“Hey it’s James from Tinder!” “Hey! It’s Marissa from the party last night. ” “How’s it going? This is Sam, we met the other day. ” “What’s up? It’s Candice, Jamie’s friend. ”
“So, we never finished our debate last night: are hot dogs a sandwich?” “I had to leave so early last night that I never heard your answer—did you grow up around here?”
“Where’d you grow up?” “How many siblings do you have?” “What do you like to do for fun?”
“You seem like such a cool person. I’m really glad I’m getting the chance to get to know you. ” “I had such a fun time talking to you at that party the other day. ” “I have such an easy time talking to you. ”
“Have you been watching the new season of Riverdale? I’m almost caught up!” “How long have you been surfing? I’ve been going since I was a little kid!” “Whoa, you like to rollerblade too? I can never find anyone to go skating with me. ”
“Where’s your favorite place to eat downtown?” “Have you read any good books lately?” “What’s your favorite coffee shop in this area?”
An easy way to share things is to talk about yourself, then ask her a similar question. For instance, you might say, “I grew up in Houston, but I moved to Austin when I was 18. Where’d you grow up?” Or, “I’m not a huge fan of baseball, but I love basketball. Do you watch any sports?”
“Hey, do you have any free time next week? I’d love to grab a coffee. ” “Do you have any plans tomorrow? Want to grab dinner?” “I really enjoy talking to you. Would you ever want to continue this conversation in person?”
