15 Topics to Talk About With Your Crush
There’s a few things in life that are just obnoxiously nerve-racking: your first job, getting your license, graduating, and of course- talking to your crush. What are you even supposed to talk about? You don’t want to bore him to tears, but you also don’t want him to notice your teeth chattering with nervous jitters. Put your worries to rest and ease your nervous habits by using one (or why not ALL) of these 10 topics to talk about with your crush.
1. Him
What do people absolutely love to talk about no matter what? THEMSELVES. You can’t go wrong with using him as a topic. It not only shows that you are interested in learning more about him, but I guarantee he won’t have a problem rambling on and on about himself- in fact, he will enjoy it. So go ahead and use him as a topic. Get him talking with interesting questions like the traditional “How are you doing today?” or more invasive questions like “What’s your biggest goal in life?” There’s hundreds of questions you could be asking him!
2. Common Interests
If the two of you have something you both enjoy, then talking about this particular topic should be a breeze- and it should be fun, too! Now, it’ll be easy to strike up this convo if you’re sure you share a certain interest (for instance you’re both on a basketball team). But if you don’t know what common interests you share, you might need to do a little bit of prying. This roots back to topic number 1- asking HIM about HIS interests until you find something you enjoy too.
3. His Interests
The best way to get someone to open up and get them talk a lot is to ask them what they find interesting in life. Ensure you keep your crush interested by getting to know his interests. Whether is maybe NASCAR racing or watching documentaries on the deep blue sea, get to know the person you like on a totally different level with this intricate topic.
4. Current Events
When you don’t have anything to talk about, what’s the easiest route to go? Current events, of course. When the convo starts fizzling out or you simply need a conversation starter, try thinking of a cool or interest current event that’s going on in this world. It could be something serious you saw on the News or something silly you saw on TMZ.
5. The Weather
Okay, I absolutely DO NOT mean asking “How’s the weather outside?” I mean, seriously. Don’t do this. You will look like a boring young lady that doesn’t know what to talk about with a guy she likes- and that’s what we are trying to avoid. Instead of saying something traditional like that, kick it up a notch. If it’s extremely hot outside, try saying something like, “Oh my gosh, this heat is ridiculous! I’m in desperate need of an ice cream cone”, in which case we can only hope he will ask you out to a date at Cold Stone. At the very least it will get the conversation kick-started.
6. Life Experiences
This could end up being a really hilarious conversation about some of the most embarrassing moments of your life, but it could also end up being a rather serious convo where you discuss some major events that have happened during your lifetime. Either way, discussing life experiences is a great topic because the convo is practically endless. (Not to mention you’ll find out a TON more about this special someone you like!)
7. Compliments
Who doesn’t love a good compliment? I certainly can’t thin of anyone. Compliments not only make you feel good, but they are also excellent conversation starters. You could start off by telling him how awesome he looks in his new shirt, and the next thing you know you’re talking about the place he bought it from- which just so happens to be one of your all-time favorite shops. Look at that! A simple compliment led to a common interest, which obviously led to a long conversation with your crush. Oh- and he feels great about himself because a cute girl thinks he looks awesome in his new shirt. Win!
8. Anything Funny
Okay, ladies. I can’t stress this enough: men LOVE it when a woman has a sense of humor. So what better way to show your crush you have a rockin’ personality than by striking up a silly conversation? You could start off with a hilarious joke you heard, or you could bring up a funny topic you heard on the television earlier. The point is to make him laugh, and let the funny convo take off from there. Hopefully he will have a few funny things to add so the two of you can laugh the afternoon away!
9. Work/School
If the two of you work together or go to the same school, this particular topic will come especially easy. You could talk about the workplace and what you love/hate about your job. You could talk about how terribly hard the math homework was last night. This could lead to a really intriguing conversation about where you see yourself in 5 years, what college you want to attend, what you plan on studying, or whether you’re planning to just drop school/work and go backpacking around Europe for a few months.
10. Questions Galore
At the end of the day, it all comes down to the questions. You have a crush on a guy, so you probably don’t know TOO much about him. There’s really no better way to get to know someone than by asking them questions. Plus, 99% of the population loves to answer questions. It makes us feel special! Ask him what his favorite band is. Ask him what his dream career is. Ask him what he’s doing this weekend. Whatever you do, just keep the questions rolling. This will definitely spark a conversation!
11. Family
Once you two start talking about family, you may find the both of you in a never-ending conversation with each other. This type of topic gives a great opportunity for you to really get to know more about each other. You can work to understand each other’s backgrounds, where you both come from and what your families are like. The convo may get just a tiny bit deep, especially if things like childhood and childhood memories get brought up. But in the end this is a talk-worthy topic to touch on!
12. Friends
Most people love talking about their friends. Usually because your friends are just as important as family and they tend to make a huge impact on your lives. Reminiscing about friendships and memories with good friends always keeps the discussion flowing smoothly. It could potentially bring a smile to your crush’s face and get him laughing, but sometimes it can do the opposite, so tread lightly. However, it will surely keep your tongues on a roll.
13. Sports
Most guys love talking about sports. Not all, but most. Bringing up sports could get him talking to you for hours and hours. It will especially keep the gears turning if you also love sports, too. You can talk about your favorite sport and your favorite players, as well as how well your teams are doing currently and what games you would like to see in the future. Who knows, maybe you could even ask him to see a game together! That’s the goal, isn’t it? To make future plans? Wink wink.
If he doesn’t love sports and neither do you, then you can move on and try the next topic.
14. Music
A lot of people say that music is everything to them in life. Sometimes music helps shape people into who they have become today and at times they hold their favorite music very dear to them. Bringing up music can brighten up your conversation with your crush. Everyone loves getting into a deep conversation about their favorite bands or artists. You can give each other ideas of new music to listen to or encourage them to listen to something you love and vice versa. Not only can music create a stronger bond between you, it can also give you an idea of what type of person your crush is.
15. Favorites
Be prepared, the list of favorites could go on and on and on… Everyone has a favorite something in every category. Ask him what his favorite food is. Then move on to things like colors, places to go, clothing brand, movies, television shows, animals, etc. There is an endless list of things you can discuss when it comes to all of his favorite things in the world and it will give you the chance to get to know him in ways you never knew him before! Maybe his favorite foods and movies are your favorite, too. You will never know until you ask!
What are some of your favorite topics to discuss with your crush?

