The Weirdly Good At Opener (Tinder)

Question I ask every match: what’s something you’re weirdly good at that has no use in real life? Mine is naming the capital of any country in three seconds.

Replace your example with something small and true. A modest, slightly odd skill works best.

Why it works

Open questions like ‘how are you’ are boring. A specific question gives her a pleasant thing to talk about, and answering with your own example first makes it easy to match the tone.

Follow-up

• Wait, that is actually a useful skill. How did you learn it?
• If she says she has none: Everyone does. Think of the thing friends always ask you to do.
