Replying to an Opening Move is a great way to show you’re interested in getting to know someone better.
- Women can set an Opening Move and wait for their match to reply, or they can take the lead and send the first message themselves.
- Men can respond to their match’s Opening Move, or they can wait for their match to message them first.
- In nonbinary and same-gender connections, either person can send a message, respond to an Opening Move, or set one of their own.
If you can see someone's Opening Move on their profile, you don’t need to wait for them to message you first. Just reply to their question to initiate a conversation.
