The hardest part of talking to someone you have finally matched with on dating apps like Hinge and Tinder is the dreaded opening line.

A lot of people talk about opening lines, whether by debating the best thing to say to get someone's attention or by taking screenshots of the most awkward ones.

But Hinge, a popular dating app that introduces users to friends of friends, says it has figured out the best lines to initiate conversation. The app, which raised a $12 million Series A round of funding last year, conducted a month-long study, analyzing data from its users.

"Every day, the Hinge team is asked if we know the secret to starting a great conversation that will actually lead somewhere," Karen Fein, Hinge's vice president of marketing, says. "Frankly, we didn't! Since it's our mission to help users move beyond the swipe, to connect over something interesting and to ultimately meet up — we decided to find out."

Here are some of Hinge's findings. If you take nothing else away from the company's results, just know that pretty much anything you say to a new match is better than a simple "hey."
