I'm working on an article for Bustle called "Lines To Use On

I'll be creating a list of fun lines to use when you want to

something like, "I see you love coffee. Where's your favorite
place to go around here?" But I'm open to all ideas!
If you are a dating expert, please see my questions below.
1. What are some "lines" you can use to move the convo off the
app and meet up in real life? For each example, please briefly
explain why it works.
2. In general, do you recommend moving from texting on the app
to seeing each other in real life as soon as possible? What are
the benefits of meeting up?
Thanks!
