Let's be real: Matching with someone from an online dating app can give you all kinds of ~feelings~. While some get slightly nervous at the thought of interacting with a complete stranger, there are some who do get butterflies in their stomach (in a good way). Of course it's too soon to say, but who knows, baka siya na pala yung The One, haha.
Obviously, once you've matched, someone has got to message first. But what exactly do you say? We all know that these first few exchanges are *crucial* since they'll pretty much define if your convo will make it or break it. And even if there are those who like to play it safe, you can't help but encounter some ~quirky~ messages every once in a while. Below, we asked Pinays from our Cosmo Community to share the most memorable convo starters they've experienced on a dating app. Keep reading for more.
Check out these funny and interesting dating app convo starters from 10 Pinays.

"Unfortunately, he just didn't quite get the question right."
Karla
"May match ako just yesterday na medyo fail yung pag-compliment namin sa isa't isa."
Ira
"Yung akin hindi funny. It was the DRIEST CONVO of 2021."
Luisa
"I answered six, LOL. I played along!"
Stefani
"Backstory: I accidentally Super Liked him and I was like, 'Sayang Super Like 'cause I can't undo it!' Buti funny yung opener niya pero corny kasi walang reply. Medyo ka-level niya yung, 'Anong favorite mong number sa electric fan?" Haha! Anyway, Spotify link 'yan to Lady Gaga's 'Judas.'"
Jen
"Sungit! I'm trying here."
Arianna
"This happened with my current boyfriend! It was on Bumble so girls make the first move. His bio was something about chess like, 'Call me a knight cause every move I make is an L.' I quickly swiped right and tried to correct him with, 'Bro, the knight moves diagonally.' Turns out I was remembering the bishop 'cause I always called the knight, the horse. (I knew it was called a knight but I just forgot at the moment since bishop pieces always looked more like a knight to me)."
Khrisha
"Feng shui expert??"
Andrea
"What the f—? LOL, needless to say, I didn't reply."
Nicole
"You know how people sometimes reply with, '????' I wish I could say it IRL. Sobrang labo kasi!"
