I had some great hookup chats when I was dating. One of my most successful experiences was when I connected with someone who shared similar interests and values as myself. We started talking about our favorite movies, music, and hobbies, then eventually moved on to more intimate topics like what we wanted out of relationships and life in general. By the end of our conversation, we felt comfortable enough to make plans for a date. We ended up going out a few times and even became good friends!
