Q&A for How to Chat With Your Crush Online

If you know that you share a common interest, chat about that! You can also try asking questions to get to know them better, like “So, what do you like to do in your free time?”

Try opening with something casual, like, “Hey, how’s it going?” Keep the conversation light and playful and avoid heavy or negative topics so you don’t overwhelm your crush. If your crush responds with long, detailed responses, that’s a good sign that they’re interested in chatting. If they don’t answer or stick to one-word answers, they might not feel like chatting. If that happens, back off and try again another time.

Maybe. The only thing that you should do is not assume anything or expect too much.

You just have to step out of your shell and take the first step! You never know until you've tried, right? Just start a conversation by just simply saying hi. Try to maintain the conversation with him, if he is interested in you, he will probably respond.

You can keep chatting with him, but do not try to flirt with him. If he already has a girlfriend, he will not like someone else flirting with him.

Ask what sports, foods, places, etc. they like. Then if they like any of the same things as you, you can start a conversation. If not, be funny! Let's say they like soccer. Say "Oh, cool! How many home runs have you scored?"

Maybe you're being too impatient, which could be making your crush uncomfortable. Maybe try being a little calm during the conversation and try to make your crush feel comfortable to talk to you.

Ignore them too. Play hard to get and they will probably reach out to you.

That's tough. It sounds like she's being reserved or shy with you. She may open up and share more the more comfortable she gets, or it may be a sign that she's not into you. Time will tell. Keep talking to her, and ask open-ended questions that encourage her to elaborate with her answers.

You have to keep calm and relax. When you talk to your crush, try to look calm but flirt. Ask questions that usually lead to bigger conversations, like "What are your favorite bands? Which bands don't you like? Why?". And let him or her talk, but show your opinions after they says theirs, keeping some of your opinions to yourself. You'll have something to talk about in your next conversation, and you'll make them curious, too. Pretend to suddenly remember you have something to do while you're talking, so they'll give value to the conversations.

Maybe she was just preoccupied. Try again. This time plan ahead of time what you're going to talk about. Make sure it's something you know she's interested in.

If you know he has seen your message, don't do anything else. He knows you have reached out to him and he will respond if/when he wants to. If you keep sending more texts, he will think you are clingy and won't want to talk to you.

Show him/her sides of you that are out of the ordinary, things that makes you stand out from everyone else. Let's say that you like a stereotypically "girly" movie, don't be afraid to talk about such things.

They were probably just busy. Just keep talking to them to really tell if they like you back.

Try: Hi there I noticed you had a ______ profile, so I was wondering if you'd accept my request because I just need more followers and I'm trying to follow everyone I know on it so...

Yes, you can.

If someone does not like you, move on to someone else. Do not try to change their mind.

That's okay too! Most of the time, people in relationships don't always agree on everything or like the same things. It's better for your crush to like you for yourself without having to change anything. But, you could always give his/her interests a try and see if you like them! Not only will your crush feel appreciated, it will bring you two closer together.

It could, but there's also a chance he doesn't know what it means and he's only sending you that because you sent it to him first. The best way to know for sure would be to ask him.

Just try to move on. Someone who can't see you for who you are isn't worth your time and attention.

Just try to talk to him. Maybe he will want to talk to you again.

Just be bold and ask him!

You can always keep a conversation going by asking open-ended questions. Instead of responding "Hi," for example, reply along the lines of, "Hi, how's it going? Are you ready for the math quiz tomorrow?" If the conversation dies after that point, it's entirely the other person's fault.

Try to end conversation while at the most interesting parts, so your crush will want to talk to you more later.

Honesty is always the best policy, you can try opening up to your crush and tell them that although thinking and talking about being bold online is easy for you, it may take more time to get comfortable with in person.

You would want to come in with a casual "hey, how are you?" greet them but don't get all over them with questions and keep the greet short. If they don't respond right away don't spam them with messages. Give them time, this will let your crush know that you're a patient person.
