FUNNY
Spin off of the classic cheesy pick up lines in a platonic and ironic way. This shows your future vina that you are easy going and humorous, and if they share your humor, you already have common ground!
Examples include:
- Is your name wi-fi? Cause I’m feeling a connection
- Girl, I wish I could rearrange the alphabet and have U and I go bowling.
- We have so much in common, you’re a person, I’m a person, you breathe, I breathe…its like we were destined to be friends.
- You smell great! What perfume do you use? (it’s funny because you’ll be DMing, so you obvi can’t smell each other)
RESEARCH BASED
Look at their photo and bio and pick out something you have common ground with. Added bonus for something that inspires an activity!
Examples include:
- “Hey, you like basketball? Did you see the game last night”
- “OMG you look amazing in that cardigan! Can we go shopping together sometime?”
PHOTOS
A picture is worth more than a thousand words. Well placed images and memes are always a perfect ice breaker. Send your fave and get an instant “lol” back. Your future vina will know immediately that you can put a smile on their face. What better way to start a friendship?
Examples include:
- Starting the conversation with a picture of Ice Breaker mints

- Combining your research with a prime meme about a TV show, book sports team etc.

- Ending the conversation with an card like so:
