How do you reply to “Typical Sunday” on a dating app?

Pick one thing she wrote and be curious about it. Her answer is usually tiny, so the only way in is a detail. Telling her your own Sunday first, or saying hers sounds great, gives her nothing to answer.

Is “Typical Sunday” a good prompt to open on?

It's easy to open on and easy to be boring on. Almost every guy picks it because it feels safe, so the bar to stand out is low but most replies still sound the same.

Why didn't she reply to my message about her Sunday?

Most likely it read like something she's seen many times that week. A generic comment about brunch or lazy days doesn't show you read her card. Specific beats nice.

Replying to her “Typical Sunday”

I wrote matcha, farmers market, couch. That's it. I didn't think about it for more than ten seconds, and honestly that's the point. It's a peek at what I'm like when nobody needs anything from me.

What I'm hoping for is someone who can picture it. Not a review of my Sunday, not a list of his own. Just a guy who reads three words and gets a little curious about the rest of the day.

What I get instead is forty versions of the same thing about brunch. I stop reading after the second one.

What I notice.

What gets a reply

He picks one small detail and asks about it like he actually wants the answer. The market, the matcha, which couch.
He guesses something about the rest of my day and he's a little bit wrong. Correcting him is fun.
He sounds like he'd be fine sitting on that couch with me. Easy, not trying to win.

What I leave on read

He tells me his own Sunday in full. Cool, but I didn't ask yet.
He says my Sunday sounds perfect. That's a compliment with nowhere to go.
He jumps straight to taking me to brunch. We haven't said hi.
