Leisure Time<\/h2>\n
This can easily transition into a conversation about what they like to do in their free time. You get to find out what they have planned and if you\u2019re available to do anything together. Ask if they recommend any books, blogs, podcasts, or videos. You might find a mutual interest that you can talk about. Is a person using a phone, tablet, or electronic device you’re interested in? This question is great because it allows your date to reveal information about themselves while still keeping things light.<\/p>\n
Look For Things In Common<\/h3>\n
I\u2019m sure you have a lot of stories about interesting characters you\u2019ve met, and they probably do too. Whether it\u2019s literally going off the beaten path like when they are hiking or just the figurative beaten path like a guidebook. You can use this question to find out how adventurous they like to be. This one probably varies a lot, depending on what country you are in. But usually, people have a favorite they like to talk about. The sky is the limit, so this one will probably lead to a good story.<\/p>\n
It can help you get to know what they want in life, and it might even give you some motivation to work on your own goals. Here are some questions to get the conversation started. This is another question that can lead to deeper conversations about society.<\/p>\n

- If one or both people in a relationship are not getting what they need from it, it\u2019s sure to create problems.<\/li>\n
- Sexual practices that fall outside of what is considered \u201cnormal\u201d by most of society.<\/li>\n
- In other situations you\u2019ll want past stories to come up more spontaneously, as they relate to whatever topic is being talked about.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Knowing what motivates other people and how they set goals for themselves can help you understand them more and determine if you\u2019re a good fit. Everyone has made mistakes in the past, but most people have learned from those mistakes and grown as a result. This question helps your date see who you were in the past, and how you\u2019ve changed since then. The right conversation starter can provide you with a great opener that gets the ball rolling just enough to sink into a really good chat. WHAT you talk about doesn\u2019t always have to be incredibly interesting. You can make almost any conversation interesting if you are not afraid to openly share your unique perspective, personality and opinion.<\/p>\n
Anti-vax has recently become somewhat of a big thing. There is a good chance of a heated discussion whenever two people of opposite views start talking about it. You can ask the person how they feel about the concept of technology. Or you can talk about your phone, laptop, watch, car, or any other piece of technology and how they compare or differ.

If the person seems evasive or gives shorter responses than usual, it\u2019s a sign to move on to a different topic. Ask people about what music, culture, or arts festivals they like. Talking about popular events can also create a reason to meet up again if you decide to go to an event together. Learning about another person\u2019s home can become an extremely personal experience.<\/p>\n
