6 Subjects to facilitate a first contact

We’ve all been through a certain situation where we’ve barely been introduced to a person and we don’t have a subject to develop. This embarrasses a lot of people and silence is something very uncomfortable.

O awesome.club brought up some tips from Internet users who specialize in icebreaker topics. Let’s go to them.

Ask a person a question about any area, for which the person will need to find 3 different answers. For example, ask your interlocutor to say what are the 3 of your favorite dishes, or 3 fun memories from your childhood. This little exercise will not only help your acquaintance feel more relaxed, but also get to know you better. It might sound a little childish, but it works.

you can talk about how your day usually goes, likes and dislikes about your job – but, of course, without badmouthing the boss or colleagues. It is also interesting to know why you chose a certain profession.

If you have the same profession, consider this a positive point, because you will easily find common topics to talk about.

It’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t like pets, especially cats and dogs. someone will start talk enthusiastically about them (maybe even display pictures), while someone else will tell you they’ve always dreamed of having a furry friend. In an emergency, if you’ve lost all your ability to communicate, grab a cell phone and put it on YouTube🇧🇷 A sincere laugh at the habits of some adorable cat will immediately break the ice between you and your interlocutor.

Even if your acquaintance collects knives and you like rare dolls, no doubt it will be interesting to talk about each one’s preferences. Also, it’s an excellent opportunity to learn about different hobbies and maybe discover something new.

You can count on your fingers the number of people who haven’t seen a single chapter of game of Thrones🇧🇷 So, if your interlocutor (and you, of course) saw this TV series, the topic of conversation will come up by itself. Nor should we leave aside the well-known films. In the end, cinema is the best source of collective memory. It’s always possible to talk about how touched you were by Mufasa’s character from The Lion King or with the fate of Jack and Rose in Titanic.

If the conversation doesn’t flow, we can always turn to childhood memories. Ask your interlocutor what they were his favorite games, what he dreamed of and what subjects he most liked to study at school. The main thing is not to be too insistent and avoid talking about the relationship with the parents. Such questions can be considered very personal.

Of course, there are no universal topics to talk about with someone you’ve just met. But good morals, a sense of humor and the ability to listen to the interlocutor will always help you.
