A first flirt should be easy to answer. Mention one thing from their profile and ask one small question. "You said the allotment is winning. What are you actually growing?" is a flirt. "Hey beautiful" is something they can ignore, and should.
Keep it short. You do not need to explain your dating history, your intentions for the year, or why you are on the site. If you want it kept light, the message can be light. A little flirt is the permission for that. Do not open with a request for photos or a move to another app. When someone asks for photos is the message you do not have to copy.
Stay on Only Flirts for the first few exchanges. Messaging is free, so there is no meter and no reason to rush them off the site. Why it is better to stay on the site is what a phone number costs you.
If they reply, stay with the subject they answered. If they do not, one more note is plenty. Chasing is how a flirt becomes a nuisance. How to block and report is there if the reply you get is not a conversation.
