How To Start a Conversation with A Guy

LetHim Know You

Whether he is a new guy at your workplace, a hot schoolmate, or a stranger at your favorite entertainment spot, confidently approach them and introduce yourself. Keep it simple, like “Hi, my name is Jane, what’s yours?”

Compliment Him

Chances are there is a thing or two about him you will find attractive or fascinating. It can be his beards, shirt, six-packs, smile, eyes, or shoes. Talk about and watch them become more interested in the conversation.

Ask For A Favor

You may ask for directions or their hand to lighten the load. This boosts their confidence, creating a way for a more interesting conversation. Once your favor is met, smile and thank them.

Find Out Their Interest

Ask him about his interests. If you are lucky, you will find some that you share. This will help you revolve around the topics that will keep your conversation alive.

Pose Open-Ended Questions

Open-ended questions are easily the best way to keep the conversation flowing. Since they encourage a debate, you are more likely to know more about his interests and personality.

Initiate Physical Contact

Brushing against his shoulder or resting your hand on his arm while making eye contact mid-conversationshows them how interested you are.

Ask Him Out

This is the moment you have building up for. If you are sure he likes you too, ask him if you can grab coffee together sometime later. This will allow you to know him better.
