Maybe there’s a girl in class you really like a lot but you’re not sure she even knows you exist. Or perhaps there’s one who is kind of shy… and seems like she’d make a good friend. Or one who is really smart who you kind of admire. If they were boys, you’d have no problem starting a conversation… but they’re not….and you can’t. We here at being boyz remember the feeling. And lucky for you, in the spirit of Saint Valentine, we’d love to share what we’ve learned through the years. Listen up and soon she’ll be listening to you!
Girls like to talk about themselves. All people do. One of the easiest ways to get to know a girl is to ask her questions. You could ask “What did you think of that test this morning?” or ask about some sport she’s interested in. Don’t ask questions that could be answered by yes or no cause then the conversation is over. Music, TV shows and movies are also good topics.
Laughter is contagious. A wise man once said, “Laughter is the best medicine,” and he was right. When you’re happy and laughing, it’s contagious, so don’t be afraid of showing off your sense of humor. If making people laugh is not one of your strengths, search the Internet for jokes or fun anecdotes that you can bring up in conversation.
Don’t be a chatty Cathy. No one likes a chatter box. When we’re nervous we all tend to ramble on but overpowering a conversation and forgetting to ask questions doesn’t show a person you’re interested in hearing about them. Look for clues. If she’s wearing a baseball cap, ask her how his team is doing. If she plays a particular video game, ask about her highest score. These types of questions will definitely instigate a conversation.
Don’t be so focused on impressing her that you’re tempted to lie. While we all tend to embellish the truth a bit, you are much better off being open and honest. Lying about who you are will only come back to haunt you later on. Share the parts of your life that are most rewarding… your friends, your family, and your personal interests. Don’t be afraid to talk about what you do best. It’s not showing off. It’s sharing.
