When I am talking to people I don't know very well, sometimes it's hard to know what to talk about after the hellos are finished. Rebecca Mannerly says, "The very best way to handle these moments is to remember that everybody likes to talk about themselves." So just ask questions and listen to the answers in a friendly way. I mean general, get-to-know-you questions like:
"Do you have any hobbies?
"Do you like animals?"
"Have you seen any movies lately?"
Asking questions is a good way to get a conversation started. It's called "breaking the ice," and it's a good way to start talking to almost anyone.
Do you have any question you ask to get a conversation started when you meet someone new? I'd love for you to share.
