A lot of people talk about opening lines, whether it's debating the best thing to say to get someone's attention or taking screenshots of the most awkward ones.
But Hinge, a popular dating app that introduces users to friends of friends, says it has figured out the best conversation starters. The app, which raised a $12 million Series A round of funding last year, conducted a month-long study, analyzing data from their users.
"Everyday, the Hinge team is asked if we know the secret to starting a great conversation that will actually lead somewhere," says Karen Fein, Hinge's VP of Marketing. "Frankly, we didn't! Since it's our mission to help users move beyond the swipe, to connect over something interesting and to ultimately meet up - we decided to find out."
Here are some of Hinge's findings. If you take nothing else away from their results, just know that pretty much anything you say to a new match is better than a simple "hey."
