  1. Use these lines to let them know you’re looking for fun. Jbara says that setting your intention right off the bat is important. If you’re looking to meet up and have fun, it’s best to let them know right away, so they don’t get the wrong idea. Just keep in mind that context is key! Avoid using these on strangers or on more casual dating apps. They’re best used on apps like Grindr, or at saucy singles events, where being naughty is the point.

  1. 1
    Lead with the pick-up line, then use your own material. Matchmaker and dating coach Michelle Jacoby reminds us that “when you're meeting people in person, the most important thing is to just be authentically yourself.” Once you’ve used the pick-up line, switch gears and ditch the script. Let your own personality take over and be yourself to show them that you’re the real, interesting, and 3-dimensional person you are!
    • A small compliment is a great place to start. Tell them you like their outfit or their accessories for a safe and flattering flirt.

    Get advice from other gay people in your life. If you have five close friends that are also gay, who have been out there, sit with them, have them give you the confidence the support you need.

  2. 2
    Follow it up with a more genuine question to keep the convo going. A simple question is all it takes to get things started after a pick-up line. Then, dating coach Lisa Shield tells us to linger on that topic to dive deeper and really get to know each other, rather than just firing off rapid, random interview questions. Take your time and explore the topic to have the best conversation.
    • For example, you might ask them where they grew up. Let’s pretend he says “Denver.” That’s your cue to say something like, “Oh, I went there once and really loved it. How did you feel about it when you were there? Do you miss it?”
  3. 3
    Keep it casual and fun to let them know you’re chill. Jacoby assures us that “a big smile,” “a warm personality,” “and just being friendly” is all it takes to leave a good impression. When you talk to them, take a few deep breaths every now and then to stay calm and relaxed . Remember to smile , and make strong eye contact.
    • Don’t force it, though! Remember to be yourself and do what feels right.
    • In a pinch, match their vibe to make you both comfortable. If they’re relaxed, comfortable, and smiling, that's a huge green flag!
  4. 4
    Make plans to see each other again at the end of the conversation. If you’re messaging, this is crucial! And if you’re talking in person and things are going well, this is how you seal the deal. Thank them for talking and let them know you enjoyed yourself and that you enjoyed their company. Then, suggest a specific time and place to see each other again, or at least get their number so you can make plans.
    • “You’re super interesting, and I’d love to meet up and get to know each other in person. How’s this Friday at the park?”
    • “I’ve had so much fun this evening. Can I see you again? Can I give you my number?”
