Ways To Start A Conversation.

Starting a conversation can be tricky, but there are lots of great ways to do it. One easy way is to ask open-ended questions. For example, instead of asking “Do you like coffee?”, try asking “What’s your favorite drink?” That way, the person can give a longer answer and the conversation will flow more naturally.
You can also try asking for opinions. For example, “What’s your favorite thing to do on the weekend?” Or “What’s your take on [current event]?” Asking for opinions is a great way to get people engaged in a conversation.
