The reality is, men are expected to make the first move on Tinder, which means starting the convo, and also keeping it going. Here's how:
1) Say hello. No pickup lines. No compliments right off the bat. Just a "hey, how are you today".
2) Ask questions. What does she do? What are her hobbies/interests? Is she a health freak? Is she a social butterfly? But please stay away from the "what are you doing on Tinder question, it makes them think that you're either just wanting to get laid or get married in a week. Point is, don't do all the talking.
3) Flirt. Once the small talk is over with, show off your funny/flirty side ASAP. You don't want to bore her and making a woman laugh is always a bonus.
4) Tell her you are glad you matched. No need to write paragraphs. Just a little something that lets her know there's something about her you find special ;)
5) Ask her if you can add her on Facebook. This shows that you're starting to be a bit interested, and want to see/know more.
6) Start convos about stuff you see on her Facebook. Ask about her trips and activities that she has displayed on her profile. This shows you have spent the time to find out more about her.
7) Talk to her on a regular basis. You don't need to talk all day everyday but make sure you get in at least 1h of messaging a day. If you go MIA, so will she.
8) Throw in a few genuine compliments. And don't only focus on looks.
9) Ask for her number.
10) CALL TO ASK HER OUT ON A DATE!!! Stand out a little and call her to ask her out. It's also a good opportunity to see if you click a bit when you actually talk.
