Q&A for How to Start a Conversation With a Girl

First, make sure she’s okay with you texting her. For example, if she gives you her number, say, “Is it okay if I send you a text?” If she’s says yes, start with something friendly but neutral, like, “Hey, how’s it going?” If you’ve spent time with her recently, you could mention that. For example, “I had fun hanging out last night!”

The best thing you can do is be sincere. If you want to talk about an interesting experience you’ve had or mention your cool job, that’s fine, but avoid bragging or making a big deal out of it. She’ll be impressed if you’re humble but confident, respectful, and good at both listening and participating in the conversation.

If you meet a girl online and want to get to know her better, you could start by introducing yourself and mentioning a shared interest. For example, “Hey, my name’s Pat. I saw your profile on the Reptile Lovers community, and I just wanted to say I think your crested gecko is adorable!” If you’re interested in flirting, just take care to avoid coming on too strong at first. Wait until she seems interested.

Stand up straight, hold your head high, and keep your shoulders tilted back slightly. Try not to think of the negative possibilities (ie: what if she laughs at you, rejects you, makes fun of you, etc). Instead, focus on the present. Be yourself, and try not to act different in order to impress the girl; this may only stress you out and make you appear insecure.

Don't hide it and tell them the truth.

Just be persistent -- if she truly is interested in you, she will come along, but don't be too eager or she will lose interest.

Say hello, then ask the girls about themselves. Learn about their hobbies, families and interests. When you have something in common, use that as a foundation upon which you may build a friendship.

The most important step is to stop worrying about your nose. If you are funny and kind and interesting, most girls will be able to look past any flaws. Just focus on the parts of yourself you do like and be confident.

If you changed, she might look at you because she's interested in you again or she misses you. Try talking to her normally and see her reaction.

She might but be careful -- she might not like you in that way, she might just like you as a friend and find you friendly. Try to talk to her and engage in conversation. And although it sounds obvious, just be nice.

If she is friendly/close to you, try playing a game of Truth, like Truth or Dare without the dare option. Or ask if she wants to play 20 questions and start off with regular questions and then gradually make them more sexual. Remember to be respectful, and if she tells you she's uncomfortable, change the subject right away.

Asian girls are just like any other girls.

There's no way to avoid the heartache. But if you truly know why you want to end the relationship, be honest and tell your partner. This will at least make the heartache a bit more bearable, and allow for closure. It's not knowing why that usually damages the heart.

Ask questions about a subject you both like, or maybe one that she is passionate about like a TV series or musical.

You should just find someone else. She lives 8 hours away, which would make it a hassle to visit, and she's already ignoring you, so she's probably not interested. There are plenty of fish in the sea.

Just ask her if she has a date to homecoming. If she says no, say, "Would you like to go together?" If she says yes, then you can just say you hope you'll see her there.

Start with a "Hello" than talk about stuff like, "It's such a nice day." Then just ask her, "How's your day going?" or "How are you doing, excited for summer to come?" Just remember to be yourself.

Then embrace your shy self! If you're being yourself, you're totally fine.

Act casually around her, then try to work up a close friend status without being too forward (unless she seems like the kind of person who would be into that). Just trying to seem as relaxed as possible while keeping eye contact, smiling, and laughing at appropriate times are the most simple ways to demonstrate confidence and reliability. Another great way to achieve this is through befriending her friends.

Have a long talk with her and confess, she deserves to know.

Try to be charming or funny, and work on improving your English. Practice makes perfect. Most likely many girls will find your accent attractive, so try not to worry about that.

No, manipulation games to make her jealous set the foundation for an unhealthy relationship based off of competition and lies.

Don't be afraid! There is nothing a girl likes more than a guy with confidence. Also, if she's worth your while then she won't let her friends opinion sway her one way or another. Just be polite to her friends and you shouldn't have a problem.

Follow the same steps here, but be prepared to be ignored or told off.

It depends on her tone when she said this, but it sounds like maybe she was teasing you and being flirtatious. She might have been trying to get you to admit that you like her. If she sounded angry, though, she probably just didn't want to be bothered.

Most people do feel awkward when they transition from talking online to talking in person. You just have to be patient. Both of you will warm up to each other eventually.

If she is your girlfriend already, remember that she likes you. That should make you more comfortable talking to her. Ask her how her day is going, then keep asking her questions until you find something in common to discuss.

Yes. Be yourself. Who you are is probably why she likes you.

If you love her back, tell her! If you don't, let her down gently. Tell her that you value her as a friend, but you don't have romantic feelings for her.
