FAQ
What’s the best time to send a Tinder opener in 2025?
Evenings still rule, but focus more on context than timing—reply-worthy openers reference something in their profile and ask one clear question.
Are pickup lines dead?
Not if they’re short, specific, and easy to answer. One-liners that offer a choice or a quick game still perform best.
Is it worth mentioning Double Date or Share My Date?
Yes—light references make you feel current and thoughtful about safety, especially for first meets.
Does verification really matter?
A verified profile can increase trust and reduce ghosting. Mention it briefly, then shift back to playful chat.
How soon should I suggest meeting?
If the vibe’s good, five to ten messages is plenty. Offer one casual option and a flexible backup.
What if they don’t respond?
Leave one friendly follow-up after a day or two, then move on. Rotate to a different opener style next time.
