A person’s Bumble profile photos can tell you a lot about them and also give you an opportunity to start a conversation about your match.

Ask them about their travel photos or about a photo of them doing a hobby or passion of theirs. People love to talk about their trips and hobbies, so this can be a great way to get the conversation going and to show your genuine interest.

3 connect with shared interests

4 ask an openended question

4. Ask an open-ended question

ROAST, make your profile work

It’s easy to ask a question like:

“How are you?”

“Did you have a good day?”*

But these are common questions that won’t spark much interest in your match... You don’t want to ask a question that can be answered with one word, as it’ll be tough to get a conversation started that way.

Instead, ask open-ended questions that can lead to a more meaningful, thought-out response.

5 start with a compliment

5. Start with a compliment

Who said only women love compliments? Everyone likes getting a compliment, and if you’re not sure how to start a conversation with your match, compliment them on something in their profile.

Don’t focus solely on looks and make it more personal to show you really took the time to look at their profile, and are interested in more than just their appearance.
