Surefire Conversation Starters
Can you confidently walk up to someone and start a conversation?
Do you know how to evaporate a silent pause? If you answered
yes, you are not alone!
Many people struggle with starting conversations. Unfortunately,
this leads to poor social skills, uncomfortable pauses, and
boring conversations!
That's the bad news. The good news is that anyone can learn how
to start conversations and keep them going. You just need the
right tools.
Think a moment. If I gave you a birthday candle and a couple
matches, you could easily light the candle. However, with no
matches it would be nearly impossible!

So also starting a conversation can be tough if you don't have
the matches. However, with the right matches or conversation
starters, you can quickly strike up a conversation.
Conversation matches come in the form of conversation starter
questions. Whip out one of these questions or conversation
starters and you can start a conversation with virtually anyone!
One question can start a conversation with a complete stranger.
Using a conversation starter with your coworker or classmate can
lead to several minutes of enjoyable conversation.
Here are a few conversation starters which are proven to work
for starting conversations. Memorize them and use them.

=> To a clerk: Has it been a busy today? => To a airline
passage: How often do you fly? => To a classmate: How are you
enjoying the class?
* Conversation Starters for People you See Occasionally or Every
Day
Nearly every day we see coworkers, family, etc. These people
pose an interesting challenge because you already know a lot
about them and have probably discussed the standard topics
(family, pets, etc.). Try these conversation starters:
=> What do you think about us exploring Mars? Is it worth the
money? (Talk about a current event.)
=> How was the class? (day at work, the movie, shopping trip,
etc.)
=> How are things going at work? (in your life, at home, with
school, etc.)?
=> What is new in your life?
=> How are you doing?
=> What have you done for fun lately?
* Conversation Starters for People You Want to Know Better
These conversation starter questions have numerous uses. When I
was in sales, I would use them to build rapport with the
customers. They are also great for building friendships. In
addition they help you be a social success on dates, at parties,
or anywhere there are people!
=> How do you like to spend most of your time?
=> What do you enjoy about golfing? (parenting, their favorite
hobby, work, etc.)?
=> Do you enjoy skiing? (name one of your interests)
=> What do you find challenging about your job? (cooking,
parenting, whatever you are talking about at the moment)
=> How did you get started at this job? (meet your spouse, start
playing golf, etc.)?
=> What do you wish was different about your house? Why? (your
life, work, family, hobby, etc.)
That's it! These conversation starters are your matches.
Memorize them and keep them handy. Pull one out and use it to
strike up a conversation or evaporate a pause.
