Adorable pick up lines
that feel like a small gift,
not a big ask.

I told my best friend about your profile and now they're invested. So am I.

I keep coming back to your photos and I'm not sure I'm being subtle about it.

I rewrote this message three times. Hi.

Full disclosure: I stopped scrolling the second I saw your profile. Haven't started again.

I'm supposed to be working, but I keep thinking about what to say to you.

My friends are tired of hearing about the person with the great smile I matched with.

I may or may not have practiced saying 'hi' to you in the mirror. It didn't help.

Honestly, I was hoping you'd message me first. But I'm glad I didn't wait.

I'm trying to be cool and casual, but my brain just keeps saying 'wow'.

Don't tell anyone, but I've been staring at your pictures trying to find a flaw. I can't.

My opening line was going to be a terrible pun, but I chickened out. So, hello.

I showed my mom your picture. She approves. No pressure or anything.

Confession: I've had your profile open in a tab for the better part of an hour.

I might have let out a small, audible 'oh!' when we matched. It was very dignified.

I promised myself I wouldn't message anyone today, but then I saw you. Rules were broken.

I've officially spent more time thinking about this first message than my dinner.

Is it weird to admit I'm already hoping you'll reply? Probably. Oh well.

My heart did a little flip when I saw the notification. I'm not even exaggerating.

I feel like I should say something incredibly witty, but I'm too busy being charmed.

I have a folder of good opening lines. I'm not using any of them. Hi.

I'm not saying I got excited when we matched, but I did a tiny happy dance.

I feel like I've already messed this up, but I'm sending it anyway. Hello.

Hi. Your smile is doing things to me. (Polite things.)

Hi — I noticed you and wanted to say something. This is the something.

Hi. I matched with you and forgot how to type. Reset complete.

Hi. I'm not great at first messages, so I'm just going with 'you seem lovely'.

Hello. My brain is currently buffering. Please enjoy this placeholder message.

Hi. I wanted to wait a bit to seem cool, but I have no self-control. So, hi.

Hi there. This is me being brave and hoping you'll be brave and say hi back.

Hey. I'm just going to skip the clever part and go straight to admiring your profile.

Hi. I'm trying to think of a non-boring way to say hello. How am I doing?

Hello. I saw your profile and my day got significantly better. So, thank you.

Hi. You have a really warm smile, and I just wanted to tell you that.

Hi there. I'm just going to put it out there that I'm very happy we matched.

Hi. My plan was to come up with a perfect opener. This is not that opener.

Hello. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm pretty sure I wanted to say it to you.

Hi. This is me trying to be smoother than I actually am. Did it work?

Hey. I'm going with simple and honest: you seem really wonderful and I wanted to talk.

Hi. I've officially run out of ways to procrastinate messaging you. So here I am.

Hi. My thumb hovered over the message button for a solid minute. Glad I pressed it.

Hello. I'm terrible at this. You, on the other hand, seem great at being adorable.

Hi. Just a heads up, I'm probably going to be thinking about your smile all day.

Hi. I think you're cute and I'm a little nervous. That's all I've got.

Well, hi. I saw we matched and I just couldn't not say something.

Hi. I don't really have a line, just a genuine hope you'll write back.

Question — what's the chance you're as soft-spoken as your photos make you look?

Are you a habit forming? Because I've checked your profile four times and I'm pretending I haven't.

Tiny ask: would you like to make a person (me) smile by replying?

So, are you as nice as you look, or am I just projecting?

Is your smile always this distracting, or is that just a new development?

Are you accepting applications for someone to think about you all day? I'd like to apply.

What are the chances I can make you smile with a terrible joke later?

Hypothetically, what's a small compliment I could give you that would make your day?

If I send you a cute animal picture, will you promise to reply?

Okay, be honest: what was your first thought when you saw we matched?

I'm trying to decide what to make for dinner, but I can only think about you. Any ideas?

Is it too forward to say I'm already looking forward to your reply?
