If you’re tempted to say “I like long walks on the beach and love listening to jazz,” please step away from the boy, return to your house and log onto your local online dating website.
2. Make a comment. If you’re uncomfortable asking a direct question you can make a statement about your surroundings. For example: “This is a great party, I love this music.” Whether they agree or disagree with you, this can be a great conversation starter and might even open up a chance to show your fun loving personality.
3. Give the person a sincere compliment. “Great shirt, where’d you get it?” This will not only start a conversation however will show the person you are interested in them, as compliments are a great flirting technique.
4. You can offer to get HIM a drink. “I’m getting a drink, can I get you one?” This works to break the ice because you are starting the conversation by making them an offer. If the person is interested they may say yes or will offer to come with you to get the drink.
5. Be direct. Ask them if you can join them for a drink. They’ll get the hint fast that you dig them.
His answer to any of these questions can lead to a great conversation so use your imagination when thinking of ways to break the ice. Remember to always keep a smile on your face and just remember to be yourself and have fun. Practice makes perfect so go on and chat up everyone that crosses your path.
