What is your opening line CE? Mine is:

"Hold up I am on the last level of Donkey Kong Country. I am about to beat it."

Well I'm not single anymore, but I tried to relate my first message to something in their profile or photos. If their profile was very bare bones and gave me nothing to work with, I'd go with some variation of "Hi [her name], I'm [my name]. What do you like to do in your free time? I like to [lists some of my hobbies]."

I really tried not to do that too much though. It felt really impersonal. The women that stuck around the longest, were the ones that had something in their profile that I could talk about in my first message.

My opening message to my now girlfriend was pointing out that on our profiles, we had both taken a picture at the same aquarium, doing the same thing. I asked her when did she go and what was her favorite thing there. The conversation just took off from there.
