“[Insert lemon emoji] Sorry, I couldn’t find an opening lime" -

Do we need to explain how funny (and brilliant) this opening line is? If you don't get a reaction from this, the person likely has no sense of humor.

"What's your theme song?" -

That says something about the person, right? Be suspicious if the song is way too happy, or really depressing.

"Before we get too serious, I need to know: Do you put the toilet paper over the top or under the roll?" -

There are only two types of people in this world, and you know which one you are. Not quite a true test of compatibility, but it'll guarantee a laugh.

"You're given a million dollars but have to spend it all in a day and have nothing to show for it by the end. What does that day look like?" -

Usually the person's wildest dreams come into play here. If money was no objection and you really needed to spend that much in one day, what would you do?

“Sorry, I’m looking for the exit, so we can go out” -

Smooth, right? You might or might not get a response. But the person will definitely smile on the other end. Perhaps even laugh out loud!

“What is that one topic you can talk about for hours and not get tired?” -

This is another take on the "what are you passionate about" question. It does reveal quite a lot about the other person.

"Do you like bad girls? Because I’m really bad at this dating app thing" -

“I heard you like bad boys. You'll be glad to know that I am bad at everything," works equally well, if you're a man.

"What character (or characters) best describe you?" -

This will give you an idea of how the person sees themself. If the answer is someone like the Joker though, maybe it's not a good idea to continue with the conversation...

"I don’t have any conversation starters ready, but I couldn’t wait to talk to you" -

Sometimes honesty is the best option. "I don’t know what to say, but I know I want to talk to you," works equally well.

"Cheese, pepperoni, or Hawaiian?" -

You can top it off (pun intended) with the follow-up question, "Deep dish or thin crust?"

"[Insert GIF of the Titanic] An icebreaker. There, I did the thing" -

Many people use GIFs as openers. Cute cats are always fun to watch, but they do work better with a bit of context.

“If your life was a movie, what would you name it?” -

Block the person if they say "'The Exorcist.'" You have been warned!

“What would you do if you had the power to be invisible for an entire day?” -

This is a good one, right? What would you do? Go to places you shouldn't go? Spy on someone? Have fun scaring others by moving objects? The possibilities are endless.

"If you were a vegetable, you'd be a cute-cumber" -

Try this if you're into cheesy and funny openers. "If you were a fruit, you'd be a fine-apple," is also a good one.

"How many different pasta shapes can you name?" -

This is a funny ice breaker to introduce the topic of food, cooking, restaurants– you name it.

"You have 24 hours left on Earth. What do you do?" -

Tough question, and one that makes us think about what's really important to us, right?

“If you could switch lives with a celebrity for a day, who would it be and why?” -

Would they pick a singer, a movie star, or an athlete? Of course, you can always follow up this question by asking why they chose that particular celebrity.

"What's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?" -

Are they an early bird or a night owl? Do they get up immediately and have a busy morning routine, or are they an alarm snoozer who prefers a lie-in? Important stuff, right?

"Why'd you swipe right?" -

Of course it's because you're gorgeous, have an awesome bio, and look like a very interesting person, right? But let them state their reasons.

“Pick one: dogs or cats” -

Are you a dog person, or a cat person? Or maybe you love them both equally? This is a great way to find out if the person is into pets, and if they own any of their own.

"What's the worst opening line you've ever received?" -

The response will give you an idea of the person's sense of humor, expectations, and tolerance. Take notes though!

“If you are stranded on a deserted island, what are the three things you would want to have with you?” -

What is absolutely necessary? Of course, survival would come first, but the answer will reveal something about the person's priorities and how they think.

"What’s your most controversial opinion? If we can overcome this, we can overcome anything" -

If you like deep, heated conversations, why not use this opening line? The person might take it lightly and dismiss it, or actually engage in a debate with you.

© Shutterstock

"If you won the lottery, what’s the first thing you would buy me?" -

Funny and really cheeky. But it might just get you a response. It does show some boldness and confidence, too.

© Shutterstock

"My friends would be jealous if you went out with me” -

Cute and cheesy. A sweet opener that would give anyone an ego boost.

© Shutterstock

“What’s the most interesting detail about you that Google also knows?” -

Some people might say that there's not much, others might brag about their public achievements, while others might surprise you.

© Shutterstock

“I’m from the future and we need to be together because our child will achieve world peace" -

Now, imagine if that's true?! It goes straight to marriage and children, which makes it absurd enough to be funny.

© Shutterstock

"We're married. I'm complaining that I don't know what I want to eat. You suggest...?" -

Can you see the different layers here? From problem-solving skills to food suggestions, this question has a lot to it.

© Shutterstock

“My battery is about to die, but I messaged you, hoping your response will revive my phone and me” -

Sometimes, a cheesy opening line can go a long way. Hopefully the person understands that you are doing it because, well, it's really cheesy and funny.

© Shutterstock

“I am dreaming about you. Do not wake me up” -

Just a cheesy and funny line that will put a smile on the other person's face.
