  1. Ask an open-ended question . An open-ended question requires more than a "yes" or "no" answer, so it's a great way to get a conversation going. Any open-ended question that piques her interest will work. You could try an ice breaker question, something a little flirty, or a random question to learn more about her. For example: [1]
    • What kind of stuff do you like to do on the weekends?
    • What’s a pretty girl like you doing on a site like this?
    • What good books have you read recently?
    • What’s your idea of the perfect day?
    • If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
  2. Just say hi . Sometimes simplicity is best! Striking up a conversation with a simple hello will let her know you’re interested in talking without putting too much pressure on her. Try something like: [2]
    • Hi! How’s your day going so far?
    • Just wanted to say hi!
    • Hey, what have you been up to lately?
    • Hi, hope your week is going well.
    • Hey, what’s up?

    Expert Answer
    Consider having someone you really respect look over your online profiles to help you determine what information you should include or take out. A lot of times, we think we're being funny or being ourselves, and it really does help to have another person review it with you. Also, rather than just describing yourself with adjectives in your profile, try being specific. If you're creative, for example, say why and how you are creative.

      About This Article

      Article Summary X

      To talk to girls online, start by adding a profile picture that shows you in the best light, since this will be the first thing a girl sees about you. When you first message her, ask how she’s doing or just say hello. Then, ask open-ended questions, like, “What do you like to do for fun?” to find out about her. When you find something you both like, ask deeper questions about that and tell her about your own opinions. Don’t be afraid to compliment her once or twice during the conversation to let her know you like her. If you live near the girl you’re talking to, ask to meet up once you’ve been talking for a while to take your relationship to the next level. For more tips, including how to interact with a girl on social media, read on!
