Move beyond the mundane and aim to have great conversations with everyone. Let me help you unlock a world of meaningful connections!
How do you ask questions randomly?
Random questions are great not just because of the reaction they get, but because of how simple they are to pull off. It's really just as simple as 0ne-two. That's it: two steps.
- Choose your questions. Pick one that fits the audience you're talking to. If it's your boss, don't talk about absurd or scandalous things. If it's your friend, pick questions that'll get a laugh. There's a random question for everybody out there, but you have to make sure you're using the right one for the right person.
- Choose your moment. This is the crucial point. Find a time when you can spring your great questions, ones that will be appreciated. Make sure people are in the mood for something a bit random, and then, throw it out there and watch for great reactions!
What can I text randomly to a girl to make her day?
Random messages can make anyone's day! If you want to text the girl you like out of the blue, send her something that reminded you of her- a song, perhaps. Like this: "Do you know The Maccabees' song, Toothpaste Kisses? I don't know why, but it reminds me of you."
How do I keep our conversations interesting?
Any conversation can be made more interesting by asking the right interesting questions. Ensure you use the ones on our list or any of the many other articles on Mantelligence?
How to use good random questions to have a meaningful conversation?
It's the same way that you ask follow-up questions. Ask open-ended ones, and just go from there! Avoid questions that can be answered with a yes or no.
What random topics should I discuss with the girl I like?
These random topics or icebreaker questions should be interesting for her. For example, if she likes talking about the stars, go for topics about them. The timing may be random, but the topic should suit her.
What should I say to get a girl's attention?
Sometimes, it's not about what you say but how you act when you're with her. Try talking about an insightful topic. You can also ask about her biggest pet peeve to get her riled up. If you ask these with the right body language, it becomes more compelling than the topic itself.
