Burner account but I swear I'm a real person here. Hopefully I don't thoroughly dox myself but I'm in my thirties and have, for the first time, been forced to use the dating apps. I hate them. However, I (a cis guy) matched with a vegan, communist (based on profile) woman around my age and now I'm banging my head against a wall trying to think of like how to start a convo? I'm so old and stupid, irl I'm not really that worried about meeting people but this is messing with me.

Edit: to clarify, I am also a vegan communist

    I find the most effective strategy is confusion, just pretend from the first message you're already in a relationship. Ask them to pick some stuff up on the way home, tell them their sister called and won't be able to make it for dinner, let them know your fleshlight is dishwasher safe and ask if you could clean it in the dishwasher.
