Recently we asked on a twitter poll “who should make the first move after matching?” Unsurprisingly, the overwhelming answer was that the man should. Even the option to not talk at all received more votes than women making the first move!
Ladies, remember, you can message first too!
You won’t find your soulmate on this blog post but you might find them on Muzz - the world’s biggest Muslim dating and marriage app.
I know there is always the fear of getting ghosted, or just the thought that you’re opening line is not great. But surely it’s better to take control and start the conversation rather than sitting around after matching and wondering why he hasn’t messaged yet. Or wondering whether he will ever message. And then there’s always the thought that maybe he swiped right accidentally and doesn’t actually like you at all.
We do know how daunting it can be to send the first message, so here are our top tips to get the ball rolling:
You’re probably thinking “Duuh!”, but a lot of people do overthink what they should message first, and end up not saying anything at all! A simple Salaam with a little smiley emoji is fine to at least get the conversation started. Personalise it by adding their name too, so they know you have actually checked their profile.
