  1. One of the best ways to have rizz on Tinder is to show off your humor.

  1. Catch their attention by being smooth and quick-witted.

How to Use Rizz on Tinder

PDF download Download Article
  1. Step 1 Create an engaging profile.
    If you want to put your rizz to the test, make sure you get matches by completing your profile. Have a variety of photos (not just bathroom selfies!) that show your personality and hobbies, and make sure your bio genuinely reflects who you are and what you’re looking for.[9]
    • If you don’t have many high-quality photos of yourself, ask a friend to take some the next time you’re at a fancy event like a wedding or when you’re out doing an activity you’re passionate about. You can also learn how to take flattering photos of yourself if no one is available.
    • Be direct about what you’re looking for. Whether it’s a long-term relationship or a hookup, let your potential matches know early on so you can both find someone who wants the same thing.
    • Use good grammar in your bio to show your matches you’re taking this seriously. Showing that you put time and effort into it is a green flag.
  2. Step 2 Use personalized openers.
    While pick-up lines are a great way of catching someone’s attention, try not to use the same one for every match. Pay attention to their profile and use an opener that you think matches their vibe and personality. You also don’t have to use a line to have Tinder rizz; try asking them about something on their profile.
  3. Step 3 Show genuine interest.
    Dating coach Kezia Noble tells us that it’s what comes after the pickup line that really matters.[10] Now that you’ve broken the ice, you have to be able to keep the conversation going. Take another look at their profile and see what they’re interested in. Then, ask them questions about it! This is a great way to show you’re interested and to keep the conversation from fizzling out before you get to know them.
    • Reader Poll: We asked 441 wikiHow readers how important it is to have a common interest when starting a conversation with a guy online, and 58% of them said Very important. I want to have something to bond over. [Take Poll]
  4. Step 4 Be confident...
    Be confident, but not cocky. Confidence is one of the biggest factors we look for in a partner, so avoid making too many self-deprecating jokes. Remember, your match swiped right for a reason, so now’s the time to put your best foot forward and show them all your best qualities. Just don’t come across too braggy or act like you’re better than them.[11]
    • To show your confidence, try messaging them first instead of waiting for them to start the conversation. Then, if they seem interested, don’t be afraid to ask for their phone number or set up a first date.
  5. Step 5 Be respectful and understanding.
    Not every match is going to be a success, and that’s okay. If someone doesn’t respond, or the conversation fizzles out, let it go. Don’t call them names or complain about the situation. Instead, move on. If they’re not answering, it’s a good sign they’re not the one for you, anyway.

Tips

  • If you want to keep the conversation going but can’t think of what to say, just change the subject! Ask about one of their photos or an interest they mention in their bio.
  • Don’t get discouraged if your openers don’t seem to be working. Try mixing it up and see if another style works better.
