đź’ˇ Chat Tips to Keep the Conversation Going
1. Match Their Energy
If they’re funny, be light and playful.
If they’re introspective, lean into thoughtful responses.
→ Mirroring someone’s tone builds comfort and emotional safety.
2. Ask Follow-Up Questions
"You mentioned you love hiking—what’s your all-time favorite trail?"
Don’t just acknowledge their message—build on it.
3. Share a Little, Then Ask
"I just tried Ethiopian food for the first time last week. Ever tried something totally new and loved it?"
Sharing makes the conversation feel mutual, not one-sided.
4. Use Their Profile as Fuel
Scroll through their photos or interests again.
"I saw your pic from Italy! What was the best part of the trip?"
