“Love Story” told us that love means never having to say you’re sorry. And now apparently DATING requires never saying sorry. So just stop apologizing in general, it’s hurting your game.

A new study by a dating app called Hinge figured out the best and worst things you can say when you start talking to a potential date online. The two best things are . . .

1. “Haha.” Or “lol.” Conversations where you laugh a lot are 17% more likely to lead to phone numbers being exchanged.

2. “I like your name.” Complimenting someone’s name makes you 12.5% more likely to get their number.

The two WORST things you can say in your first conversation are . . .

1. “Sorry.” People who apologize for anything in the first conversation are 56% less likely to eventually exchange numbers.

2. “Let’s get together next week.” People who don’t pick a specific date to meet up are 40% less likely to exchange numbers.
