How do you start a conversation with a boy?

Open your mouth and release sound…..

And start of with simple, easy talk that isn’t personal and that is relatively trivial. Talk about the coming night.

I simply say, “Baby, ooh-ooh, baby, my sweet baby, you’re the one.”

@dpworkin I have a feeling that wouldn’t work on a guy, but I think you have the right idea.

walk up behind him, slap him in the butt.
and say “whats up prom buddie?”

The song that’s from asks the question, “How Do You Call Your Lover Boy” and what you see above is the answer. I guess you don’t remember Peaches and Herb.

What makes you think hansom boys take pretty girls to the prom for the good conversation? Worry about that later if at all.

“What’s Up?” and then go from there

Well hopefully if he’s a cool guy, he’ll try to start the conversation as well. So if he starts something go with it and if not just be yourself. Maybe start with talking about the prom and how you feel about it (like if your excited about it). Hopefully this can lead to other subjects. Maybe even talk about the restaurant and what food you ordered and such. Starting conversations can be hard, but once you get them going they can really go anywhere.

What not to talk about: hair, nails and make-up. Guys could care less about what it took for you to get ready for the prom.

Why do you want to go? If you’re not mature enough to speak to a boy.

Just because it’s prom doesn’t mean the conversation has to be any different than when you are meeting a guy anywhere else. Find out his hobbies, his favorite foods, recent books he might have read, music, recent movies, etc. Chances are good that he will be really passionate about at least one of these topics and then you go from there. Have fun at prom! Be safe.

If I was girl-me going on a prom date with boy-me, I would talk to boy-me about the computer games and industrial music. Because that’s what boy-me and girl-me both are interested in.

Ask him what kind of music he likes…what are his favorite bands are…99% of people will be able to answer that immediately and it usually leads to a lengthy conversation where you can also share your favorite music

Say “Hello.”

@wundayatta Beat me to it. Say “Hello.”

SMILE….....and say “Lets have an adventure”

We all like talking about ourselves. Ask him what he likes to do, who he likes to listen to, what he thinks of the prom night, any frustrations he might have, etc. Keep him talking about himself and you’ll make him feel great. If something comes up in the conversation that you can ask about, follow it up. Getting people to talk about themselves is the secret to making people like you.

Boys are really, really simple. All you need to do is talk about him & he’ll be thrilled.

I might have the same problem coming up. I asked a guy to prom and I’m still waiting for him to say yes or no. I have so much trouble starting conversations with him. Usually I find things that we have in common and bring those things up. Like we both take french classes at school so I’ll start talking to him in french. Other than that, music, video games, and him are topics that always work out. :)

If you know anything about his hobbies and interests, ask him about them. (Or, if you don’t know, ask him what they are.) The suggestion about what music he likes is a good one. With most guys, once you get them talking about themselves, the hard part is getting them to be interested in learning about you and your activities.
