Person help: What are good conversation starters for an online conversation with a person I don’t know but would like to know? - Help.com

whereabouts are you talking about? MSN? FB? Here? online dating site? chat board?

it depends on the atmosphere of the environment and what you want out of the relationship…
“hey, I like that picture. Is that you/did you take that? Wow! Where is it? Oh really, did you ever go to __?”
Or if no picture:
“Hey, I like your name. How’d you come up with that/ where’s it from? Oh, you’re French? Cool, my mom speaks french. Comment ca va? :)”
Or if you’d prefer:
“Hey, I’m dchiibo. I was just watching this really cool movie (reading this book) (listening to this music), and I was looking for someone to chat to about it. Have you ever seen ___?” (Helps if you can snoop their profile first to find something you have in common)
“Whatcha up to?” works too.

Nice lol!!! But make sure you know a subjects before you go talk abou it!!!

im pretty flirty… if it is someone your interested in… i would just start off with things like “hey cutie” and it flatters them so it just makes them want to keep talking to you atleast from my past experiences its worked

Can’t you just make something up? Do you walk down the street on your own??
