As a girl, it’s pretty easy to get any guy’s attention; all you need to do is look at the guy you like. Yet at times, the guy you’re interested may not have noticed you yet. That means you need to be brave and actually speak to him – yes, terrifying, right? However, learning a few conversation starters with a guy you like beforehand helps you out and gives you the confidence to just be yourself.
Confidence is key when trying to start a conversation of any type but when it’s a guy you have your eye on, you’re more likely to stumble over your words. A lot of the worry in this situation comes down to not knowing what to say. How do you actually get that chat started without sounding boring, or worse, weird?
Arm yourself with these tips and just relax!
# Have we met?
Look at the guy you like with a hint of fake recognition, walk up confidently and use this line. “Hi, I’m sorry, but do I know you…? I feel like we’ve met somewhere, but I can’t place you in my mind…”
It’s easy, and even if the guy you like doubts your recognition and your intentions, he’d have to ask a few questions in return which will lead to several more questions to get to know if both of you do know each other.
# Eye contact and a flirty smileIf both of you are sitting in a room for a while, this may be the best way to warm things up. Exchange glances now and then, and look away. But don’t be aloof. Be warm and approachable and smile now and then to let him know that you’re interested in talking to him. It’s not all about words when it comes to conversation starters with a guy, it’s also about non-verbal communication too!
And just to make it easier for him to walk up to you, leave your friends aside and walk past him or stand in an isolated space like you’re trying to make a phone call for a few minutes. If he’s interested, he’ll definitely say hello!
# Can you help me with this?
Make a man feel like a knight in shining armor and he’ll definitely think it’s his lucky day! Plan this step ahead, and as the guy you like walks towards you, ask him to help you with something.
It could be your heavy bags, a car breakdown, or even some help opening your car door or picking the car keys which have accidentally slid under the car. As long as you thank him with your sweetest smile, he’ll definitely stick around to continue the conversation.

Can I use your phone?Create an emergency and any guy will gladly stand up to help you. One of the easiest conversation starters is the phone trick. Walk up to the guy and ask him if you could use his phone because your phone is dead. Just to make your act seem more genuine, fumble with the back panel of your cell phone in a place where he can see you, a minute before you walk up to him.
# Pretend you thought he was someone elseSay something to him, followed by “Oops, I’m sorry, I thought you were someone else!” Pretend like you’re really busy, tap him on his shoulder, and start talking. And just as he turns around, appear startled and use this line. Apologize to him for the misunderstanding, but continue to ask him for some help by using any of the other conversation starters here, be it some help with your bags or something else.
# Smile and beckon him to youSee a guy you like? Exchange flirty glances with him for a while, and you can also use the help of your friends to make it rather obvious that you’re interested in him.
Once you feel like he’s hooked to the staring game, walk away from your friends to a lonely spot and appear busy. But look at him, smile and gesture to him by curling your index finger towards you in a “come here” motion. Blush and play coy, and don’t try to be bossy.
# Would it be okay if I sit here?
This is something we hear all the time, be it in the bus, the train or even at the airport. Use this very line as you come up to a guy and sit next to him. But just as you ask him the question, flash your warmest smile at him so he knows that you’re a warm and approachable person. And before you know it, he’ll try to start a conversation with you. These are the types of conversation starters with a guy that are perfect for beginners because it simply looks like you’re just being polite and not trying to flirt with him!
# I wouldn’t do that if I were you
A perfect line to use when you see a guy while hanging out at a place you’re familiar with. Is the guy you like doing something that he may regret later? Improvise and just use this line. He’ll continue the rest of the conversation.
# How boring is this?
Or how awesome is this, or how screwed up is this! One of the best ways to start a conversation with someone is by using the circumstances around you. Use this line if you’re sitting next to the guy you want to talk to, but are sitting too close to try exchanging glances. Just lean towards him, and say something appropriate to no one in particular and sit back. You can turn towards him and smile if you want. He’ll do the rest.
