CONVERSATIONAL SENTENCE STARTERS
❝ you wanna know how i know you’re a good friend— not just for me but in general? i always feel better after hanging out with you. ❞
❝ sometimes things aren’t alright and they’re not gonna be okay for a while. and that’s alright. as cliche as it sounds it’s okay to not be okay. give yourself time. ❞
❝ have you even taken the time to let yourself feel it? everything that’s been happening. eventually, you have to slow down and let it feel real. ❞
❝ i’m not really the advice type, but i am damn good at coming up with distractions to forget the bullshit for a while. ❞
❝ was this not what you expected? ❞
❝ i think the whole idea of ‘finding yourself’ is kind of bullshit. we are what we chose to be. we make ourselves. ❞
❝ did you come by for a reason or did you just want some company? ❞
❝ i’m going to tell you this, once, because i think you need to hear it. you deserve more. you should expect more from the world and put in the work to get what you deserve. ❞
❝ i brought some seeds for your garden. i thought about bringing a bouquet but— this way you can grow them and enjoy them longer. ❞
❝ please, stay for dinner? i enjoy your company. ❞
❝ come sit a little while with me. tell me how you’ve been? really. ❞
❝ you don’t know how glad i am to see you made it. here, let me get you a drink. ❞
❝ if you’d like to discuss it in private, we can step outside? ❞
❝ whatever it is you wish to tell me, it won’t leave this room. ❞
❝ well, i’ve been wanting to talk to you. but i don’t really know how to put it all in words. ❞
❝ how have you been sleeping? ❞
❝ don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t quite look well. ❞
❝ don’t feel bad for not knowing— i was trying not to bother anyone. you didn’t know because i didn’t let you. ❞
❝ miscommunication is a shitty trope in sitcoms and it’s even shittier in real life, so let’s just take a moment to breathe. and let’s get on the same page. alright? ❞
❝ is this a time for me to listen or fix it? ❞
❝ i don’t really have anything to say, i just know that i don’t really want to be alone. ❞
❝ could you just…talk to me? it doesn’t have to be anything important. i just like listening to your voice. it calms me. ❞
❝ honestly, it was a long time ago. i don’t really remember the details. ❞
❝ i’m rather proud of you. i don’t say that often, so believe i mean it. ❞
❝ you seem content here. happy, even? ❞
❝ i’m not here to drudge up the past. i’m just hoping we could have a future. ❞
❝ i see you’re not getting much sleep either. should i make us both some tea, then? ❞
❝ are you sure you didn’t want to mention something to me? ❞
❝ are you sure you’re alright? ❞
❝ i’m a fan of your work, actually. ❞
❝ you have more of a reputation than you might think. ❞
❝ you haven’t heard of me? how refreshing. ❞
❝ go on, tell me what’s on your mind. ❞
❝ something is troubling you, yes? ❞
❝ with a smile like that, i can’t help but want to know your secret. what’s got you so cheery today? ❞
❝ come on, you’re clearly upset. and i’m not the asshole who pretends not to notice. ❞
❝ oh, i’m going to enjoy making my first impression with you. how am i doing so far? ❞
