A neutral “Thank you!” can keep the door open for conversation without initiating anything yourself. A short “Thanks” can tell the other person you appreciated the compliment but aren’t really interested in continuing the conversation. A lengthy “Thank you so much! That’s so sweet of you to say. 😊” can show that you really like the attention and want to keep chatting. You should always be polite. You can say thank you so much for the compliment. It made me smile. [2] X Research source

“Your taste in music is so awesome. 😁” “You seem really cool!” “I really like your pictures. 🙂”

“Wow, that was smooth. 😏” “Did you come up with that one yourself?” “I know, right? 😋”

“Hey there cutie. 😘” “I was hoping you’d message me!” “You’re way too hot to be on this app. 😳”

“OMG thank you!” “You’re so sweet!!!!!!” “You made my day!”

“Really? Your bio cracks me up. How’d you come up with that?” “I like that picture, too. Do you have a favorite picture on your profile?” “Aw, shucks. So what are you into?”

“My bio is actually a quote from my favorite author. ” “My best friend helped me choose my pictures. "

Use a GIF or memes that are funny without explanation so the other person doesn’t feel confused. When in doubt, send an animal GIF.

If you don’t want to respond right away because you’re busy or don’t want to be on the app, you can say something like, “Sorry for the late response!”

Again, a short “Thanks” can get the message across that you’re not interested. If you’re worried about hurting the other person’s feelings, you can lie and say, “Sorry, I’m actually already talking to someone else. ” If you want to deflect, you can talk about something else and ask questions.
