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.
