Q&A for How to Converse with a Guy Online

Let the conversation be natural. Keep in mind that it is not an interview. You are doing it to have fun. Do not have a list of questions that you would like to ask. Instead, talk about their lifestyle and values. For example, you can ask what they did last summer or on the weekend.

To have an honest and impressive conversation with a guy online, you should post your latest photo in which you look as you are.

Check the profile of the person and comment on it. If they respond, it shows that they have an interest in you. You can take this as a chance to start a conversation with them.

Start with a 'hey' followed by a question you feel comfortable asking (and answering) like 'How's your day going?', 'What's up?', or 'What're you up to?'. Try to find something you might be interested in within his answer (sports, school, news, a connection you have) and either show off your listening skills or your knowledge in the area.. As a general rule of thumb, though, try to keep your message sizes relatively equal.

You can't force someone to talk. If he's not interested in talking to you, then don't message him.

Be yourself and ask him questions about himself.

Don't message him the second he logs on, don't hog all of his time or act hurt if he doesn't reply immediately. Talk to him about things that interest him.

I suggest not trying too hard to be funny. Tell him a funny story that might be related to the topic you are currently talking about. (Don't make one up, lying is not good.) Maybe tease him a bit about something he said or did. Like, if he makes a typo, you could say, "Tank you? Wow, good job lmao." Don't make any jokes that could be considered offensive, at least not until you know him a lot better.

Be descriptive and funny. Ask him questions.

Ask open-ended questions (those that require more than a yes-or-no answer). What sports are you into? Do you like to watch, play, or both? What sorts of books and magazines do you like to read? What kind of music do you listen to, and who have you seen live?

You can tell him about a stupid incident that happened with you that day or send him jokes.

Work on being the best version of you possible, be confident, and be yourself.

if you are only talking online, just stop messaging him.

Introduce yourself. Don't be afraid. You'll never know what could happen if you don't try. Just mention where you know him from, like "Hey, this is [your name], I'm a friend of [mutual friend's name]," or whatever.

Ask them to talk later and tell them you'll be waiting, but remember if they don't want to chat first, that's alright, too.

He'll ask questions about you, want to know about your day, feel sad and concerned when you're sad, and most importantly, he'll text you first!

He'll compliment you, text you first, tease you, and want to know about you and your day.

Ask him why he doesn't physically talk to you. Try to initiate the next level of conversation.

Talk to him about things you think he would be interested in. However, the conversation should go both ways so see what he likes to talk about, and proceed from there.

Ask him questions and engage him in conversations regarding his interests and his past.

It could be, especially since it gives him the option to quit responding if he's busy/uncomfortable.

It's possible he just got busy or distracted suddenly and had to walk away from the conversation. It's also possible you were talking about something he didn't want to discuss or you offended him in some way. I wouldn't worry too much, just ask him what happened next time you chat.

Talk to him about things he is interested in. It may take him a while to open up.

Be yourself and be confident. The more effort you put into trying to impress someone, the less likely you are to succeed.

Start by talking to him about something that happened in your day that made you think of him and that will get the conversation going. You can even make it up.

Rather than starting with something like "Hey!" or "Hello!" try asking a fun question that he has to respond to, like what his favorite dessert is or what is in his pocket. You'll stand out from the crowd and it'll make him have to think about it and get the conversation going. For example, you could say something like, "Hey there, are you a pineapple on pizza kind of guy or not?" His response will give you clues about his personality and you've managed to start up a conversation!

Generally, yes, it's a little clingy to immediately follow up a message with another message. It can also come off as desperate. However, sometimes when a conversation is really flowing, it's totally appropriate to send multiple messages in a row. Especially if you're both talking in a sort of "stream of conscious" kind of way where you're messaging as your thinking about things.

People often like to talk about themselves, so asking a guy questions about his job, hobbies, or talents is likely to keep him talking. It's also important that you respond to his questions with thoughtful and open answers if you expect the same from him. To liven things up, you can ask quirky questions that will also reveal more of his personality. For example, you could ask him something like, "What song is your guilty pleasure that you would hate if someone found out you liked it?"
