Introduction
Flirting is an important part of any romantic relationship. It’s a way to show interest and attraction, as well as express your feelings for someone. But for many people, it can be difficult to know how to start a conversation with a guy. Whether you’re looking to flirt with someone special or just want to make a good impression, here are some tips and strategies to help you get the conversation going.
Ask him a question about something you both have in common
One of the best ways to start a conversation is by finding something you both have in common. Whether it’s a shared hobby, favorite TV show, or similar taste in music, having something in common can give you a great starting point for conversation. Ask him a question about one of those topics and see where the conversation takes you.
“When two people share common interests, they can form a connection more quickly,” says Dr. LeslieBeth Wish, a psychotherapist and relationship expert. “It’s a great way to break the ice and get the conversation flowing.”
Compliment him on something he did or said
Compliments are always appreciated, and they can be a great way to start a conversation with a guy. Focus on something positive that he did or said, such as his sense of humor or intelligence. Be genuine and sincere with your compliments, and don’t be afraid to be specific. A simple “I like your shirt” can go a long way.
“Compliments are a nice way to show appreciation and interest,” says Dr. Wish. “They can also be a great way to break the ice and get the conversation going.”
Share an interesting story about yourself
Sharing a funny or interesting story about yourself is another great way to start a conversation with a guy. Talk about your passions and hobbies, and share something unique about yourself that you think he might find interesting. If you have an interesting story to tell, it will give him something to talk about and will help keep the conversation going.
“Talking about yourself can be a great way to start a conversation,” says Dr. Wish. “It gives the other person something to talk about, and it shows that you’re comfortable enough to open up.”
Ask for his opinion on a current topic
Asking for someone’s opinion on a current topic is a great way to get the conversation started. Find out what topics are important to him and ask for his opinion. This will show that you value his opinion and will give him something to talk about. Plus, it will give you a better idea of who he is and what he’s interested in.
“Asking someone for their opinion can be a great way to start a conversation,” says Dr. Wish. “It shows that you’re interested in what they have to say and that you value their input.”
Make a joke or playful comment
Making a joke or a playful comment can be a great way to start a conversation with a guy. However, it’s important to gauge his sense of humor before making a joke. If he doesn’t seem to respond well to jokes, then it’s probably best to avoid them. Keep things light and fun, and don’t be afraid to be a little bit silly.
“Humor is a great way to break the ice and get the conversation going,” says Dr. Wish. “Just make sure you know the other person’s sense of humor before you make a joke.”
Strike up a conversation about a hobby or interest
Finding out what hobbies and interests a guy has can be a great way to start a conversation. Ask him about his hobbies and interests, and connect over those topics. This will give you something to talk about and will show that you’re interested in getting to know him better.
“Talking about hobbies and interests is a great way to start a conversation,” says Dr. Wish. “It gives you something to talk about and shows that you’re interested in getting to know the other person.”
Suggest doing something together
Inviting someone to do something with you is a great way to show your interest in spending time with them. Suggest doing something together, such as going for a walk or grabbing a cup of coffee. This will show that you’re interested in spending time with him and will give him an invitation to further the conversation.
“Suggesting doing something together is a great way to show that you’re interested in spending time with the other person,” says Dr. Wish. “It’s a great way to show that you’re interested without coming on too strong.”
Conclusion
Starting a conversation with a guy can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. By finding something you both have in common, complimenting him on something he did or said, sharing an interesting story about yourself, asking for his opinion on a current topic, making a joke or playful comment, striking up a conversation about a hobby or interest, and suggesting doing something together, you can start a conversation in a friendly and confident way.
