Communication

From the first message to real conversations that go somewhere.

Good communication is what turns a match into a connection. It's less about clever lines and more about curiosity, honesty and consistency.

Starting the conversation

  • Mention something specific from their profile. It shows you actually read it.
  • Skip the "Hey". A question they'll enjoy answering gets far more replies.
  • Your City Love Wingman can suggest openers based on shared interests.

Keeping it flowing

  • Share a little about yourself as well as asking questions. Aim for balance, not an interrogation.
  • Move to a call or a date once it feels easy. Long text-only chats often fizzle out.

Talking about the important stuff

  • Use "I" statements, like "I feel…" rather than "You always…".
  • Raise small concerns early, while they're still small.

Want a little help putting this into practice? Your private Wingman is in the City Love app.
