BEFORE YOU WRITE
Find something you genuinely want to talk about
A hobby, photo, trip or profile line can provide an easy starting point.
FIRST CONTACT
Write a message that opens the conversation
A short observation followed by an open question works because it immediately gives someone something to answer.
Write naturally
Use roughly the same tone you would use with someone you had just met in person.
THE CHAT BEGINS
Find a pace that feels comfortable for both of you
Not everyone replies at the same speed.
DISCOVER MORE
Ask questions that invite stories
Ask about experiences, preferences or reasons and share your own view too.
WHEN IT FLOWS
Good conversations stop feeling like a technique
When you both bring new topics naturally, simply listen and respond.
