How to start a conversation on a dating app

Try this

Okay, going out on a limb — is the fact that your whole profile is dogs a great sign or a red flag? I need to know what I'm getting into here.

The key: Reference something specific from their profile and give them an easy, playful thing to answer. "Hey" and "how's your weekend" die in the pile; a specific hook stands out.

Write YOUR exact message → sided does it for you

This is a starting point — but the right words depend on who they are and your history. Tell Sided what you need to say and it writes it in your voice, a few ways.
