Online dating may be more convenient than traditional dating but it still works the same way as with the latter. It still follows the same etiquette and in many instances, striking a conversation may take more effort and guts especially when it is the person's first time. If you're new to online dating and you're feeling anxious when it comes to striking a conversation with other site members, then here are some tips to break the ice:
1. Talk something about their 'About Me' section
Why would you look further if you can already start the conversation from the person's profile? Look for interesting facts about the person and talk about them. Don't just throw in questions, learn to listen well, and engage yourself in the conversation, giving your points-of-view.
2. Let your sense of humor flow
If you're naturally a humorous person, this can be a good start for you and the other person. Humor makes each conversation lighter. It eases tension specially if it's the 1st time for these two people to converse. If, however, you think you have little or dry sense of humor then you might want to read more humor books or watch funny shows to bring out that funny side of you. Be careful when giving jokes as it may turn out to be awkward on your part or offensive for the other person.
3. Ask open-ended questions
One way of ending a conversation immediately is to ask closed-ended questions. These questions are those answerable by 'yes' or 'no.' If you like free-flowing conversation, try throwing open-ended questions. Ask about the person's interests and dreams and discuss yours too.
4. Discuss about current events
You don't have to be current events geek to do this and you are not required to throw some hard to digest stock quotes. Try to engage the other person in interesting current news. If you are talking to someone who's from a different country, talking about their current events will surely be something for that person. Don't forget to talk about the current news in your country too.
5. Plan your perfect date together
You should only talk about this if both you and the other person are already in the stage of wanting to get to know each other better. Tell the other person how you wanted to spend the day with him/her. Exchanging ideas about your perfect date is a great way to make each other feel more at ease.
