Is a GIF a good starter message to send a guy on Bumble?

Question

I was thinking a GIF that asked 'what's up' or 'how you doing'. Is it good enough to send?

If a guy did that it would almost guarantee he'd get no response lol, but you're a girl so you'll probably get away with it. Personally I think it's better to say hi and ask a tailor your first message based on the information in they're profile.

Not really. It's not personable, it's not interesting, plus a little low effort.

Noted. How about introducing myself and then asking how he's doing?

Hmm that seems a bit formal. I mean I'm guessing you already know each other's name from profiles. Let me ask, do you find something interesting in his profile? Whether something in his pictures, his bio, his hobbies, his 3 questions and answers, his details etc?

Yup, this is a good starter. Now it all depends how you connect it with yourself and your personality, maybe some book you've read, or some movie you've watched, or some activity you might've done etc. A couple suggestions

• If you're feeling frisky, then you can say something like "hey [name], so I've heard military boys lie down on a grenade in a heartbeat, then how'd you diffuse a sex bomb?"
• or about fishing "people say there are plenty of fish in the sea, now I'm glad you caught one on your fishing trip and I caught one here"
• or like "you know I saw your fishing pic and that reminded me [something?]" an example like "of an article that I read about finding new species of blue whales in the Indian ocean. How unexplored are our oceans!"

No. Being an adult and talking on the phone is better.
