What is the best first message on Tinder?
The best first message references something specific from her profile, is under 10 words, and gives her an easy hook to respond to.
Should I say 'hey' on Tinder?
No. 'Hey' puts the entire burden of conversation on her. It gives her nothing to respond to and you'll get lost in her inbox.
