Yes or no questions are easy to ask, but they can lead to short answers that quickly end the chat rather than keep a conversation going. Open ended questions are a fun way to get to know your match and show them you're genuinely interested in them and the Tinder convo.


You can ask about their interests, past, family life, goals, and anything else about them which will lead to a successful conversation on the app. These questions are perfect if you're looking for a real relationship and want to have a great conversation that's meaningful and leads somewhere. It is very likely that a question like this will get you past the Tinder Read Receipts.


Your opening message should get your match talking more about herself until she feels comfortable talking to you.

One of the biggest mistakes guys make on Tinder is dragging out the conversation until it's drawn out and boring. Rather than force the conversation on Tinder, know when it's time to take things to text and keep the conversation going there.


Not only will this move save the conversation between you and your match, but it'll let them know you're interested in taking things to real life. This is a great idea if you're serious about sending longer messages and scoring yourself a potential date with your match.
