Let’s get started. Now that you have spotted the woman across the room from your seat, how do you break the ice? You can make a lasting impression by using smooth rizz lines for a girl. How to charm your girlfriend’s socks off.

Keep it Real. Nobody likes fakes. Be genuine when you compliment someone. It’s simple, but effective: “I could not help but notice the contagious smile of yours from across the table.” This shows that you have noticed something about her, and not just thrown out general flattery.

Humor is the best tool to use. A good laugh is the best way to break the ice. Timing is key. It’s important to avoid coming across as trying too much or, worse yet, insulting her with an ill-timed joke. You can try something lighthearted, like “Do you own a map?” If you deliver it with charm and a smile, “I just got lost in my eyes,” this can be a great way to get the message across.

Storytime! Imagine this: A guy was at a cafe and asked a woman if she had any recommendations for good reads. He said he’d just moved to town, so he wanted some comforting books for lonely nights. They talked for many hours, comparing their favourite authors and genres. What is the moral of this story? It is not always necessary to show genuine interest.

Find common interests when discussing them. You can ask questions to get more information than a simple yes/no answer. Asking “What has been your highlight this week?” shows that you are interested in her experience and opens the door to deeper conversation.

Confidence is the key to being bold. There’s a thin line between arrogance and confidence. You seem to be someone who is confident and knows what she wants. Mind if I come along for coffee some time? It’s direct, but respectful.

Your body language should be inviting and open. Keep eye contact, but do not stare at her like an alien. It makes you more approachable, and it shows that you are enjoying your interaction.

Save the deep confessions until later. You could mention that you enjoy spontaneous road trips, or cook Italian food at weekends as a way to relax after a stressful work week.

Listen more than speak. It is much more attractive to listen actively to what the other person has to say than to wait for you to speak again.

Anecdote alert! My friend met his girlfriend in an art gallery and asked her what caught her attention first. After spending hours talking about their different interpretations of artworks, they began to discuss deeper issues such as life perspective. Now the two are inseparable.

Last but not least, and this may sound clichéd: just be you! The authenticity of your voice will shine through brighter than any scripted line.

You now know how to get your girlfriend’s attention and keep the conversation flowing like butter on toast.
