When you're figuring out what to say to a girl, and what questions to ask her, you basically have two options: open ended questions and close ended questions. These are examples of open questions. Open questions are great for beginning the conversation, and they also come in handy for enhanced dialogue in case the conversatin becomes stagnant.
Your chances of getting past the first 10 seconds of interaction increases dramatically when you start with an open-ended question.
What is an open question? This is any question that cannot be answered by a simple "Yes" or "No." They require a more detailed response.
Here are some examples of questions that are not open-ended. These questions are generally answered with only one word and so you should avoid asking these questions if it's the first time talking to a girl you like
• How are you today?
• Do you need any help with this?
• Can I help you find something?
• Do you come here often?
So what is the problem with this type of close-ended question? Actually nothing. The above examples are good interactions with the girls. But you want more than just basic communication – you want to talk.
Open ended questions are great for getting girls to talk. They allow you to keep the conversation flowing.
And the best part? You can come up with your question to fit the occasion.
For example if you see a girl at the gym, you might ask, "What kind of exercises do you do here?" But if you're in the grocery store, you might say, "I've never tried that fruit before. How does it taste?"
Now this is not to say you should put off the closed questions altogether. They come in handy sometimes when you're with a girl like when you ask for her name (which is what you will hopefully ask at some point).
Remember, first impressions are everything, so try to be prepared to make your first impression. I'll share some examples of open questions in future post, so be sure to check back soon.
We would love to hear from you. Ask questions or offer your recommendations anytime!
