You matched — great! But now what? Keeping a conversation going online can feel tricky, especially when you don’t want things to fizzle out after a few short messages. Luckily, a little effort goes a long way.
Ask Open-Ended Questions
Instead of “Did you have a good weekend?” try:
👉 “What was the highlight of your weekend?”
These kinds of questions invite detailed answers instead of one-word replies.
Practice Active Listening
Show your match that you’re paying attention by following up on details they share. If they mention they love hiking, ask about their favorite trails or dream destinations.
Add Playfulness and Humor
Don’t be afraid to mix in some fun and humor. A funny meme, a lighthearted “would you rather” question, or a silly poll can take the pressure off and keep things entertaining.
Move Beyond the App
Finally, know when to take it offline. If the conversation feels good, suggest a video call or a casual coffee date. Moving beyond the app helps build a real connection.
Keep It Natural
With the right balance of curiosity, humor, and sincerity, online conversations can feel as natural as chatting in person — maybe even better.
