Dating apps can be tricky. You're competing with literally hundreds of other people, so it's more important than ever to make that opening line count.

Some opt for a compliment. Others go for a joke.

And some immediately blow all the competition out of the water with an undeniably excellent Brexit-themed pun:

Hookup apps for everyone

AdultFriendFinder — readers’ pick for casual connections

Hinge — popular choice for regular meetups

You've got to hand it to them -- that is a very strong opener.

No update yet from James on whether or not he responded. But based on the strength on that opener it would surely be difficult to resist.
