If you have been following me on Instagram, you know Iβve decided send a pickup line or pun to my tinder matches as a conversation starter! I just googled or came up with some funny pickup line or a pun and just sent them! Donβt worry guys, I kept it PG13β¦ at least on Instagram! Iβm posting here some conversation that werenβt so PG13 ;). Anyways,Β what started as fun as just fun made me realize a lot of thingsβ¦ But before that, just take a look at this screenshots!

Okay, Iβm not going to post all the screenshots on here, because they are more than 10. BUT, if you wanna see all of them, you should definitely head to my Instagram and theyβre in my TinderU highlight!
And now the not so PG13 onesβ¦ I didnβt post these ones on my Instagram so theyβre exclusive for you guys!
Takeaway
I donβt know about you, but I normally just swipe on tinder, I donβt message my tinder matches if they donβt message me first and even if they do I normally never reply. I guess Iβm on tinder more for just the fun of swiping than for actually getting to know someone and meeting them. So yeah, I decided to do this as a sort of project to see what would happen if I started off the conversation with a pickup line.
This is something Iβve never done before. So, this felt definitely different. I have to admit it was a little nerve-wracking at first. And I felt that starting the conversation with a pickup line was basically exposing myself to rejection and being made fun of. Even though I got nervous the first time, it was definitely a lot of fun. Actually, I wasnβt (directly) rejected. Some guys never replied but thatβs okay! The ones that did, were flattered and it definitely lead to a more fun conversation.
After seeing what these guys replied, I definitely feel more confident. Not that I was self conscious or insecure before, but as I said before I was just nervous. Putting myself out there like that and seeing that these guys were interested, spiked my confidence! I was talking to them like I talked to friends Iβve known for a while. It was so much fun and I think I might be sending some opening lines like that more often.
I feel like (most of) us, girls, tend to wait for the guys to send us the first message, or ask us out first, or just make the first step, but we should start the conversation or ask them out first more often. I also noticed that the guys were a 100% more interested in talking to me when I started off the conversation with a pickup-line. Most of the guys I talked to told me a girl never sent them a pickup line beforeβ¦ Β So, yeah thereβs that!
So, keep this in mind next time you match with someone on Tinder! Start off the conversation with something more interesting that just hey and put yourself out there and have fun!
