Starting Conversation With A Man

While starting a conversation with a guy can be a nail-biting prospect especially when you think that he is attractive. However, if you can gather enough courage then just go for it, the results may not be satisfactory. Well, here are some simple, easy-to-follow tips and tricks for striking up a meaningful conversation with a guy. You can think about it this way that guys are people to do think of them as friends and believe it or not that boys get nervous while talking to girls. The tips below are likely to work while having conversation with a man.

1. Introduce Yourself:

The most straight forward way to get a guy talking is to walk right up to him and introduce yourself in front of him. It does not matter if he is the new guy at work, the cute boy you have noticed around the school corridors or the handsome stranger at the coffee shop put your shoulders back, set a smile on your face and approach him confidently. Say hi, tell him your name and ask for his if you are lucky then he will take it from there.

  • Once you find out the guy's name then you should use it frequently in the conversation. People like to hear their own name as it is likely to make the conversation more personal and creates a sense of intimacy between you.
  • Say something like "Hi, I have noticed you around here and I just thought I would come over and introduce myself. My name is Kate, what is yours?"  etc.

2. Use the Circumstances Around You:

The easiest ways to start a conversation is to take the advantage of your surrounding circumstances in order to get him talking. This could be literally anything such as from the weather to the traffic, to the results of a sports game. You can either make the comment to him directly or to yourself, hoping he sees it as an opportunity and responds.

  • If start your conversation by commenting on the weather may seem like a mundane conversation starter but it works nevertheless. You should try saying something like "Beautiful day, huh? Do not you just love the sunshine?" While starting a conversation with someone you do not know, the point is to break the ice and open a line of communication first. Once you have done that then you are able to move on to more interesting topics.
  • If you are sitting next to an attractive guy on the train or an airplane then try sighing and muttering to yourself about the delay or bumpiness of the ride. If he is interested then he will take this as his signal to respond in sympathetic agreement. Once you have his attention then you can take it from there.

3. Ask Him for Help:

Men love to help women as they are biologically wired that way. So engaging the damsel in distress routine from time to time might just help to get the conversation going. Appeal to his manly muscle and strength. This will give him a confidence boost and make him feel more comfortable around you allowing conversation to flow more freely.

  • If you are struggling with a heavy stack of files or a bulky box then you can ask if he can help to lighten the load or if you just cannot seem to open the coffee jar or unscrew the cap of your water bottle then see if he will oblige.
  • Make sure to smile and thank him sweetly after he helps you as everyone likes a little appreciation when they do a good deed. In this way he will always be ready to jump at the opportunity to help next time round.
  • This step also comes with a warning. You should do not overdo it. You want a guy is respect as well as his attention, so you should not play the damsel in distress too often or you will come across as helpless.

4. Compliment Him:

Everyone like compliments just as much as girls do in the same way the guys expect, so paying your guy an enthusiastic, genuine compliment will definitely get you in the good books and this will help you to optimize his interest in the conversation. Paying him a compliment is a great conversation starter as you can be as intimate or as casual as you like, depending on how confident you are feeling.

  • If you are feeling forward then compliment him either for his amazing eyes or his killer six-pack or his George Clooney smile. This will let him know that you find him physically attractive which all guys love to hear.
  • If you are aiming to be a little less obvious then you can compliment him on his snappy suit, his funky band tee or his great-smelling cologne, letting him know that you think he has great taste.
  • You should compliment him on his performance at work or on the sports field if you are present at the time. You should tell him that he did a great job on the presentation or that he played really well. He will know that you were paying particular attention to him.
  • Alternatively, you can compliment him on something a little less personal. If you run into him walking his dog then compliment the dog instead. Tell him that you approve of his choice of sandwich at lunch. Anything that grabs your attention and gets him talking.

5. Ask a Question:

Questions are great conversation starters especially if you are feeling a little awkward, as they provide you with an excuse to talk to the guy under the pretence of seeking out information. The questions themselves can be as short and simple as you like. Just try to avoid questions that can be answered with a short "yes" or "no" as this can lead to awkwardness, causing the conversation to fizzle away.

  • Phrase questions in such a way that he will be forced to think about the answer or at least provide more than a monosyllabic response. Men can be a little dull at times so you should try to help them along a little. He will soon realize that you are interested in him than in finding out what time it is.
  • Try to ask him if he has a pen you could borrow or if he has watched the basketball game last night. At this point it is just about grabbing his attention and getting the conversation going. So you should not worry too much about the topic.

If you observe these tips then it will help you to start a conversation with the guy whom you think is the most attractive person. Having a good conversation with the guy will help to bring closer both of you.
