Do you want to know how to start a conversation with a guy? Well, have you ever started one? Whether you've tried but it didn't work out well, or you've never tried at all, then this article is for you.

Talking to men is actually very easy, as they’re usually less guarded than women. Why wait for them to make the first move, right?

Read on to find out how to start a conversation with a guy.

Tip # 1: Talk About Sports.

Most guys follow sports news; so if you want to have a lengthy conversation with a guy, try doing your research about the sports team he is supporting.

Don’t even dare try shooting for the moon without reviewing your notes first. Saying something dumb about his favorite team, or the sport in general, will most likely put you in a bad light.

While you don’t have to be as knowledgeable about a sport as guys usually are, it does help if you have at least an inkling of what you’re talking about. Try getting to know the sport and you might find yourself enjoying it all.

Someone I know tried watching wrestling to understand her boyfriend better. To her surprise, she ended up enjoying the whole thing. She’s not a major wrestling enthusiast, but she does know her wrestlers and can name a few of her favorites!

Not a sports fan? That’s fine. Just remember that the more you stand out, the more interesting you are to guys.

Tip # 2: Ask Him Questions.

One good way on how to start a conversation with a guy is to stroke his ego. Ask him about something that happened to your car, or about why everyone’s rooting for this famous basketball player who recently switched teams.

Ask him about something he will surely know how to answer. Of course, you can’t keep asking him questions all throughout the conversation. You have to at least present a few personal insights on the matter, or he’ll get the impression that you’re just pretending to be interested.

Tip # 3: Don’t Dig Too Deep.

Guys might appear more relaxed and off guard, but dig too deep into their personal life and they’ll start retreating for the woods.

Keep the topic of conversation light and easy. Aside from sports and their areas of expertise, talk about food or the new movie that opened in town. Who knows? That just might be the opening he’s been waiting for to ask you out!

It’s easy to learn how to start a conversation with a guy. Unlike many women who like to dissect every sentence, most men take things in stride.
