Why is knowing a few interesting conversation topics so helpful?
Because since you're an interesting person, you have a flurry of thoughts swimming around in your head, right? They range from the absurd to the practical and you can't wait to share them with the world.
And unfortunately, every once in a while you might draw a blank and run out of questions to ask. Maybe the girl you're talking to gives you the jitters or your cxonversational partner is as interesting as a wet plastic bag. What if you're the wet plastic bag? What can you do?
Well...
Nothing in life is attained by skipping steps, including a successful and thought-provoking conversation. So when you're out of questions to ask, start from scratch and think of a topic to talk about. Finding a topic to focus on is the perfect stepping stone to lead you towards an interesting conversation. Conversation topics are plentiful and range from family to work to hopes and dreams.
Once you have an idea of where the conversation should wander, you can begin to think about the questions that relate to the topic. Things will progress naturally from there and before you know it, you'll be looking at the clock, wondering where the time went.
Conversation starters are the best way to get to know someone you know nothing about. They're meant to help you get to know who you're talking to and make you both feel comfortable with each other. So, what are the interesting topics, you ask?
Here are 19 interesting conversation-starting topics and questions:
