A proper introduction: more than just a name
When you see a girl you are interested in, make sure your greeting is not limited to “Hi” or “Hello.” A strong introduction makes it memorable and presents you in an exciting light. For example, you can say: “Hey, I’ve seen you a few times and really admire your style. I’m Tom, by the way” . It is personal, complimentary, and gives her a great opportunity to react to your words in a friendly manner.

Find commonality
A common interest or experience is the best way to start communication. You can use the environment for the conversation, mutual friends, or other possible connections. Thus, if you are at a party, you can say: “How do you know John? I am friends with him since high school” . This is a subtle way to divide your story and get her message in response.

Ask an open question
Then, to alleviate the effects of silence and avoid the answer “yes” or “no,” it is advisable to ask open questions. Thus, “What do you like to do on weekends?” it’s better to ask “Do you like music?” as this question invites a detailed answer and subsequent clarifying questions.
-
Complement sincerely
Everyone likes to be flattered and your girlfriend is no exception. Make sure, however, that you are sincere and continuing by highlighting her specific qualities as in the example: “I really appreciate your sense of humor. You always make people around you smile.”

Take care and listen
Listening is as important as talking in a conversation. To show that you are interested in her reactions, always look into her eyes, nod approvingly or share your useful notes or questions. For example, “That’s amazing! How did you get started?” make it clear that you care and want to know more about her.

Share details about yourself
While questions are a key part of the conversation and listen to her response, important information is essential. “You know, you’re into it. I hiked to this place. and it was amazing.” Such dialogue draws attention for her and makes you more vibrant.
Building Confidence Before Approaching
As mentioned above, your confidence level can significantly affect the first impression. Here’s how you can become more confident before you even start talking to her. The way you feel about yourself and your behavior can deeply impact the situation. No degree or level of attractiveness of a man can evoke interest if he lacks self-confidence.

Mind your appearance
Feeling good about how you look can significantly increase your self-confidence. This doesn’t mean you must dress in a full suit and tie. Still, dressing neatly and in a way that makes you feel comfortable can set the right vibe. Choose clothes that fit you and that make you feel at ease. Always lean towards your personal style and wear things that you enjoy and make you feel good about yourself.
-
Positive self-talk
The way you talk to yourself can either bolster your self-confidence or ruin it. Say to yourself a few positive words reminding of successful things you’ve done before. “I’ve been in similar situations many times, and everything turned out well. I can do this!” Positive self-talk can calm you down and make you feel more composed.

Practice makes perfect
If the very thought of beginning a conversation makes you shiver, practice is what you need. Try rehearsing a couple of openings in front of a mirror or, even better, with a friend. By doing so, you can find the right words for the moment and alleviate the fear of saying something silly.
-
Visualize success
One of the common practices not only with shy guys but with Olympic champions, professional speakers, and actors is visualization. Sit back, close your eyes, and vividly imagine having a great conversation with the girl. Imagine her smiling back, both of you laughing, and the conversation flowing naturally. However strange it may seem, it can significantly boost your self-confidence.

Understand body language
Before you say a single word, your body “speaks for you.” Standing tall with your head lifted, forcefully and calmly emboldens you. The same is true concerning a smile. It’s very welcoming and adds confidence to your image. Remember, open body language always evokes reactions, while the closed one says you are not much open for a chat.

Keeping the Dialogue Engaging and Fluid
A good conversation can be delightful and unforgettable. Here’s how to keep the conversation with a girl engaging and free-flowing.
Ask Genuine Questions

Ask her questions to genuinely learn about her, not just to keep the conversation alive. ”Where’s a place you’ve always wanted to travel to and why?” shows that you care about what she likes and where she wants to go.
Respond and Enjoy the Continuity of the Conversation
Your conversation should not just revolve around her answers, though. Share your own experiences and stories. If you have a relevant experience, you should share it. ”I’ve actually had a similar moment when…” can make it feel like you’re building a connection between the both of you.
Inject a Little Humor
Some conversations can naturally be a little uptight no matter how you approach them. Make a tasteful joke or a light observation to make the conversation a little lighter. Make sure your humor is not over the top. Laughing together can create a memento between the both of you.
Keep it Positive
While you can naturally have a negative experience or thing that you want to talk about and vent, it’s often a bad sign if too much of your relationship is doused in negativity. Share positive experiences and things that you enjoy talking about.
Listen

Adapt to the Depth

Recognize Cycles
Feel free to introduce a new, exciting topic if you’re starting to feel that you’re treading worn-out, old ground. Remember to consume content if you wish to have a steady stream of conversation topics. . ”Do you watch ? How do you feel about it?” Lets you into a news cycle conversation.
Encourage Future Conversations
Mention future conversation topics. ”I’d like to hear the rest of the stories about your hikes you have lined up. Can I see the photos?” shows you’re preparing for a future meeting.
