Short answer: When you do not know what to say, skip the fake-clever opener and send one specific, easy-to-answer line that hands them a story to tell. Copy one below and tweak it to sound like you.

Bad vs. better
Why it works: It hands them a specific, easy story to tell instead of making them carry a dead-end greeting.
What a blank moment actually means
Freezing up is not a lack of personality, it is pressure. You are trying to write the funniest thing you have ever sent to a stranger you already like, and that bar is impossible on the first message.
The fix is lowering the stakes on your side. One honest, curious line beats a polished opener you agonize over for ten minutes and never send.
Funny versus flirty, and when to pick each
Go funny when the vibe is light or their profile is playful. Self-aware humor about being nervous or over-thinking reads as confident, not weak, because you are naming the awkwardness before it names you.
Go flirty when there is already a spark, a reply streak, or a bold profile. Flirty works best when it is specific to them, one detail you actually noticed, not a line you could paste to anyone.
Dating apps are not a normal text thread
In a normal text you share history, so 'wyd' works. On an app you have zero context, so a low-effort line makes them do all the work, and most people just will not.
Give them a lane. Ask about one concrete thing (a trip, a pet, a hobby in their bio) or offer a small confession they can react to. Specific beats clever every time.
How to not sound dry
Dry messages are ones that can be answered in one word: 'hey', 'cool', 'nice pics'. If your line invites a yes, no, or 'lol', rewrite it into a question that needs a real sentence.
Add one detail and one hook. Mention something you noticed, then leave an easy opening for them to run with. That turns a dead 'hi' into an actual back-and-forth.

Send an honest, specific line: name one thing from their profile and ask about it, or admit you over-thought the opener. Both feel human and give them something concrete to answer.
No, when it is self-aware it is charming. 'Typed and deleted four messages, so you get this honest disaster instead' shows effort and personality at once. Just follow it with a question.
Lead funny or curious to open the door, save flirty for once there is a spark or a reply streak. Flirty too early can read as a copy-paste line unless it points at a real detail.
React to the specific thing they said, then add your own version or a follow-up question. Trade small stories instead of interviewing them, and you avoid the dry one-word spiral.
