Best Way to Start a Conversation?
| Fri, 11-12-2004 - 1:02pm |
I am looking for everyone's opinion as to the best way to start a conversation with a guy you are interested in.
I have seen this guy at a local bowling alley the last few weeks (I visit some friends who bowl - but I don't bowl myself - he does bowl for another team). I think he's noticed me checking him out, as he kept coming by me last week. I didn't even realize it at first as I was busy talking to someone else. I really want to talk to him next week, but need that "great" opening line. I thought about using the "I am sure that I know you from somewhere, you look really familiar". I have used this line before and works ok. I believe that I know his name (TOM) - noticed it on the board last week.
Let me know any ideas you may have!

Girl, you two already have eye contact, he is aware that you are there, he was hanging around near you, what else do you need? You just completely relax, be your dashing, sweet, self-assured wonderful self, and next time he comes close (or you just happen to be close to him), you look at him, hold your smiling gaze at him for a second or two, and just say... "Hi!"... He'll smile, say Hi back, and hopefully things will go from there... Just go with the flow. If he's on the shy side and no words are coming out of his mouth, you just say something about the game, about bowling, about how you'd so like to learn how to play... I wouldn't suggest memorizing a line, I would instead try to relax and just be myself, as sweet and friendly as I am... What man could then resist?
I might also add that patience is the key element. Things may not happen right away as you'd like, but while you're being friendly, sweet and charming, remain patient and not too eager. But I agree with Imagda lena on this one. He is aware of you and the eye contact is there. Just smile and say hello to him and it should go from there. ;-)
just to w/ the flow. eg. if he checks you out walk up to him and be like hey how's your game going tonight? or something like that...nah forget it i dont have any valid suggestions. but dont plan it
thanks again!
