Romantic openers
that feel like a real risk,
not a practiced line.

I read your profile twice. The second time I started imagining the second date. Hi.

I'm picturing a slow Saturday with you and the lighting is good. That's the whole thought.

I would 100% be the person who remembers your coffee order on day one.

I rewrote this four times. Sending the most honest one. Hi.

Confession — I've been thinking about messaging you for an hour. Just sending the words now.

I'm not going to play it cool. Your profile made me want to know you. Hi.

My friends told me to play it cool. I am officially not listening to my friends. Hi.

I stopped on your profile and my brain just went 'oh.' So, there's my opener. Oh.

I have a rule about not messaging first. You are the exception to that rule.

Okay, deep breath. I'm just going to say it: your profile is the best one I've seen.

It feels a little bold to say this, but I feel like I might be looking at my future.

Full disclosure: I may have shown your profile to my best friend and she agrees. We're fans.

I'm trying to write a casual 'hey,' but it keeps coming out as 'I think you're wonderful.

I don't really believe in signs, but your profile felt like a very convincing one.

My thumb hovered over your profile for a solid minute. I took that as a sign to say hi.

I'm sending this before I overthink it for another ten minutes. Hope your day is good.

Honestly, I’m not sure what to say, except that something about you feels important.

I'm supposed to be working, but I can't stop thinking about your profile. So, here I am.

I've officially run out of witty things to say. So I'm just going with 'hi, I'm captivated.

My heart did a little flip seeing your profile. I figured you should know.

This feels surprisingly vulnerable, just saying hi, but I'm doing it anyway.

I think people can tell within a paragraph whether someone's worth their time. Your bio took half a paragraph.

I'd be the kind of person who actually reads your texts twice. You'd notice. Hi.
