It’s the perfect setup: you swipe right on a cute girl, and lo and behold, it’s a match! But when you go check out her profile to learn more about her, the bio is blank. How, then, do you craft the perfect opening message? In this article, we’ll tell you how to create a personalized message that’s sure to get a response, even if her profile is a little lacking.

Use her pictures for clues.

  1. Her pics might be able to tell you what she likes to do. Take a minute to scroll through her photos, and look for things like vacation spots, pets, and different foods. If you’re lucky, you can comment on something in her photos instead of relying on a bio to tell you more about her.[1]
    • For instance, if she has a lot of pictures of her out in nature, you can probably assume she likes hiking and going outdoors.
    • If she has a ton of pictures with her dog, you can assume that she’s an animal lover.
    • You can also use her pics to determine if you have any common interests. For instance, if you love to surfboard and she has lots of pics in a wetsuit at the beach, you might open up with a line about that.

Try a pun about her name.

  1. If her name is all you have to go off of, try making a play on words. You might rearrange the letters in her name to come up with a new word, or you could make a sentence out of her name using a word that rhymes with it. This depends a lot on what her name is, so if you’re stuck, try doing a quick Google search for inspo.[6]
    • If her name is Greta, you might say, “If you could rearrange the t and the a in your name, that’d be great.”
    • For a girl named Brianna, you might say, “I’d rather Brianna date with you right now.”
    • If her name is Penny, you could try, “You should change your name from Penny to Dime, cause you’re a 10/10.”

Send her a gif.

  1. Tinder has tons of funny gifs that you can use as an opener. If you’re really stuck on what to say, peruse through your options, and try to find something funny that will make her laugh. For best results, send along a message with your gif so she knows you aren’t just sending the same thing to multiple people.[9]
    • You could send a gif of someone looking confused and caption it with “Me figuring out what my first message should be.”
    • Or, you could try sending a gif of salt bae and adding, “That’s me, sending you the perfect Tinder opener.”

Warnings

  • Keep an eye out for bots and scam accounts. Not everyone without a bio is a fake profile, but they could be.
