For convenience or simply for fear of daring to take a step aside, many people prefer to start a conversation with a simple “Hi”“Hello“
Or “ComAre you okay?”. To stand out and finally match, here are some original catchphrases, full of humor and each more attractive than the last.
Approach others differently
Good news for all those who thought they were lonely or desperate: it is possible to approach your “matches” differently on dating apps.
“How to best approach people on dating sites? A challenge that is not obvious but nevertheless possible while avoiding old worn-out clichés. It’s better to focus on authenticity and humor, without overdoing it.”reveals Amélie Boukhobza.
Without further ado, here are the tips to adopt for a guaranteed crush.
Catchphrases to favor
The psychologist recommends starting conservation with an open and original question: instead of a banal “Hi, how are you?”it is better to favor something more engaging like: “If you had to host a dinner with 3 famous people, who would you choose? ? ” or “SIf you could add a bonus hour to your day, what would you spend it on?
This introduction reveals some interesting things. “The objective is to invite discussion while revealing a little of our personality”further asserts the expert. Subtle, unforced humor remains the best choice in this regard. For example :
- “Between a dog that talks and a cat that cooks, what do you choose?” (and the whole series of between this and that…
With ridiculous and impossible choices); - “On a scale of 1 to I sleep with my socks on, how weird are you?” ;
- “I promise, I’m not judging, but… do you like Christmas movies outside of December?”;
“These sentences intrigue, make you smile and avoid the slippery slope of heavy jokes”confirms the psychologist. On the other hand, ban “the classic remark on the profile(s)”. “Better is a deeper catchphrase, which shows that we are attentive and that we have taken the time to (really) read their description”.
Like for example:
- “Fan of travel? Which countries have you visited?” ;
- “Your profile photo…? I need the story behind this photo”;
- “I saw your bio, and clearly, I had to ask you: who is your hero in life?” ;
The subtle compliment is also a good idea. “However, forget obvious flattery, like “Your playlist in the bio, I love it”. The idea is to compliment while opening the door to a discussion.”specifies the practitioner.
Another possibility: gentle provocation and complicit play, which work every time:
- “Your bio is intriguing, but not enough to guess whether you are more introverted or extroverted. Am I wrong?” (a little mystery is always useful to encourage the other to respond);
- “What are your top 3 films that you recommend I watch before our wedding? I take notes” ;
- “What about our wedding music? Which ones do you choose?” ;
“These sentences, a bit provocative, attract attention and open up a fun exchange. In summary: you have to reflect who you are, without making a ton of it.”concludes Amélie Boukhobza.
