“Hey you! 😊” “Well hi there, stranger. ” “Howdy 🤠”

Try using 👀 to say “Hey, I see you too. ” Share a gif of a cute animal waving as a way to say hi back to them. Send a gif of a kitten and say, “Are you kitten me with that opener? Got anything else to say?”

“Hey Sam! How’s your day been?” “Hi hi! What are you up to?” “Hello! 🙂 Have you had a good week so far?”

“Is that all you got? C’mon, I know you got a better opener than that 😉” “Did you even read my bio? I gave you so much to work with! 😜” “Oh, I haven’t heard that one before 😉 what else do you got?”

“What about me caught your eye that you wanted to keep messaging? 😉” “Tell me if I’m wrong, but did you want to keep chatting just based on my dashing good looks? 😏” “I matched with you because you look like you have a lot of fun. Your turn to tell me why you swiped right!”

“Hey is for horses, like the ones in your pics! It’s so cool that you like to ride!” “Wow, it looks like you like to travel a lot. I’ve always wanted to explore the world too! Where’s your favorite place to go?” “There’s no way that you’ve never seen The Office! We’re going to have to change that!”

“Wow, I feel honored that you’re chatting with me 😊 how’d I get so lucky?” “You seem really special so I can’t wait to get to know you 🙂” “I don’t usually match when someone says ‘hey,’ but after reading through your bio, I had to make an exception 😉”

“I guess I’m like a polar bear because here I am breaking the ice LOL. ” “What has 2 thumbs and is ready to knock your socks off? Spoiler alert: it’s me 😜” “I don’t have my library card, but I still want to check you out 😉”

“Hi! What are the biggest goals you want to accomplish this year?” “How would you describe your perfect day off?” “Hey there! What are the 5 things you’d bring with you on a desert island?”

“Hey there! It looks like you love to roller skate and OMG me too! 🙂 Where are your favorite places to go?” “You and I have the exact same music taste! Have you seen any good concerts recently?” “Wow, I loved Squid Game! What did you think of that ending?”

You can definitely try a few times to get them to engage in conversation, but if their 1-word answers continue, it’s probably best to just move on.
