"how's your day going?"
"How was your weekend?"
" Any plans for the week?"
These are cheap, lazy ways to start a conversation. Give them a go, Plankton
That sounds like a discard swipe to me. Asking about the week is just an ice breaker, someone stating that is not only going to rely on you to carry the conversation, they're also less likely to reflect upon themselves.
Ignore that, move on to a good match, start a conversation any way you like.
And when they respond, be interested in what they do. Ask questions, make follow up questions etc.
