Firstly, it’s good to have an interesting personal story that means a lot to you and reflects your personality. So have a think and work a story through in your mind. Here are a few things to consider:

  • Your personal story should best portray you and be very memorable. Such stories can make an impression quickly and be a fast way to flirt. But it’s important to keep it short so you can convey your personality and make an immediate connection. This story will get across the kind of person you are whether you’re fun, adventurous, entertaining, or kind. Your match will understand in a very short period just what you are like. And it’s important to remember that stories always leave an impression.
  • Having a story lined up will relax your match so they don’t feel pressure to talk all the time. They can sit back and listen. It can often feel a bit awkward when you start flirting so it’s the perfect way to help the conversation flow. By sharing these stories you can both take turns to take the stage and reveal something about your life. And that will help the interaction move along nicely.
  • If you have a story lined up when you date it will make you feel confident that the chat won’t run dry. You may feel nervous when you start dating so it you have one or two personal stories to share then everything should feel more laid back. If the conversation feels like it’s slowing down then you can pick up the pace with your story.
  • There are always times when you need a little conversation to cover over any embarrassing silences, both online and offline. For whatever reason, you may always run into a conversational dead-end. So your personal story can turn attention away from such a situation and concentrate your mind on something else.

Here are a few tips for expressing your personal stories:

Unexpected activity: Try to include an anecdote about something you did that was out of the ordinary or exciting. Such a theme is always a big hit and will reveal that you like laughter and doing something different.

Travel: Sharing a travel adventure is always interesting no matter what the ending. It will reveal that you enjoy the world and are prepared to try anything in life. Discussing a trip will also take them on a journey and can often lead to new topics.

Social life: Reveal something about your social life – a play, movie, or even just an evening with friends. It will not only show you like to party but that you are a social person with friends. It’s a great way to show how much fun you are!

Unpredictable ending: Telling a story that has a mystery ending will tantalize the person you’re talking to. They will be keen to hear what happens next. Retain interest in your story by holding something back until the very end. The surprise factor will make a big impression.
