Girls are so bored of “Hey!” or “How’s it going?” that they likely won’t reply at all if you go with that.
But, why?

Sexy Pickup Lines For Tinder
A note of warning: unless their profile explicitly states they use Tinder for hookups, these lines probably won’t get you far. In fact, they’ll probably get you unmatched faster than a cannonball can fly, BUT if they’re looking for something raunchy and you are too…then these are the best Tinder pickup lines.
36. You’re so coming over to watch Game of Thrones and making out…popcorn’s on me! 😉
Everyone loves making out sessions, right?!
37. You’re seriously hot. And I’m seriously happy we matched.
You can go into more detail about how and why they’re hot in the next message…
38. I’m already picturing you naked. So what can I do to impress you so much that I actually get to see you naked?
Obviously, you need to know they’re looking for dirty for this message to work… But also, importantly, you show you’re willing to work for it!
39. We matched! Does that mean you’re coming over to my place tonight, or should we meet and establish we aren’t serial killers or living with our parents first?
It shows what you want…but it also shows you’ve got common sense and a sense of humor.
40. Dinner first, or can we go straight for dessert?
Innuendo is flirtatious and not too in your face.
41. What are the chances that I see you naked tonight? 😉
This is forward, yet funny enough that it isn’t awkward. Also, you’re giving them a choice to laugh it off, but also a chance to say that your chances are indeed high!

45. Tell me: what must I do to get from “you matched” to “you saw each other naked.” Help a guy out here!
This is very upfront. On the upside, if they want to see you naked, they will reply AND you’ll find out exactly what you need to do to get into their bedroom (and their pants). The thing with dating, in general, is figuring out what someone likes and giving it to them.
46. (BONUS): Being a perfect gentleman I’m trying hard not to picture you naked. So help me out by distracting me: what’s the best vacation you ever had?
You can ask anything — the best vacation, favorite food, top three things to do on a Sunday…
