4 Steps to Successful Conversations in Dating Apps

In the modern world of online dating, it’s easy to feel like just another random match. So, how to stand out in a dating app? The truth is rather old than modern: it is all about establishing a connection. The more communication you have with someone, the more likely you will be able to move forward or at least go beyond the app and meet in person. One of the easiest ways to do this is to be a great conversationalist.

Essential Tips in Establishing Communication: It’s Easier Than It Seems

Have no idea where to start? Here are four simple steps for successful conversations with Ukrainian brides on https://ladadate.com/ukrainian-brides and other platforms.

1. Study the Girl’s Profile

Without rushing headlong, but to show her that she is interesting to you, not only because of her appearance. While physical attraction is the key factor, and that is probably why you swipe right, a conversation that starts with “You’re so hot” is rarely long and successful. So, what attracts you to her? What are her hobbies and interests? Maybe she wrote something in her bio that made you smile? Try to find this special detail.

2. Break the Ice

Don’t start a conversation with a simple “Hello” — it's boring and trivial, and actually shifts all the responsibility of starting a conversation to the recipient. Having studied the girl’s profile, you now know a few facts about her. If you both like rock climbing, start with this. If you think she wrote something funny in her profile, mention it. You can even start with a cute and innocent (no way offensive!) joke that touches on something in her profile. Whatever you write, let it be something personal to her. Not a faceless, stamped “Hello”. You’ll see: the chances of an answer will increase significantly.

3. Answer and Ask Another Question

If your welcome line worked and she answered congratulations! Now you have a chance to make a conversation. If she asked you a question, answer it sincerely, using more than one word. And then ask her a counter question on the topic that interests you. Just don’t get too personal and don’t ask her to meet right away — hold your horses, mister. If she didn’t ask you anything, but just answered your message, then you can still initiate a conversation at this point. Show genuine interest and ask about something else.

4. Make Her Want More

So, after a few minutes of pleasant conversation, let her know that you enjoyed chatting with her, and if she is interested in continuing to communicate, let her tell this to you. You can write something like: “I really enjoyed chatting with you, and I would like to talk more. This time tomorrow?” It’s cute, creates a connection, and most importantly, makes her want more. And the next day, during your conversation, move on to the most exciting — say that you want to meet her in person (if this is true), and offer to choose a convenient time for both of you.

While it can sometimes be difficult to make a conversation in the app, a successful chatting with your new match is crucial for your first, such an important date to happen.
