List of topics to talk about
I’ve separated the topics into sections (topics to get the conversation started, topics
to get to know someone, tech topics, personal history, and random topics).
Under each topic are a few sample questions to get you started and to help you
think of other questions. But remember that these are just the beginning of the
question you can ask. There are many more possible questions for each topic.
Come up with your own questions based on their answers or from your own
creativity.
First though, here are some general tips for a good conversation.

I. Topics to get the conversation started
These are your run of the mill, first meeting someone, topics to talk about. You’ll
find that most people will have at least some things to say about each of these
topics.
Once you stumble upon something interesting or something they are interested in,
keep talking about that for a while. Branch off from your initial topic and ask
follow up questions about whatever they seem interested in. Usually people like
talking about themselves, so it’s usually good to focus on them and be a good
listener with occasional prompting follow up questions.
1. Current situation
Usually the best way to start a conversation is to talk about your current situation.
The questions you’ll ask vary greatly on where you are and what you are doing.

So for example, if you are waiting for something you might ask how long they’ve
been waiting. Or if you are at a show or an event you might ask if they’ve seen
the performer or speaker before. If you are traveling somewhere you might ask
where the other person is headed. If you are at place that is serving food, talk about
the food. If there is music playing, talk about the music.
2. Job / Work
What do you do?

How long have you worked there?
Do you like it?
How are your coworkers?
What’s the best / worst thing about being a (their job)?
3. Clothes
This one works best if you talk about what they are wearing. Maybe try
complementing a piece of clothing they are wearing that you like and ask where
they got it.
4. News

Did you hear about (news story)?
How much do you follow the news?

want to make plans with / date them.

II. Topics to get to know someone

great for when you’ve gone past the friendly introductory small talk and feel like
you’ve made connection with the person.
8. Free time
