How to talk to a sugar daddy?
So, what to say to a sugar daddy? A sugar daddy is just a man who’s also looking for a relationship, and that’s an important thing to remember. You don’t have to say something super-special, do anything extraordinary or surprising. Still, there are some specific rules of etiquette. We’d like to start with some don’ts—this information will help you avoid the most common mistakes:
- Don’t focus on his age, even if he looks very good and you think it’d be a good compliment
- Don’t talk about the terms of a sugar arrangement in your first messages
- Don’t focus on your own expectations of interests unless these are the interests you both have
- Don’t start with something related to sex—dirty talks are not for the first message and he may think you’re an escort
These are just the basic don’ts, but what about the dos? We provide some below.
Greeting for sugar daddy
Here are some sugar baby greeting examples and an explanation of what exactly is good about them:

- Hi! I see you’ve been to ___, I absolutely love this place. Maybe we’ll meet there one day?:)
- Hi! Your profile looks great. I see you live in New York? I just moved and have already fallen in love with the city. Maybe as a New Yorker, you know some secret places that every newcomer should visit?
These messages are relatively neutral and polite, but they’re also the icebreakers that will make a sugar daddy respond. Again, these are just sugar daddy greeting message examples to inspire you—rely on information about a particular person to come up with your own idea of a great greeting.

Conversation topics to have with your sugar daddy
Your sugar daddy message can be literally about anything: hobbies, travels, education, professional interests, career, friends, favorite types of entertainment, attitude toward parties or video games, music, beauty standards, and so on. The only topic you should avoid is something controversial like politics.
The best option is to start with hobbies and interests and then move on to something more serious, for example, personal values, priorities in life, and views of life. That’s how you can get closer.
So, there are a lot of things to say to a sugar daddy, and there are a lot of things you shouldn’t say, though. Here are some rules of a good conversation with a sugar daddy:
- No complaints
- No discussion of ex-boyfriends and bad previous relationship experience
- No virtual sex before you start dating
- No conversations about poverty and social stratification
Here’s the most important thing that every sugar baby should remember—men date sugar babies and pay them huge allowances mostly because they get those dream relationships with only positive aspects and no negative emotions. You may talk about different things when you get really close, including ex-boyfriends, ex-wives, politics, etc., but at the very beginning, it’s important to ensure that you sound like someone who can bring happiness, not problems.
Important questions to ask a sugar daddy
There are the questions you ask just to continue a conversation. There are also questions that are important for you because the answers can help you understand if you may have something with this person or not and learn more about their expectations and goals. Here are some samples of the questions from the second category.
- What are you looking for here? I personally would like to meet a …
- What’s better for you, texting or phone calls?
- Would you like to date someone for a long time or just enjoy and have fun with no strings attached?
- Are you looking for something exclusive?
- What would make you finish a relationship with someone? Are there things that you’re totally not into?
- What do you think of mentorship?
Of course, the context is important, too; there is the right time and the wrong time to ask them. These are not the first messages you can send, but the questions you can (and, to be honest, you should) ask to understand if you really match each other.

Here are a few most important things to keep in mind:
- Never get jealous
- Never seek more attention from him
