The suggestive opener,
sent with a straight face,
not a cheap shot.

I'd help you with anything tonight. Anything anything. (That's flirting.)

My calendar's clear next weekend. Just letting you know. No reason at all.

Are you a thunderstorm? Because I had plans, but I'd cancel them for you.

I’m not saying you're a distraction, but my to-do list is staging a protest.

My Saturday plans are currently 'undecided.' I'm open to compelling arguments to change that.

I’m usually much better at focusing. You seem to be my one weakness.

I'd let you pick the movie, even if it's a rom-com I've already seen.

I have a problem I was hoping you could solve. It involves my empty weekend calendar.

I had a whole plan for my day, but then your profile showed up. The plan is different now.

You're making it very difficult for me to be productive. And I'm not even mad about it.

If you're as good at conversation as you are at picking outfits, we're in for a good time.

I'm pretty good at making decisions, but you've left me completely stumped on what to do next.

I'm not saying I'm already planning our first date, but I have some ideas. Some very good ideas.

Quick question — what are you doing tonight? Asking for two reasons.

Be honest, are you the kind of person who'd cancel plans for the right text?

I have a suggestion for tonight. Slightly-bad suggestion. Want to hear it?

Hypothetically, if I brought over hot chocolate, would you provide the fireplace and witty banter?

What’s your opinion on spontaneous midweek plans? Asking for someone about to suggest one.

Do you believe in canceling your current plans for a better offer? My offer involves great food.

I have a theory that a drink with you is the perfect cure for a long week. Care to test it?

Is it too forward to ask what you're doing Friday? Because I have a better idea.

If I dared you to have the best first date of your life this week, would you accept the challenge?

I'm being direct — your profile is the highlight of my day, and possibly my evening.

I had a polite opener prepared. Going with the less-polite version. Hi.

Your photos are doing things to my afternoon I didn't plan for. Reasonable things. Hi.

You have a smile that looks like it could start some very interesting stories. I want to hear one.

You have a look that says 'adventure.' Let's not keep it waiting.

Confession — I've thought about your profile more than is statistically reasonable. Mostly reasonable thoughts.

Random confession — I rewrote this four times. Previous three were filthier. Polite version.

I had a perfectly clean opener prepared. This one is less clean. Hi.

My friends dared me to be more direct. So, direct confession: I'm very into your whole vibe.

Confession: I'm not usually the one to make the first move, but I couldn't risk you getting away.

Honesty hour: I'm way more interested in planning a date with you than in making small talk.

Confession: I'm breaking my 'no apps during work' rule just to message you. Don't tell my boss.

Fair warning: I'm probably going to ask you out in the next three messages. This is one of them.

Let me just confess now: my plan is to charm you into a date by the end of the week.

I'm aware leading with this is slightly inappropriate. The slight inappropriateness IS the move.

Disclaimer — I tend to send the cheekier version. This is that version.

I had four polite openers. None felt right. So you get the slightly dirty one.

I spent a good five minutes trying to write something that wasn't a generic dating app line. This is it.

My bio is only ninety percent true. The other ten percent is something I'd rather show you over drinks.

I could ask about your week, or I could just admit I was hoping we'd match. I'm going with option two.

So, our profiles seem to get along. Think we should introduce them in person?
