Conversation Tips
Before you ask for their number, it’s good to talk a little bit and get to know them first. This makes it easier to ask for their number later because you already have a friendship. You can start by asking about their work or hobbies.
Here are some questions you can ask to start a conversation:
- “What do you like to do?”
- “What are you up to this week?”
- “What are you doing later today?”
- “Why are you here today?”
- “What have you been busy with lately?”
Talking with new people is a great way to make friends.
When someone asks you these questions, here’s what you can say:
- “Hi, my name is John. What about you?”
- “Hi, I’m Jane. I work at Yahoo. What about you?”
- “I have my own business. How about you?”
- “That’s really cool! I hope your business is doing well.”
- “Thanks! You too.”

Here’s an example of a conversation you can have with someone and asking each other phone number:
Jane: “Hi John! It’s been a long time!”
John: “Oh hi, Jane! How are you doing?”
Jane: “I’m doing good. Just a little tired from work yesterday. How about you?”
John: “I’m fine. What are you up to today?”
Jane: “Just shopping with my mom for groceries. What about you?”
John: “Me too. I need to buy food for a party this weekend.”
John: Do you mind if I ask for your phone number? I’d love to keep in touch.

Jane gives John her phone number and then asks,
Jane: How about you, John? May I have your phone number too?
John: Absolutely! Here you go.
John gives Jane his phone number and they both smile.
John: I look forward to staying in touch, Jane.
