What are the best pick-up lines to use on Bumble? This wikiHow article covers everything you might want to say to spark up a conversation on the popular dating app. In heterosexual relationships, women must start the conversation on Bumble, but men can still peruse these potential pick-up lines to incorporate into conversation. Bumble also allows you to respond to a user's picture or prompt with a compliment, offering another avenue for a pick-up line.

Steps

Use a funny GIF or meme
