Search Results: conversation starters

So i want to talk to this girl at school but she doesn't have any classes with me and i dont know her. there's this "pickup line" if you wanna call it that which is pretty corny but ever since I've heard it I've always wanted to try it. So when i do see her in the hallway, ill start off by trying to get eye contact and smile, after that ill try saying hi or hey a little, and then the pickup line is do you know how much polar bears weigh? Enough to break the ice... and then introduce myself, start a conversation. Girls what would your reaction be? Is that too corny or would you just laugh/giggle and forget about it? Everyone always says humour plays a big part in winning over a girl, and i would be starting off with a joke... or is the pickup line gonna label me as a loser lol. I think she's, as i saw mentioned before, a more "low profile" girl because i didn't know who she was until a few weeks ago

"Hi...(I assume she would say hi immediately) what chu doing"?

Is that line good enough? Feel free to insert more convis starters or help improvise it.

What do you say when on a dating site/app or someone texts you for the first time, or in-person and they ask "How are you?"
Is this really supposed to be an effective conversation starter? How would you react to someone saying "I'm good" or "Honestly, I'm shit"? If they actually formulate a response that mentions stuff they are doing or thinking about, is that ideal for progressing a conversation? Or is it too much information and you actually wanted a totally generic response?

I don't know what people want from me.
Is this weird to anyone else? Or am I an aspie?

A girl and I have been crushing on eachother for a while now. We've recently started texting, since it's somewhat of a long distance relationship now. Before we started texting, we would talk a lot. Everytime we met up I would give her a penny and ask her "penny for a thought?" She always thought it was the "sweetest, cutest" thing that I would always wonder what she was currently thinking; whether it was important or not. Take make a long story short, now that we text, I always initiate a conversation with "Penny for a thought?" She always responds really positively but I always wonder if she thinks it's too repetitive. What do you girls think? Boring conversation starter or not?
