Chappy’s Resident Love Guru Shares What Not To Say On Your Next Dating App Convo…

Chappy’s resident relationship advisor/ PR manager, Lerone, shares some top tips on what NOT to say on your next Chappy convo.  Trust him, he’s now got a really fit boyfriend.

Chappy launched last month with a mission to give gay men more choice and control in the online dating space. Whether you’re looking for something more serious (Mr Right) or something a little more last minute and spontaneous (Mr Right Now), Chappy’s features get rid of those awkward, “what you looking for?” questions to help you find guys on your wavelength.

Over to Lerone, let’s see what he’s got to say…

1.Shit first messages
“Hey” – Grow a pair and make PROPER CONVERSATION. You wouldn’t say hey to someone at a bar then just stare at them in silence.

“What’s up?” – There is no good way to reply to this… answering “not much” makes you sound as boring as the question itself.

“Looking?” – The hit US TV show? Have you lost something?

Give your beau something to work with please. Give it some context. Go in with a compliment. Ask a fun question. Even comment on the weather if you have to, just please make it INTERESTING.

2. “Can you give me your phone number?”
Moment of silence for all the conversations this question has killed. If in doubt, it’s probably too soon to ask. Nobody wants a phonebook full of mis-matches. As a general rule, waiting until you are arranging your first real date is a good time to take things offline.

3. “Who’s your friend in the picture?”
If you have swiped right on a guy, DO NOT ask after his peers. If you really can’t imagine life without said hot friend, we all have an MI5 worthy friend who will be able to track down their Instagram in 10 minutes using only the name of their first childhood pet.

4. “What u looking for?”
Even if you know exactly what you are looking for, it’s a delicate artform to message it right. “A husband and a BMW” might scare off your future husband in an instant, and no great night of passion started with the words “just some fun lol”. Match a guy in the same Chappy mood as you and see how the conversation goes. You can always drop hints.

5. “Going straight in with the d*** pic”
Whether you are looking for your Mr. Right or your Mr. Right Now, a dick pic before saying hello is never chic. Be the gentleman your mother expects you to be and save your little Chap’s debut until it is appropriate.
