Funny ice breakers are one of the surest conversation starters, and this applies especially to dating apps. With thousands of Tinder matches made daily, you want to stand out from the crowd of dull conversation starters that mostly lead nowhere; the hi’s and hello’s.


Here’s the thing; your opening line is a big deal. Okay, maybe not that much of a big deal, but getting off on the wrong foot may derail the course of what could have been, while a finely written opener can take you both from a tinder conversation to a Friday night date. How does that sound?


An amazing opening line can be sure to attract the other person’s attention. The best tinder opening lines make for great conversation starters. You don't have to rack your head for a good psychology pickup line. There's an almost infallible hack to getting responses; being funny.


That’s right; funny is attractive. A joke can actually help boost romantic connection. So stop with the 'Hello's and 'WYD's. That's taking you nowhere.

This might be one of the most obvious ways of getting good attention to yourself. After all, getting the other person to smile is a great way to start. Funny tinder openers are a great way to break the ice, but don’t fret about making a great joke. Cheesy pickup lines also work. But hey, don't strive to make bad jokes. It's not a cheesy pickup line competition.


6 examples of hilarious opening lines will be:


How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice


Do you have a Band-Aid? I just scraped my knee falling for you.


Just a warning for you this Christmas. If a fat man in a red suit comes to pick you up, know it’s because you are on my wish list.


Are you a parking ticket? Cause you've got fine written all over you.


I thought it was just another boring Monday; then I saw your picture.


I may sound busy, but you're on my to-do list.

Everybody has a funny, crazy event that has happened to them. Sharing a funny memory can be an exciting way of getting things started. Surely, the other party has something pretty crazy to add.

It may have been a sore topic in the past, but the pandemic is a common memory everyone shares now. We all remember the initial events that played out, the overreaction and hysteria. People wore plastic bottles and bags over their heads. Being stuck in the house for months would be sure to have created funny memories. Ask questions in this direction.


What is the funniest thing you’ve experienced during a zoom call?


What was the craziest purchase you made during the pandemic?

Being direct can be make for some of the best conversation starters in their own way if it is done correctly.

It is, after all, one of the first things a possible match sees, and you should strive to make an excellent first impression. For starters, a great photo of yourself goes a long way. For your bio, go for a simple fact about you that is likely to start a conversation. You want to seem interesting.
