The Best Ways To Break The Ice on Dating Sites

1. Ditch The Age-Old ''Hey''

If you want to avoid awkward silence and really stand out from the competition, let go of cookie-cutter messages like hello and hi. These are boring and well, just not good enough. 

As per the stats, just a casual hey has a pretty average response rate instead of something like ''hey, what's up?''. That said, you should definitely think of better icebreaker questions. 

A potential partner or match is more likely to respond to a message that poses a unique question or talks about possible common ground. This means that you will have to do your research and actually find a hobby or interest that matches and take the conversation from there. 

You could look for your match's favorite movies, music or season to find some meat for the message.

2. Add Something Funny

Humor is one of the best ways to break the ice with someone but you definitely have to think of good humor, you don't want to offend your match! Please also avoid dirty jokes at all costs, it's cheap, desperate, and just comes off in bad taste. 

You also don't need to start with a proper joke, you can just have a funny or a light icebreaker like  

• When you try to message someone and all you can think of to say is "hello", that's an awkward moment.

• My personality is quirky but not too strange. What about you?

• When I saw your profile, I knew I had to quit the mission to find a potential soulmate.

3. Begin with A Compliment 

There's nothing better than flattery when it comes to catching someone's attention. nd if you're messaging someone on a dating application, it's clear that something on their profile was of interest to you. Use that to think of a great compliment!

Keep the compliment short and to the point, don't dilly dally or over-exaggerate as that could seem desperate. 

4. Start With A Question

Is there something you want to know about your potential match? We are sure there is. 

Start off with a cool question, to attempt to get to know him/her a bit better. But don't ask anything too personal. You can start off with something that you saw on their profile, and question them on it. 

Or just start with a question as basic as what you do in your spare time. 

5. Share Something About Yourself

 How would you introduce yourself to someone you have just met? Think of an interesting or fun fact about yourself and shoot that in an icebreaker message to your match!

You can also mix this up with a small question on your match's profile, so you don't seem to be self-obsessed.

1) Don’t Be Afraid Of Sending Your First Message

It may seem like a daunting prospect at first, but once you start sending messages, you will soon realize how easy it really is.

2) Use The Right Words

When writing your first message, make sure to use words that show that you are interested in getting to know this person better. For example: “I would love to meet someone who shares my interests and values.” Or, “Let me learn more about you so I can see if we click.”

3) Make Sure That You Are Using Proper Grammar

If you want to send a good first message, then you need to make sure that you are using proper grammar. This means that you should avoid using slang or colloquialisms. If you do not understand the language, ask someone else to read over your text before hitting Send.

4) Keep It Short & Sweet

You only have 140 characters to work with, so make sure that you keep your message short and sweet. Avoid long paragraphs as well as unnecessary details. Instead, focus on telling your potential match exactly why you think he/she is attractive.

5) Include Some Humor

You never know whether your date will find you funny or not, but a good sense of humor can go a long way toward making you stand out from the crowd. So, include a few jokes in your profile or your initial message.

6) Always Be Polite

This goes without saying, but always remember to be polite. Even if you are having fun and joking around with your date, try to maintain a professional tone. Never forget to thank people for their time and attention. After all, this is just one step towards finding true love.
