Here’s a few examples of OLD openers that were successful and led to numbers and/or dates.

What works for me is opening with either a message that relates to their profile or I immediately propose a FUN date. I don’t like wasting my time on the apps so I keep the small talk to a minimum and escalate for a number. I’m not trying to be anyone’s pen pal.

I only use hinge because I value my time and I can choose what women I want to talk to rather than mindlessly swiping on tinder/bumble

Her hinge prompt: My love language is… pasta

I open with: Have you tried the pasta at (restaurant)?

She replies: I don’t believe I have, where is it at? :)

By my 6th message I asked for her number and we have a date planned this weekend at a local drink spot

Her hinge prompt: Please don’t ask me how my days going… it’s going well

I open with: Let’s make your day better than well. Have you been to (rooftop bar)?

She replies: I have! I love that spot…

Two messages later I ask for her number. We made plans but I planned a different date with someone else I was more into so I told her I’ll let her know when I’m available

Her hinge photo: She’s wearing a pink top and holding a pink mixed drink

I open with: That glass is so dangerously close to spilling. Good thing you were wearing pink 😂

She replies: Hahahah…noticing the small details.. I have a hunch you must have a good sense of humor😂😜

A few messages I ask her out to a bar. We went on a date that led to making out
