How to Respond on Tinder When You Get a Super Like

If you've been using Tinder for a while, you've likely received a Super Like at least once. This feature, indicated by a blue star, shows that someone is truly interested in you—they're not just casually swiping right. Although it's flattering, you might find it a bit challenging to start a conversation after receiving a Super Like. Read on to learn how to message the person who gave you a Super Like and keep the conversation flowing in an engaging direction.

Getting a Super Like doesn't mean you have to swipe right. If you've looked at someone's profile and aren't feeling a connection, swipe left so they can find a better match. They'll have a new Super Like to use tomorrow, and they might not even remember your profile after a few hours.

• Others won’t be notified if you swipe left, even if they've Super Liked you.

Start the conversation like you normally would. If you want to keep things low-key, you don’t have to overthink your opening message. Simply send something casual like 'Hey there!' or 'What’s with that strong swipe?' to get the ball rolling. From there, they can continue the conversation, maybe mentioning something they liked about your profile.

• If you're not into sending just 'hey', consider sending a fun GIF to help set the tone with a lighthearted touch.

After all, getting a Super Like feels pretty awesome. There's no need to make it seem like a big deal, but you could quickly drop a message like, 'Hey, thanks for the Super Like!' before continuing the chat. This shows that you’ve noticed and appreciate their interest.

• Just be careful not to overdo it—messages like 'WOW, why would a gorgeous girl like you Super Like a guy like me??' could come across as a little desperate, which might make them hesitant to start the conversation the way you want.

Start the conversation with something sweet and simple. Since they Super Liked you, they are likely to be open to chatting about anything you like. Try starting with an open question so you can ease into a casual conversation.

• Send a message like, 'Hey, how’s your day going?' or 'Hi, how's your day been so far?'

Take a look through their photos and bio to find a conversation starter. Since they Super Liked you, they might have a shared interest with you, such as a hobby or the city where you both grew up. Try sending an opening message like:

• 'Wow, you grew up in Cat Ba Island too? I lived there until I was 5.'
• 'How long have you been rock climbing?'
• 'Do you enjoy studying in Thai Binh?'

Pretend you need them to start a silly debate. This is a fun way to show off your sense of humor and prove that their Super Like was a great choice. Alternatively, you could take a closer look at their profile and ask them for their opinion on something more serious. You can send messages like:

• 'Quick, I need to know your opinion! Is a hot dog a sandwich?'
• 'My roommate and I are debating, and we need you to weigh in: Is a PopTart a type of pizza?'
• 'It’s awesome to know you skate! Even though I think I know the answer, I still want to ask: Do you think skateboarding or rollerblading is more fun?'

Pick something you like from their profile. It could be a part of their bio, a photo, or something they do in their free time. Send them a message complimenting that to start a fun and engaging conversation.

• For example: You could say, “I really like the picture of you at the beach. You look amazing!”
• Or, “Your bio made me laugh. I wonder if you're that funny in real life too?”

Getting a Super Like feels nice, but it doesn't change much. While it's exciting to get a Super Like, you don't need to go overboard trying to win their affection or put them on a pedestal. After sending a simple 'Hello', just continue the conversation as you would with anyone else. Let the chat flow naturally to build a genuine connection with this person.

• You have just one day to respond to a Super Like before it expires.
