In daily chat, we often use the question "Are you there?" to ask whether the other party is online. However, this kind of question seems a bit bland and even a bit indifferent. So, how to express the same meaning in another way to make the other party feel more excited? Here are a few methods for you.
1. Hello, how have you been lately?
This sentence can not only ask about the other person's current situation, but also shorten the distance between them. If the other person answers in more detail, you can also find common ground and start a more in-depth communication.
2. Hey, I just remembered that you like watching movies, right?
By mentioning the other person’s interests and hobbies, you can attract the other person’s attention and make him/her feel that you are paying attention to him/her. Next, you can recommend a movie you like to the other person and invite him/her to watch it together.
3. Hello, are you available now?
Although this sentence is straightforward, it seems very polite and respectful. If the other person replies that they don’t have time, you can also ask again when it is more convenient and say that you will arrange it according to the other person’s time.
4. Hi, I am learning a new skill recently, are you interested in learning it together?
By mentioning what you are learning, you can let the other person feel your positivity and enterprising spirit. If the other person is also interested, then you can study together, encourage each other, and make progress together.
5. Hello, I just saw an interesting article and want to share it with you.
By sharing valuable information or articles, you can let the other party feel your care and concern. At the same time, this is also an opportunity to showcase your knowledge and insights.
The above methods are all relatively common and effective ways of communication. Different occasions and different groups of people require different ways to express themselves. No matter which method you use, be mindful of your tone and attitude, be respectful, and be sincere and friendly.
