I"m struggling to make a real connection when online dating. How do I avoid surface level convos when I don't know the person!

  This is a great question and we're so happy you asked it! We recommend avoiding questions that only result in a yes/no answer like "Do you have pets?" These types of questions aren't going to get you very far. If you haven't read the persons' dating profile that you're about to message, that's step numero uno! Read through it to see if anything immediately stands out to you that either you're genuinely curious about or you can relate to. Pose questions that will likely result in a much more robust answer for example, "Omg I just moved to the city too, where were you previously and what made you move?" or "I'm obsessed with the show Succession right now and see you're a big fan as well, what do we really think of Cousin Greg?"
