Throughout my life, I have met a lot of people, both for work and in my social life, and I think it is safe to say that most human beings don’t know how to start a conversation. Most people either use the same round of boring questions as conversation starters or go straight for the very personal stuff. And we get it, starting a conversation with a stranger can be tough, so people usually opt for the safest alternatives, but there are so many fun things to talk about, all you need to do is have a couple of topics up your sleeve.
On the other hand, if you are pretty comfortable socially but would like to update your stock of good conversation starters, may we suggest trying out funny questions to ask your new acquaintance? Sharing a laugh is always a good icebreaker, and if they actually decide to think of an answer, this could lead to a very engaging talk, and possibly even to a great relationship. But remember one thing: Funny and rude are not the same, so be sure your questions are not offensive. You may choose absolutely random topics to talk about as long as everyone still feels comfortable.
To get you started, we collected a bunch of conversation starters on a whole range of fun topics. We absolutely encourage you to go and try them out, but don’t forget to come back and let us know which ones sparked the most lively conversations. Meanwhile, vote for the ones you like the best, and share this article with friends who might also need some help in learning how to start a conversation.
