Peter Start A Conversation Online Using Specific Apps And Websites
After you have joined online communities and built a good reputation, you can begin to put more effort into conversations with individuals that may lead to friendships. This section will look at how to start an online conversation on specific apps or websites. Read our guide for more tips on how to start a conversation online or via text/SMS.
1. Start a conversation on Facebook in a niche interest group
In a group on Facebook, the primary activity is to share photos or other content. Engage regularly with the content and don’t forget to leave comments or questions.
It can be a short, positive comment like “Nice!” Or “I love that!”. A question works even better if you’re curious about something in the shared content.
You’ll begin to recognize others after a few days or weeks of active participation in the group (and they will recognize you).
You can also send a friend request to someone if you have a great conversation. Send a personal note along with the friend request. Tell them who you are, and why you want to be their friend. You can use a message like:
“Hey [name], it’s been great reading your posts on [topic]. “I also love [topic], I’d like to chat with you more about it!”
You might find that your conversation starts to branch off in other directions. You’ll hopefully start to get to know one another and form a relationship.
You can arrange a meeting with your online friend if you have been talking for some time.
There are often regular meetups you can attend. You could also arrange a meeting in a nearby cafe with other members of your group to discuss common interests.
You could also message someone privately to ask if they want to meet up in person. You could, for example, say, “Hey, our conversations about [mutual interests] are really interesting.” Would you like to grab a coffee at some point? “We could discuss [a topic you have been discussing].

Your garden is beautiful! Your fig tree is particularly intriguing to me. If you are open to it, I would love to come and visit your garden in the next few weeks.
You can also find out more about Or
“Hello, I am so curious about your orchids. What about lunch? “I’d like to know more about your collection!”
Some people are eager to meet someone who shares their views, while others will not say yes.
3. Discord: How to start a Discord conversation
You’re part of “chat groups” on Discord. It can be a group of hundreds of people or a group of close friends playing together. Smaller groups work best for making new friends. However, large ones also work.

If they like you, they will reply to your message. It should then be easy to arrange a meeting.
