Quick question for experienced online daters

Quick question for experienced online daters — when you first start chatting with someone, what’s your go-to conversation starter? I always feel stuck with either boring small talk or questions that feel way too deep for the first few messages. How do you find that balance between being interesting and not coming on too strong? Would love to hear some of your best opening lines or strategies that actually helped you get a real conversation going.

Advice: don't write "hi, how are you?" - for girls this is at the top of the list of annoying phrases.

I never communicate too formulaically on dating sites. You have to be creative to be memorable and to please a girl. I set a goal this year to meet one of Slovak beauties and chose sofiadating .  I liked that on this platform, girls have a lot of specific information in their profiles, so you can get hooked right away. You should try to start with something personal, not banal. And don't be afraid to be a little strange - it's memorable. Also, listen carefully. Often in the first answer, she'll give you a clue as to how to continue.
