Online Dating: Conversation Starters For Each Platform, Found Using Social Data

We crunched a decade's worth of social data to find ideal conversation starters for daters on every platform from Bumble to Tinder.

Ah, conversation starters.

It’s probably the most awkward part of dating, especially when the future of your relationship could depend on that first message.

To make things a little less painful for you (and to follow up on our Decade of Dating report) we tracked conversations about the top eight free lifestyle apps with the goal of finding out what interests the different dating apps’ audiences have.

For this analysis, we used Brandwatch Consumer Research data spanning the decade, from July 1 2010 to December 31 2019

Let’s get to the data! Below, you’ll find the rankings of the top interests for those talking about the different platforms we studied.

Tinder

If you don’t know where to start, users who post about Tinder are also interested in:

  1. Music
  2. Family and parenting
  3. Food and drinks
  4. Books

OKCupid

If you think it could be for you, some great topics of conversation could be:

  1. Books
  2. Family and parenting
