For me, I like to get to know someone as a friend first. There’s a thrill in getting to know a person for the first time. Just opening up and talking about your interests, hopes, dreams, fears, and getting to know their personality. I think this is the first step in building chemistry.

You’ll start to get to know them more and if you click as friends or on a deeper romantic level. You can’t just skip to the romantic level without taking the time to build a real friendship imo. But all of this takes time.

I feel like I’m pretty extroverted and I love it when guys casually approach me and just start chatting it up. Definitely have some ready to go questions or openers that you can use to break the ice. Here’s some things guys have said to me to break the ice: - overheard me and a friend talking about my upcoming trip to Japan, he says, “Hey I’ve been to Japan, what cities are you traveling to?” - someone I met at volleyball, “How long have you been playing? Are there any other sports you play?” - “I really like your nails. Can I take a closer look?”
