If you’re out and about, try going somewhere that’s a little secluded, like a park. Stay away from anywhere too loud, like a crowded coffee shop or restaurant.
Think about the background info you already know about this boy for some good conversation topics. Does he have pets? Does he play sports? Do you two go to the same school together? Does he have any siblings? Any and all of these can be used to spark a conversation!
“That shirt really brings out the blue in your eyes. ” “Your hair looks so nice! Did you get a haircut?” “You have the best laugh. ”
Try something like, “How’s school going? I’m having a tough time adjusting after summer break. ” Or, “What’s your favorite thing to do on the weekends?”
“Would you rather eat pizza for every meal or drink a glass of milk with every meal?” “Would you rather fight 10 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?” “Would you rather be stuck on a deserted island or only watch reality TV for the rest of your life?”
“Any fun plans this weekend?” “What are you doing on Friday night?”
“Have you seen that new documentary on Netflix about polar bears?” “I just got tickets to go see my favorite band, I’m so excited. ”
“What do your parents do?” “Do you like hanging out with your little brother?” “Is your older sister cool?”
“Are you enjoying the single life?” “How’s your love life?” “Any romantic interests going on lately?”
“What’s your favorite way to wind down at the end of the day?” “How do you relieve stress?” “Have you done any self-care recently?”
Bring it up by saying something like: “What’s something really embarrassing that happened to you as a kid? Mine was when I accidentally called my teacher Mom. The whole class laughed at me!”
It can be tough to look into the camera for the entire video chat. Try to look at the camera while he’s talking, then switch to looking at the screen when you say something.
If he smiles back at you, it’s a good sign that he might like you, too.
Try to only do this once or twice throughout your video call, otherwise it could look a little silly.
This is especially important if you like this boy or you want to ask him out later. The more he gets to know the real you, the better your future relationship will be.
