How to reply to “hey” on a dating app

You don’t need a perfect line. You need one easy direction that invites a real reply.

One-sentence promise: Use these examples to turn “hey” into an actual conversation in one message.

How it works (3 steps)

  1. Pick a direction: question, playful game, or light tease.
  2. Make it easy: preference questions beat open-ended essays.
  3. Keep it short: 1–2 lines is ideal.
