10 Conversation-Starter Prompts To Ask Your Next Tinder Match (3 of 3)

8. “Which clique did you belong to in high school?”

Were they a socially awkward marching band geek? The jock? Or perhaps they were a goth kid who dressed all in black and wore mascara and studded collars. The reason this question is so effective is that it allows you to wax nostalgic and marvel at how much a person has changed since their teenage days.

9. “If your dog or cat could communicate with you, what is the one question you’d ask them?”

This is a quirky question that encourages your Tinder crush to think creatively and exhibit their sense of humor. Plus, let’s be honest here, who hasn’t imagined what it would be like to know what’s going on in Rex or Whiskers Meowington’s noggin?

10. “You are being forced to move to a deserted island and can only take three items with you. What do you take?”

This is the kind of question that requires a great deal of reflection and forces your Tinder match to think about life in practical terms. If they plan to take their computer, a six pack of beer, and a microwave, it would be a good time to point out that this island has neither WiFi, electricity nor a fridge to keep the beer nice and cold. On the other hand, if their choices are a bicycle, some flint to start a fire, and a waterproof tent, they have probably already considered the possibility that this scenario will become a reality!

So next time your Tinder match sends you a message with a quick, “Hey,” hit them back with one of these questions. Who knows where it will lead!
