Starting the Best Hinge Conversations\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The conversation starters I\u2019ve given you in this article all follow a blueprint. And if you understand this blueprint, you can get creative with your style and have the best conversations. Here you go:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Look for common interests<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the easiest ways to start a conversation is by mentioning something you both have in common. Whether it\u2019s a shared love of a certain hobby, type of food, or place, using this as a jumping-off point can make for a natural and engaging conversation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ask open-ended questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Avoid yes or no questions and opt for open-ended questions that allow the other person to share more about themselves. For example, instead of asking \u201cDo you like to travel?\u201d try asking \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite place you\u2019ve traveled to?\u201d<\/p>\n

Compliment something unique about their profile<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you notice something specific about their profile that catches your eye, mention it! Whether it\u2019s a unique photo, a creative bio, or a fun fact, starting the conversation with a compliment can set a positive tone and make the other person feel good.<\/p>\n

Be curious<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ask questions that show you\u2019re genuinely interested in getting to know the person. Avoid asking questions that are too personal too soon, but don\u2019t be afraid to ask follow-up questions to keep the conversation flowing.<\/p>\n

Keep it light and fun<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Remember, this is just the beginning of the conversation and you want to keep things light and enjoyable. Avoid heavy topics and controversial subjects, and aim to keep the tone friendly and upbeat.<\/p>\n
