Make the first step smaller
Instead of setting the goal ‘make them like me’, choose something more specific: ask about a book or respond to a familiar topic. You can prepare a draft and remove unnecessary apologies. For an in-person meeting, suggest a quiet place and a short duration. These are everyday ways to make the format more comfortable; they do not replace individual support if your feelings seriously interfere with daily life.
- Prepare one simple opening.
- Choose a comfortable format and a clear topic.
- Evaluate the attempt by the step you took, not someone else's reply.
A place to start
Choose a relevant example and adapt it to your situation. Do not assume someone has interests they have not mentioned.
I'm a little shy about starting conversations, but I liked your profile. Which recent experience would you like to repeat?
I find it easier to chat a little first. How about starting with a question about your favourite kind of day off?
Prepare your own version
Make the first step smaller: Choose one step and write down how you would like to suggest it.

What else is useful to know
Do I need to hide that I am nervous?
Not necessarily. A brief, honest admission is fine if it makes you feel more comfortable. You are not obliged to explain your feelings to a stranger in detail.
What is available in GuessWish?
GuessWish offers ways to meet people through visual choices, have conversations and chat with AI. These are separate formats. Check the interface for available features, terms and the prices of individual actions.
Can you guarantee a connection or a reply?
No. Interest, replies and willingness to meet depend on the other person. The examples on this page help you start a conversation but do not promise an outcome.
