Find The Jim To Your Pam With These 25 The Office Opening Lines

If you're a Michael looking for a Holly, a Dwight looking for an Angela, or a Pam trying to find your Jim, having opening lines to send to The Office fans on dating apps can be a great way to connect with matches. Sending that first message can be difficult! But going through a match’s profile can inspire your opening line, especially if their profile mentions their love of The Office. In that case, use some The Office quotes for Tinder to get the conversation going.

By referencing one of their favorite shows, you’ve already won a few brownie points (or Dundies) and shown you have similar taste in television (which makes Netflix-and-chill nights so much easier down the road). You’ll be bantering back and forth better than Jim and Pam ever could in no time. But first, you’ve got to first decide on which (of the many, many) The Office references to send.

While you could write a sentence like Michael Scott and hope you find where it’s going “along the way,” you could also just use any of the best Office quotes for Tinder. Start with one of these 25. And if all else fails, you could always just invite them on a paid vacation to Sandals Resort in Jamaica.

Sending the first message on an app can be intimidating, but making a real connection can be totally worth it. So, the next time you match with a cutie who loves The Office as much as you do, send them a line — you may find the Gil to your Oscar.
