Tinder Wordsmiths You’ll Be Happy You Swiped Right On
Dating in the 21st century is no easy feat, especially if you're trying to find a connection online. It can be hard to connect with someone when you've never seen them and you've only got your five best photos and a witty pickup line to rely on.
While you may struggle, though, there are some who succeed. We're talking about those who have honed their craft and become the ultimate wordsmiths, creating pickup lines so good you can't not smile.
We'd Respond To That
As far as pickup lines go, this one was pretty good.
It would be hard to be upset over someone sending you an emoji line of moving trucks.
His Bio Said "Men Are Trash"
If you struggle with pickup lines, set yourself up with an automatic opener like this guy did.
He told you ahead of time that men are trash and then he used it to his advantage.
Clearly He's Doing Something Right
You wouldn't have thought that "hey want to get a matching tattoo?" would be an effective opener on a dating app.
But miracles happen every day, and this guy proved us all wrong.
Kindergarten Sweethearts
Making assumptions about someone based on their pictures doesn't always end well, and usually, you don't want to hear the assumptions people make about you.
In this case, it was worth it.
Game, Set, Match
You thought you would be the only one bringing your A-game to this conversation.
But, she was ready with her text flirting and she knocked it out of the park.
Credit For Creativity
This girl was ready for a cheesy, overused pickup line, but instead, she got a new variation and she had to be pleasantly surprised.
So there's no complaints from her.
This Is The Kind Of Magic We're Interested In
If he has a photo of his cute labrador to back that joke up, he's practically guaranteed to get at least a first date.
Then he can woo his new girlfriend by pulling a rabbit out of a hat or something as a follow-up.
Can Cheri's Grandfather Help Us Too?
Okay, look, Cheri might not be a great flirter or have had any success on dating apps, but Cheri's grandfather? He's killing the game.
There's no way he's not going to find Cheri a nice boy.
50% Is Still A Passing Grade
It wasn't the perfect score you were aiming for, but 1/2 means you still passed the test.
She responded to both, so you still have the opportunity to redeem yourself!
Make A Wish
This one takes some strategy if you're going to be able to execute it properly, which clearly this person was able to do.
The extra effort is always going to be appreciated.
Change Of Plans
You've already secured the first date, but why not turn it into an event you'd actually spend your time doing if you were a couple?
We love a realistic man who has his priorities in order.
Lead With Your Strengths
When it comes to dating apps, you have to play up your good qualities right away before the person loses interest.
So why not lead with it right out of the gate?
Aim Low To Avoid Disappointment
After being on dating apps for a long time without finding your Tinderella or Prince Charming, you learn that you need to lower your standards.
Grace is simply aiming for a boy who can read, which we appreciate.
We'd Pick The Duck-Sized Horses Too
Why settle for one opener when you can use two?
If you're going to use an opener like this man did, then you have to be able to follow up no matter how she responds, and he killed it.
We Want Her To Be A Constance In Our Life
She's already complimenting you and motivating you to be the best version of yourself before you've even started the conversation—how could you not swipe right?
You have to find out what other words of wisdom Constance has for you!
Respect The Hustle
We all know that half the reason (or more than half the reason) you swiped right on him was because you saw his cute dog.
David is ready to use that to his advantage.
Give Me Some Fin
You'd think that someone who's named after a city would be bombarded with jokes about that city or references to landmarks.
Sometimes it just works out that you're the first.
Now You've Upset Her And She Wants To Talk To Your Manager
Unfortunately, when it comes to online dating, you might bring your A-game, but not everybody wants an A, so you strike out.
If we were Karen, this would've worked for sure.
This Player Doesn't Play With Your Feelings
The fact that this girl gave such a nice, wholesome response almost makes us want to add her on Snap or try to continue the conversation.
Almost, but not quite.
Good Vibes All Around
There's a lot of weird bios and opening lines on dating apps, so someone having a bio like this one is always a breath of fresh air for anyone swiping through.
She's probably found some success with it too.
What A Delightful Coincidence!
Not only did this guy deliver an incredibly funny and wholesome pickup line, but she also happened to actually come from a family of bakers.
What are the odds of that?
Why Waste Time Saying Lot Words When Few Words Do Trick?
I understand barely anything about this conversation, but that's okay, because the important thing is that it ended in a date between the two of them.
Less really is more sometimes.
I've Never Heard Chess Sound So Hot
When I think of chess, I don't normally think of romance or being slick at all.
In fact, some might say it's the least sexy game of all time, and still, this guy made it work in his favor.
Give This Guy A Gold Star
On dating apps, men often don't even need basic prompting in order to dive into being gross and sexual, yet this guy had every opportunity to do it and still decided to take the cute route.
Good for him.
She Had A Photo Of Her In A Soccer Uniform
You know, the classic "keeper" joke has been used thousands of times, but it still remains adorable.
Props to this guy for even taking it a step further—or should I say, "forward"?
This Is Was So Smooth, OMG
When it comes to striking up conversations on a dating app, most people's first instinct isn't to bring up dried fruit.
However, this guy really did the most by turning a raisin into a date.
Dirty, But Charming
One caveat to being a gross horn dog on a dating app is to somehow still be cute with it.
Nothing like a little wordplay to sneak your way into a woman's heart.
Appreciating Curves With A Current Approach
Considering the sheer number of unimaginative "quarantine and chill" messages I got when the pandemic originally broke out.
I have to give props to this man for making an effective virus joke.
Academics Always Come First
I've got to give respect to this person who realized that it would be inappropriate to try and date someone much younger than them but still offered to help them out.
Good vibes all around.
Jacob Is A Whole Mood
You know what?
A lot of people like to pretend they're cool and fun on their dating apps and end up exaggerating, so I have to respect Jacob's decision to simply tell it as it is.
Childhood Trauma Is Always A Good Bonding Moment
Childhood trauma may seem like something serious to get into with your Tinder match, but it's a great way to find some common ground.
You never know what kind of mutual trauma you'll discover.
Appealing To The History Buff
It seems like we've discovered a mutual interest here.
We don't want to be Russian to a conclusion, but maybe Tinder actually is a place that people can successfully find love.
Get Your Grains
It's recommended that we have at least six servings of grains on a daily basis, and they've already got five covered in this conversation!
What else is left for them to work into the conversation?
"She Unmatched Me Pretty Quick"
We also happened to think that this pun was dinamite! It's too bad they wasted this kind of great humor on someone that doesn't appreciate it properly...
Maybe another Dina will like it.
You'd Think Everyone Would Make These Jokes
She may not have appreciated his attempts, but we thought they were kind of clever.
She also clearly isn't a real Alexa or she'd know that "Drinking Alone" is scheduled for Fridays, not Saturdays.
Now This Is Impressive
While some people have easy names to make puns out of, we never would have listed "Mehvish" as a possibility for a pun.
The man's got quick wit. Why not give him a shot?
You Gotta Be Able To Think On Your Feet
If you really want to be able to impress your Tinder match, it's about how you respond to them, not what you open with.
Being able to think on your feet like this man is how you'll get her phone number or a first date.
She Fell For It, Hook Line & Sinker
We thought that a line like this one was pretty overused after all the time, but apparently not!
It worked on this girl. Maybe it'll work on other matches, too, if this one falls through.
Give Her A Hand For Her Creativity
She may have had to type her bio with one hand, but that doesn't mean it's not as good as everyone else's.
We'd argue that hers is better than most people's, in fact.
He's A Poet, And He Knows It
Melanie better answer him, because any man willing to write a poem based around your name (that isn't a dirty limerick) deserves the acknowledgment.
Maybe he'll even bring along a melon to sweeten the deal.
