20 Conversation Starters to Get Everyone Talking
It's happened to most of us. You sit down at the dinner table and it's a little too quiet for comfort. Maybe you stopped by our Lake of the Ozarks Happy Hour and weren't sure how to strike up a conversation with someone new. Everyone has a lot to talk about, but sometimes it's difficult to get the conversation started.
Talking to family and friends that you are close to usually isn't too difficult, but every once in a while it's fun to spice up the conversation a bit and take the talk in a new direction than your norm. When it comes to talking to a person that you are meeting for the first time, it's best to keep topics general and non-controversial.
JB Hook's has put together a few interesting questions that could lead to some very compelling conversations. Most of these will work well both one-on-one and in a group. Here are two lists: one that should be safe for people you already know, and another that is safe to ask just about anyone.
That should be plenty of ideas to get the ball rolling and get a great conversation started. Dinner and Happy Hour are perfect times to relax and get to know someone a little better. You may learn some new and interesting facts about people that you thought you knew everything about, or you may find a new friend that you have a lot in common with.
