How do I start a conversation with my crush?
Open with something specific and easy to answer, then ask follow-up questions.
Start with a simple, friendly opener based on something you share, like a class, hobby, place or recent event. Easy, open-ended questions work better than clever lines.
Your goal is to make the conversation feel natural, not to impress them.
Easy openers
Comment on something you both experience, ask for a recommendation or ask about something they posted or mentioned.
Keep it going
Listen to the answer and ask a follow-up question. Share a little about yourself so it feels two-way.
Build from there
After a few good chats, suggest meeting up. Do not worry about perfect wording; warmth and curiosity matter more.
