Hinge Opening Lines

We are going through a period where technological developments integrate a new tool into our lives every day. How we spend our day, how we cook, and our activities are changing greatly. And of course our dating practices!

With the introduction of dating applications into our lives, our way of dating has completely transformed. This shows that even the ways we met throughout history have become completely different!

Dating apps had 337 million users in 2022. This means users have more options than ever before. So, to stand out from the crowd and attract attention, you have to do more than just a casual hello.

It is now considered a rule for flirting to make a good impression and attract the other person’s attention with a perfect opening line instead of a simple ‘sup’ or ‘fire emoji’. You can stand out from the crowd by taking a look at the 50 Opening Lines we have prepared for you below!

A small note: As we move our intimate relationships from the physical world to the virtual world, it is important to remember that the people in front of us are real people, not virtual. Be sure to show that you’ve reviewed their profiles and show them the same respect you’d give to the person you’re dating in the physical world!

Funny Entrance to the Stage

Starting the first impression in a funny way keeps the conversation moving in a warm and fun environment. Opening with a little humor is a great way to get the other person’s attention. A humorous approach can be great for breaking the ice while creating a smile for the other person.
