I've been able to get matches, but have had a hard time getting responses. Originally, I was opening with "Hey ___" or "Hey, how are you doing" but those did not seem to work.

I have now tried " Hey ___, tell me something interesting about yourself." to make the girl qualify herself to me. First time doing it, I have received the response " I have 27 animals lol."

Would this be a good response: "So are you one of those crazy cat ladies?" in order to tease her and do push/pull.

Thanks
