Q&A for How to Talk to a Girl over the Phone

If you really like her, call her and ask her out to dinner. Spend time talking in person—don't spend all your time talking on the phone or texting. You really need to make sure that chemistry is there in person.

If she is bored or in a bad mood, it's probably not the best time to talk to her. If you're already in the middle of a conversation, though, let her lead the conversation to topics that she's interested in.

You don't necessarily have to ask her whether she likes you outright. Ask her if she'd like to hang out -- if she isn't interested in you, she'll probably decline.

Start out by being her friend. Comfort her at bad times. Be yourself and show her you are a nice person.

Tell her you're glad she called, for starters. Then, ask her about her day or see if you can get her talking about something she's interested in. Maybe, while she's talking, you'll think of something to say.

Try to have a conversation about your feelings for her, and ask her in turn to tell you her feelings and thoughts. Try to find out what the cause of her trust issues are and ask her what thoughts she has on what would happen if she gave you her trust. Also, take the time to think by yourself about why you like her and want to stay in this relationship and tell her what you thought about and how you feel about her. If she can understand what you think about and of her, she gets to understand you more.

Apologize for what you did and tell her it won't happen again. If she doesn't want to talk to you, just give her a little space.

It is okay if the girl doesn't want to talk to you, as talking, like anything else, is a skill to be practiced. Find another girl you are interested in and try to talk to her on the phone.

Be honest and direct. Girls usually appreciate that more than just hinting at your thoughts and feelings.

If you have a decent sense of humor, try making her laugh. A good laugh will usually loosen someone up and make them more likely to talk to you. You could also go the direct route and just ask her why she doesn't want to talk to you.

You can try texting her to see if she will answer that way. However, if she doesn't want to talk to you there is nothing you can do. You should find another girl who does want to talk to you.

Ask her about what it's like at her school!

Ask her if she'd like to hang out, and set up a specific time and place to meet.

Always be honest with her. If she thinks you're just feeding her lines, she's not going to feel comfortable with you.

You shouldn't. If she's already in a relationship, you should respect that and maintain a friendship with her without any kind of romantic pressure.

It depends on the depth of your relationship. Take care not to call her too frequently and annoy her. You want her to be happy to hear from you.

Follow the instructions listed in the article above.

You should try to sit down and have an honest discussion with her, and ask directly. If you think she's not telling the truth, maybe she doesn't find you trustworthy or approachable. If this is the case, don't be offended but do try to show her that you are. Try not to pry. The reason may be something personal she isn't comfortable with sharing, and you should definitely let her keep that private.

Wait a day or two and try calling her again. If she still doesn't call you back, that means she doesn't want to talk to you and you should leave her alone.

You can just go up to her and talk about yourself. You can find out if you have any shared interests, and then talk about that.

Just politely tell her, "I like you as a friend, but I'm not interested in anything romantic." The exact wording can change; the important thing is to be straightforward and honest with her.

Be yourself. If you're trying to impress her, she'll be able to tell and she'll likely think you're being fake. Ask her about herself and try to find some common interests. Also, girls like funny guys, so try making a humorous observation or telling a story about something funny that happened to you.

That's no big deal, just be polite when they answer. Say something like, "Hello, this is [your name], may I please speak to [the girl's name]?"

SHE doesn’t WANT to be in a relationship, that means regardless of if she’s scared of her parents or not, that you don’t have a chance with her. You didn’t say her parents have scared her into not dating anyone, you said she’s scared of her parents AND doesn’t want to be in a relationship. So, you should move on to a girl that is interested in the possibility of having a relationship. Convincing someone to do something they don’t want to do is usually a lot of effort and could be construed as selfish and manipulative.

Approach to him/her in person. Say hello, and state your name, if not familiar. If familiar, simply say hello. You may want to ask how the person is doing, or give the him/her a respectful compliment. This helps the person become more comfortable around you. Talk about where you met or what they like to do. Try to find a common interest with that person.

It's really not a good idea to get a girl's personal information from anyone but herself. If you get along well with her in person, then when you're both alone, it should be okay but otherwise it could come across as creepy.

You could really end it in any way. It doesn't have to be super planned out or anything, just don't be rude. Maybe your parents or siblings are calling for you, or a friend is calling. Maybe if you're talking a bit later you could say that you're going to bed.
