Do you need flirty conversation starters?

Sure, some people can start a conversation with “Do you have the time?” and end up married with three kids five years later. But, that is the exception, not the rule.

The way you open a conversation sets the tone for the rest of the night, day, or whenever, plus, potentially, the rest of your relationship. I am not saying you must have the perfect flirty conversation starter to have a chance, but it certainly won’t hurt.

I don’t mean to put the pressure on, but saying the wrong thing right off the bat can really damage your chances.

Picking the right flirty conversation starter that shows your personality, your style, or even your interests is the best way to introduce yourself to someone because it is unique and shows intrigue. [Read: How to flirt with your crush and make them fall hard]

Flirty conversation starters

You now know why having a solid flirty conversation starter is beneficial when it comes to meeting people, but knowing isn’t all it takes. Nerves can prevent you from coming up with something creative on the spot.

And something that gets one person’s attention may not work on someone else. So it is always good to have a selection of flirty conversation starters on standby. This will give you options depending on the situation. And make you feel much more confident when going in for the kill.

1. “I was having a bad day, but when I saw your smile it perked me up”

This could be a flirty conversation starter either in person or online. It isn’t over the top or creepy. In fact, it is simple and sweet. It shows your interest in this person on a basic physical level and doesn’t go too far.

2. “I was trying to think of the perfect word to describe your beauty, but I don’t think one has been invented yet”

The problem with a lot of pickup lines or flirty conversation starters is that they miss the mark. They are either subtle or way too intense and inappropriate.

This is just right. It is sweet and flattering but doesn’t seep into the sexual category.

3. “I’m supposed to be working right now, but I can’t stop thinking about you”

If you aren’t one who really pushes boundaries, you can keep it simple with something like this. You can start a new conversation with a crush or someone you’ve met once or twice by telling the truth.

This shows you’re thinking about them and instead of playing games, you’re being straightforward. [Read: How to flirt with your crush and make them fall hard for you]

Another clever way to flatter someone at the top of a new conversation. This does lean a little bit into pickup line territory, but that isn’t always bad.

I stole this from my favorite show, Charmed, but it worked there, so it should work in the real world. So if you like someone or are even just interested, this is a great way just to put it all out there.

If they say yes, go for it, and see what happens. Making a move like this is the ultimate flirty conversation starter.

7. “I was going to play it cool and wait to message you, but something wouldn’t let me”

There are many different variations of this you could go with, but it is a go-to. It shows again you aren’t interested in playing dating games and just want to let them know you are interested. [Read: Texting your crush – a step-by-step guide to doing it right]

I cannot tell you how many times I have been asked this. Although it may not be the most original flirty conversation starter, it shows you’re down for whatever, and many people are looking for that. [Read: Signs you’re high on wedding fever]

14. “There’s a Harry Potter marathon this weekend. Any interest in binging the whole lot with me?”

I had to add at least one Harry Potter related line into the mix. It can be risky to start a conversation with a flirty line that shows your neediness, but it is very endearing for fellow nerds.

15. “Is this seat taken or do you mind if I Slytherin?”

Sorry, but I had to do another. This Harry Potter pun is just too good not to use. Don’t you think?

If you read this and thought, if someone said that to me I’d be interested, try it out.

Sure, this sort of sounds like a line. It is also pretty flattering. Flirting with compliments may be the most effective way to flirt. This is the ultimate dating app compliment because everyone secretly wants to delete the app. [Read: What every online dater should avoid doing]

17. “I know there is no way you’re single, but my friends wouldn’t let me leave without introducing myself”

There a few aspects of this flirty conversation starter that makes it work. One, you are complimenting them. Two, you clearly have a group of friends that encourage you to take risks. Both of those are good things in my book.

18. “I just want to let you know right now that I sleep with socks on. I know it’s a deal breaker for a lot of people”

Whether this is true or not, and I really hope it’s not, it is hilarious. You are comically offering something personal right in the beginning.
