If you’ve ever spotted someone across the coffee shop and thought “I should say something!” Just to panick and just stared into your muffin like it had the answers… this one’s for YOU.
5 conversation starters to help you talk to that certain someone.
Here are the Top 5 Ways to Start a Conversation With Your Crush that’ll make them smile, not sprint.
🎯 #5 – “I need your opinion…”
Asking for advice is the ultimate cheat code. People LOVE giving their opinion.
Try: “Hey, I’m torn — iced vanilla latte or cold brew?”
Boom. Now you’re chatting, caffeinated, and potentially cuffed by fall.
😂 #4 – “That was hilarious… what do you think?”
React to something around you — a weird sign, a barking dog in sunglasses, anything!
Shared laughs = instant connection.
Just don’t force it… nobody likes someone who preps jokes like it’s open mic night.
📱 #3 – “You look like someone who…”
Fill in the blank with something lighthearted or quirky.
Try: “You look like someone who has VERY strong cereal opinions. Lucky Charms or Cap’n Crunch?”
It’s playful, it’s unexpected, it shows you’re not afraid to vibe.
🎵 #2 – Music is the move.
Comment on what they’re listening to (if they’ve got earbuds in) or what’s playing nearby.
Try: “Wait — are you seriously listening to Taylor Swift and not crying? Teach me your ways.”
Music bonds souls. Or at least gets a convo started before your coffee gets cold.
🔥 #1 – Give a non-cringey compliment.
Forget the overused “You have nice eyes.” Say something real.
Try: “I like your style — it’s giving main character energy.”
Simple. Smooth. Not desperate. You’re welcome.
Most of the time these work like a charm. So if you're looking for the way to start the conversation with someone...this might be the perfect roadmap.
Now go forth and flirt responsibly. And hey — if it works, name your first pet after me!
