Snapchat opener for an optometrist who plays Wednesday pub quiz
How to open a Snapchat conversation with a girl who's an optometrist and plays pub quiz on Wednesdays, without sounding like a template.
She's given you two real hooks: her job and her Wednesday pub quiz. Both are things people actually talk about, which means you have something specific to reference instead of a generic compliment. The mistake most people make is treating Snapchat like a cold DM and sending something vague about her eyes or asking how her week is going.
What a good first message does is show you read her profile and have a reason to write to her specifically. It should give her an easy thing to respond to, because Snapchat conversations die when the reply requires effort. A question she can answer in one word is fine, as long as the question has some personality behind it.
Keep the first message light. You're not trying to close anything in one go. You're trying to get a reply, then a second one, and the rest comes after that.

Read the quiz night, not just the job title
The optometrist line is the obvious hook, and most people will reach for it. Everyone who writes to her will mention eyes or glasses or what she does all day, so that's the least distinctive thing you could say. The Wednesday pub quiz is more useful because it tells you how she spends her week and what kind of company she likes. Someone who plays quiz on a fixed night is probably social, a bit competitive, and cares about having a regular thing. Those are the traits you can speak to.
Pay attention to whatever is visible in her photo or story. A team name, a chalkboard, a scoring sheet, or other people at the table all give you something concrete to reference. Referencing a real detail shows you looked properly, and it hands her a natural thing to reply to.
Give her something to answer in five seconds
A good opener on Snapchat asks her for an opinion, a story, or a small choice. It should be answerable without her needing to think hard or type a lot. Think about what a person who loves pub quiz would enjoy being asked: a question about how they choose their team name, whether they have a category they dread, or how the regulars are doing against the rest of the league. These invite a short answer with some personality in it.
Avoid asking her to explain her job. Optometry is a job she has explained many times, and a question about it tends to produce a flat reply. A question about the quiz, or about something she clearly cares about, is more likely to get a real response.
Wait a day before the second message
Snapchat is a daytime app for a lot of people, and messages can sit unread for hours. If she hasn't replied within a day, send nothing new for at least another day. A second message on the same evening usually reads as pressure, and it turns a neutral silence into a slightly awkward one. If the first message got a reply, match her length and energy, and keep the conversation moving with something she actually said.
If you've sent one message and heard nothing after two or three days, one short follow-up that adds something new is fine. Something tied to the quiz, like the next Wednesday, works well because it gives her a natural reason to reply. If that also goes unanswered, let it go. Silence on Snapchat is usually a sign she's busy or not interested, and a fourth message won't change that.
Why these openers fail
“Hey, so you're an optometrist, that's cool. How's the eye business treating you?”
It opens on her job in a way that invites a flat reply and reads like it could have been sent to anyone who listed a profession.
“Hi, saw you do pub quiz on Wednesdays. What do you do all day at work and do you like it?”
It stacks two unrelated questions and asks for a long answer about her job, which is too much work for a first message on Snapchat.
“Hey gorgeous, your eyes are stunning. You must be a great quiz player too, I bet you're amazing at trivia.”
It leads with appearance, then pads the quiz detail with empty flattery, so she has nothing specific to respond to beyond saying thanks.
Common mistakes
- Leading with a compliment about her looks when her job and quiz habit are the more interesting hooks
- Asking a question so broad she has to write a paragraph to answer it
- Sending a long opener when Snapchat rewards short, easy replies
- Ignoring the team name or quiz detail and writing something that could go to anyone
- Following up three times in one evening before she's had a chance to reply
Questions people ask
- How long should a Snapchat opener be?
- Keep it to one or two short sentences. Snapchat conversations usually start with quick replies, and a long opener feels like a chore for her to answer. One specific detail and one easy question is enough. If she replies with energy, you can write a bit more in the next message, but the first one should be easy to read in a few seconds.
- Should I mention the Wednesday pub quiz or her job first?
- Mention the quiz first, unless her profile gives you a more specific hook. Her job is something many people will comment on, so it's the least distinctive. The quiz tells you what she does for fun and gives you a reason to ask about something she clearly enjoys. You can bring up the job later once the conversation has some momentum.
- What if she replies with just one word?
- Treat it as a signal to keep the next message light and easy to answer. Don't interrogate her or push for more detail. Reply with something short that shows you heard her, then ask a different question that is just as easy to answer. If her replies stay that short after a couple of exchanges, she may not be keen on a long conversation.
- Is it okay to send a message if I see her on Snapchat but we have no mutual friends?
- Yes, a first message is normal, especially when you have a clear reason to write, like her quiz night or her job. Keep it low pressure and don't assume she knows who you are. Make it obvious why you're writing, then leave room for her to reply on her own terms. Quiet acceptance is fine as long as you don't treat silence as a request for more messages.
