By on July 13, 2016

One of the most frightening things about having a crush is the fact that you’ll probably have to talk to them at some point in time. Just the thought of going up and saying, “hi” can leave you sweating, shaking, and really nervous and you haven’t even done it yet!

We all get nervous before talking to our crush simply because we are scared. We fear rejection and we’re afraid they won’t like us for who we are. The only way to get over that is to realize that if you be yourself.

It can seem hard to think about what to talk about with your crush but lucky for you, we have everything you need in order to strike up a conversation with your crush that they’ll never forget.

Starting your very first conversation with a crush can be the hardest simply because you don’t know much about them. This is what you can talk about for the first time.

  1. Your Surroundings

There are conversation starters all around you if you pay close attention. Walk up to your crush and mention something about the person over the way picking their nose or talk about how long the line is if the two of you are near each other. Use your surroundings to spark up a conversation for the first time.

  1. Introduce Yourself

One of the easiest things to do in order to talk to your crush for the first time is to just walk up and introduce yourself. Maybe you have a class together or see each other often but they don’t really know who you are. Just tell them your name and that it’s funny how you keep seeing each other. It’s like the universe wants you to meet and you’re just giving it what it wants.

  1. Ask Them for Help

People are pretty much driven to help others – especially if they’re asked to because it’s just polite. So if you’re really desperate to talk to your crush, ask them to help you out with something. Better yet, pretend to drop something near them and wait until they pick it up. This will spark a thankful conversation and you can talk about why you’re so clumsy that day.

  1. Talk About Current Events

This is a classic way to start a conversation with your crush. Bring up something prominent in the news lately and ask if they’ve heard about it. If they haven’t you’ll be able to fill them in and if they have you can ask for their opinion on it.

  1. Discuss Mutual Friends, Classes, etc.

If your crush is a friend of your friend, you can easily discuss something that friend did and start a conversation that way. You can also bring up a class that the two of you have together or even talk about the same teacher if you’re not in the same exact class.

What to Talk About Over Text

It’s always easiest to get to know someone by learning about their favorites. Ask them what their favorite movie is, food, color, etc. You’ll be surprised how fast a conversation will form when you both love the same thing.

  1. “Accidentally” Text Them

This technique has been used for a long time because it almost always gets a conversation going. Send them a text but make it read like you meant to send it to someone else. Something as simple as, “Ugh! My dog got loose again, (insert wrong name here),” is enough to get them to reply and you can start talking about your dog on the loose!

  1. Send Funny Picture Messages

This is my favorite way to start a conversation with my crush. All you have to do is find a funny picture online that reminds you of them and just send it their way. It’ll give them a laugh and they’ll definitely be ready to talk and discuss the picture afterwards.

Tell them some crazy, eventful thing that happened to you that day. Let them know about your stress at school or work and it’ll definitely spark a conversation of some kind with them. They’ll ask you in detail about those things and the conversation will keep rolling.

  1. Tell Them About Something New You Learned

You learn something new every single day whether you realize it or not. This is a great way to not only talk about something to your crush, but you can even teach them a thing or two. It doesn’t have to be super dramatic as long as it’s interesting, it’ll start a conversation.

  1. Ask About Their Day
