- 1

Openers that work on OkCupid
Copy it, personalise it with one real detail from the profile or chat, then send. These are templates, not scripts to recite.
Light
“I was going to say something clever, but this works better: hello.”
Direct
“Quick question: is it always this hard to start a conversation with you?”
Mistakes that kill the chat on OkCupid
Most conversations do not die from a lack of chemistry. They die from vague messages, pressure, or sudden changes of tone.
Generic opener
If it could be sent to anyone, it usually feels copied.
Far too much pressure
Do not force a date, a reply or a compliment before the chat has any rhythm.
Tone mismatch
A spicy line in a cold chat feels abrupt. Match the current energy first.
