Recently, while chatting with a few friends about the topic of interacting with girls, we all coincidentally mentioned a common scenario: how to respond when a girl says, "I'm going to eat." Honestly, I've struggled with this question for a long time. In the past, I would just naively reply with "Okay," and the conversation would abruptly end. Looking back, I realize I missed out on so many opportunities.
Later, I discovered that there are many opportunities to deepen relationships hidden in these everyday conversations. For example, a friend shared his experience, saying that every time a girl mentioned going to eat, he would respond with, "Remember to eat well, don't go hungry, and let's continue chatting when you're back." Such a simple sentence not only made the other person feel cared for but also kept the conversation going. Sure enough, that girl often initiated meals with him later on.
This reminded me of a comment from an online friend, who said, "I used to think that chasing girls required learning a lot of techniques, but later I realized that sincerity and thoughtfulness are the most important." Indeed, instead of racking your brains for tricks, it's better to genuinely care for the other person. For instance, when a girl says she's going to eat, you could say, "Enjoy your meal, and remember to send me a photo of your food." This not only expresses concern but also sets the stage for future conversations.
Another important point is to learn to be humorous. For example, you could say, "Go ahead, don't keep the food waiting, and tell me about your culinary adventure when you're back." This light-hearted tone makes the other person feel comfortable chatting with you. A friend of mine used this approach successfully, leading a girl to ask him out for dinner, saying she wanted to share her meal with him.
Of course, humor should be used in moderation, and you should avoid jokes that might make the other person uncomfortable. For instance, an online friend shared a failed attempt where he joked, "Don't eat too much, or I won't be able to carry you," and the girl blocked him immediately. Therefore, the premise of humor is respect for the other person.
In fact, interacting with girls isn't that complicated. As another online friend said, "Just do three things well: be sincere, thoughtful, and interesting." When a girl says she's going to eat, instead of worrying about how to reply, think about how to make her feel your care and humor. Remember, true high emotional intelligence isn't about tricks, but about letting the other person feel your sincerity.
Finally, here"s a little tip: when a girl says she's going to eat, you could say, "I'm about to eat too, how about we have a 'cloud meal' together and share photos of our food?" This approach is not only fun but also brings you closer. Give it a try, and maybe next time, she'll be the one asking you out for dinner.
