Get her texting back without opening with 'hi'
Skip the boring greeting. Make her want to text back by responding to something real about her instead.
When you text 'hi' or 'hey' after matching, you're asking her to do all the work. She has to think of something to say to a stranger. Most won't bother.
Instead, respond to her actual words, her photos, or something from her profile. This tells her you read what she wrote. It gives her something concrete to reply to, not a blank slate.
A good reply makes texting you feel like a conversation, not an interview. She replies because you said something worth replying to, not because she's being polite.

Why she doesn't text back after a match
A bare 'hi' doesn't signal that you actually care about who she is. From her end, it's identical to every other match. She has no reason to pick you out of the crowd.
What actually makes her reply is knowing you noticed something specific. Did she mention a hobby? Did you see she's into a show or a place you know? That detail is your opening. It proves you're not sending the same thing to fifty people.
If her profile is thin and there's nothing to grab onto, a simple observation about her photo beats a greeting every time. 'Your dog is massive' beats 'hi' because it's real.
The move that makes her want to write back
Pull one detail from her profile or message. Reference it directly. Then add your own take or a real question that flows from it.
If she mentioned traveling, don't ask 'do you like traveling.' Instead, name a place she listed and say why you'd go there, or ask about her worst travel story. Give her something specific to sink her teeth into.
The second job is to make sure she doesn't have to manufacture a response from nothing. You're handing her the thread. She just pulls it.
Send it fast, but not desperate fast
Match and text within the first few hours while the app is still top of mind for both of you. Waiting three days kills momentum. She's already moved on to other matches.
If she doesn't reply within a day, don't send a follow-up text. The silence already told you something. Move on. If she does reply, keep responses coming within a few hours for the first exchange, then you can ease off. Once you're texting like a real back-and-forth, the rhythm sorts itself out.
Why these replies fail
“Hey”
It's empty. She has to invent a reason to engage with a stranger.
“How's your week going?”
Generic filler that shows you didn't look at her profile at all.
“You're cute, we should grab drinks”
It skips the entire relationship building phase and puts pressure on her to commit to a date with someone she doesn't know yet.
Common mistakes
- Opening with 'hi', 'hey', or 'what's up' and nothing else
- Asking a generic question like 'how's your day' that could go to anyone
- Jumping straight to asking her out before any real exchange
- Saying something about your own life instead of engaging with hers
- Waiting too long to send the first text after a match
Questions people ask
- What if her profile has almost nothing on it?
- Pick one thing from her photos. A location, an object, an animal, anything visible. Comment on that. 'Nice view' beats 'hi' even if you're reaching. You're still showing you looked.
- Should I compliment her looks if I have nothing else to work with?
- Save the compliment for later when you've established actual rapport. Right now, a photo comment about anything else will land better and feel less transactional.
- How many times should I text if she's not replying?
- Once. Send one solid opening text. If she doesn't reply in 24 hours, she's not interested or didn't see it. Sending more looks needy and doesn't change the outcome.
- Is it weird to reference something obscure from her profile?
- No. The more specific, the better. It shows you actually read. Weird in a good way beats generic. She'll respect that you paid attention.

“Used it for a couple hours and set up a date the same night. Not even kidding.”
