Opening In Online Dating apps.

So obviously Covid means that practicing pick-up irl isn't really possible at the moment (at least where I am). 

So what do you guys find is the best way to open online? 
Do you guys use a generic phrase which you copy paste to every match? Do you cater your to the girl's bio? If they respond with something pretty dead (Ex. 'Haha, yeah') what do you do from there without resorting to asking questions over and over to try and get them to open up a bit?

I’ll do one of:

a) Cold read - most are reasonably similar, so I have this down to an art. (Like wine, dancing etc)

b) Joke about something in their bio. I was the class clown and did a bit of comedy writing so it’s handy for me.

c) If I can’t think of anything or cba, I’ll just stick their name into r/Tinder and steal a line from there.

I don’t bother with one word responders, or I’ll just say “I hope you’re more talkative when we meet”, they’ll likely either say something like “Sorry just a bit busy” in which case I proceed if they buck their ideas up. If they just say “Ooh rude” or some other shit that doesn’t explain it adequately I’ll unmatch. But I rarely bother with these women.

If a girl doesn’t respond, I’ll wait three days and say “I hope you’re not this quiet in bed” and work from there. I’ll only do this a maximum of two times otherwise they get unmatched.

FIRST OFF. Day game is not dead. Im in the most lockdown heavy province in canada. Ontario. And sure... The stores are closed but there are girls out in parks and at the beaches.

SECOND. You have to get a girl on a phone call with these online dating apps. I usually bring up how its so hard to portray personality through online dating and recommend a phone call. Limit yourself to chatting for only 25 minutes the first time tho. U cant come off as need. And dont talk about covid. Its nothing but negativity.

Hey there! Opening online, especially post-COVID, can still be tricky. Personalize your messages to her bio or photos. It shows genuine interest. If the convo stalls, avoid the question bombardment.
