How to make a French line work
A good opener should lead into a real conversation instead of becoming the entire conversation.
Understand the line
Never send a phrase only because it sounds French. Read the meaning and choose wording that fits your real personality.
Keep it short
A short line is easier to pronounce, easier to text and easier for the other person to answer.
Add a question
Ask about their day, favorite café, travel, books, music or plans after the line.
Match the setting
A café line fits a coffee date. A Paris line fits a travel conversation. A romantic line may feel too strong for a first message.
Respect the response
Do not repeat the line or pressure someone who gives a short reply or shows no interest.
Use your own voice
The best result sounds like something you would actually say, not a translated script.
