Opening Moves

Opening Moves allow you to start better conversations and take the pressure off making the first move.

  • You can choose a suggested Opening Move like, “What’s your dream vacation destination?” write your own, or get creative with a photo as your Opening Move. You can set up to three Opening Moves
  • Women who have an Opening Move set can simply wait for a match to reply to their Opening Move. Or, they can still start the conversation by sending a first message or replying to their match's Opening Move.
  • Men can respond to a match's Opening Move to start a conversation, or they can wait for their match to message them first or reply to their Opening Move. 
  • In non-binary and same-gender connections, either person can initiate a chat and set and respond to an Opening Move.

To set an Opening Move:

  • Open the Chats tab
  • Tap "Choose your Opening Move". If you already have an Opening Move set, look for “Your Opening Moves”
  • Write your own Opening Move or choose from a list of options. You can also add a photo and choose a caption as an Opening Move.

To edit an Opening Move:

  • Open the Chats tab
  • Tap “Your Opening Moves”
  • Tap the Opening Move you’d like to edit 
  • Tap “Edit” or “Remove” to make your changes 

Remember: You can add up to 3 Opening Moves to show more of your personality.
