1. Start with an opener
You don’t need a flashy or overly clever line to start a conversation. A simple, thoughtful opener works wonders like…
“I had the best dream about you, wanna hear it?”
Or…
“I can't stop thinking about how beautiful you looked.”
Why It Works:
Starting with something light and genuine feels natural and doesn’t put pressure on the other person to respond perfectly. Here are more examples:
“Hey, I noticed ....What made you get into that?”
“I just saw [something relevant to a shared interest]. Have you checked it out yet?”
The key is to show genuine curiosity about them or their interests.
3. Compliment Thoughtfully
A genuine compliment can go a long way when it comes to making someone feel seen and appreciated.
Why It Works:
Compliments show that you’re paying attention and value them, which naturally deepens the connection.
How to Do It:
Be specific:
“I really like how you [do something unique].”
"I admire how passionate you are about [their hobby]. It’s really inspiring.”
Thoughtful compliments are more meaningful and avoid coming across as forced.
2. Use Humor (Even If It’s Subtle)
Humor can be a great icebreaker and a way to express your personality without overthinking.
Why It Works:
A playful tone makes
you approachable and creates a fun
atmosphere. Even
shy guys can use light humor to connect. Examples:
If they mentioned they love coffee, you might say:
“So, what’s the official ranking of your top 3 coffee shops”
If you’re unsure how to respond, a playful gif or meme can do the trick.
Don’t worry about being a stand-up comedian—just keep it light and fun.
