How do I start a small talk with someone new?

How do I start a small talk with someone new?

You can start by asking about their interests or commenting on your surroundings. For example, 'What do you think of this event?'.

That's a good idea! What if I don't know anything about the event?

You can ask open-ended questions like, 'Have you been to similar events before?' or share a light observation.

What if the conversation stalls?

If it stalls, you can pivot to another topic, like asking about their favorite movies or hobbies.

Thanks! Any tips for keeping the conversation going?

Sure! Listen actively and ask follow-up questions based on their responses to show genuine interest.
