5%.
According to recent data, only about 5% of online conversations lead to dates.
That’s - depressing.
So, what can you do about it?
You can boost your chances of meeting your online crush by standing out with your communication. The phrase ‘ice breakers’ might not conjure up the best memories, so view these questions as fun conversation starters that you can use to stand out and be unique.