You should take this time to determine if this relationship is viable. If he is an adult and you are not, then your relationship may come into social or legal difficulties. While you are in school and he is not in school, both of you will have many interactions with other people. Speak with him about your thoughts and feelings if you feel that it would be appropriate to do so. Have a great day, Lili!

She has informed you that she wants you to wait for the right time. She is not ready to maintain a romantic relationships with you at this time. Ensure that you continue to share your kindness and compassion with everyone in your life. This will bring you many benefits in the future. Make a decision about what you for for your future, and take appropriate action. Have a great day, James!

So I like this guy from my church group. He is always hanging out with his best friend and me with mine. I’ve tried to even say hey to him but I never get the chance. My best friend doesn’t even know I like him. He’s also 2 years older than me so that’s also a problem. and on top of that, he’s pretty much always on his phone. In a couple of weeks, our church group is going to California and I wanted to talk to him there. When I do, how do I know if he actually finds me cute instead of an annoying little girl? (I’m 14 BTW)

This person’s response is a reflection of confusion or uncertainty. It is possible that they were not aware of your feelings. It is possible that they are being dismissive. Perhaps you will find benefit in speaking with that person again. If you decide that this relationship is viable, then spend additional time with that person. Ensure that this person treats you with respect. Have a great day, Shen!

This guy and I like each other and we talk daily. The only thing is he’s very shy and doesn’t show affection to me in person but he does on the phone. I’ve told him that he should show me more affection in a nice way and he still doesn’t do it. I know he’s shy but I don’t want to wait forever for him to show me he likes me.
web admin
July 1, 2018 at 10:20 pm
It is possible that he feels more comfortable sharing affection over the phone. He may be uncertain about how to share himself in person. He has shown you that he is interested in nourishing a relationship with you. Perhaps speak with him in person about your thoughts and feelings. Explain to him what you would like him to do. Allow him to share himself with you as well. Have a great day, Athena!

If you ask him about what his favorite sport is, what sports he plays, what music he listens to, or what he likes to do in his free time, you’ll probably have a few conversations while you’re FaceTiming. That’s what I’ve done and now I know he really likes me back (I just had to start a few conversations with him and now we FaceTime and text a lot). Idk if this helps you, but it helped me

It sounds as though you are aware that he is in a relationship. If that is the case, then do not attempt to nourish a relationship with him. Focus your emotional energy elsewhere. Do not attempt to maintain a relationship with him at this time. If he flirts with you, then do not respond. Have a great day, Shaz!

It is certainly possible that he is interested in developing a relationship with him. It is always beneficial to act in kind and compassionate ways.

Hi! I’ve been on a date with this gorgeous guy and I know he’s interested in me since his best friend told me so. When he texts me he’s really careful with the way he writes so he can sound smart. We went on this date and he told me he wanted to do it again, but he never set a date. How can I set a date without looking pushy?
web admin
March 31, 2018 at 12:56 pm
He has shared his thoughts and feelings with you. He may be shy or uncertain how to ask you on another date. You seem as though you would be comfortable reaching out to him. Speak directly and honestly with him about your thoughts and feelings. Attempt to set another date, as it is likely that he is interested in nourishing a relationship with you as well. Have a great day, Helen!

He is not wasting your time. He is attempting to care for himself and just was released from jail. He is interested in developing a life that ensures that he does not return to prison. Take this time to determine what you want for your future. Share your kindness and compassion with him, as this will ensure that he is less likely to return to a life that will lead him to jail. Have a great day, Mo!
