Conversation Starters: (How to Start a Nice Conversation)

Here are some ways to start a conversation with guys, with girls, with teens, with adults, with young people. Listen as much or more than you talk. Some people consider themselves skilled communicators because they can talk endlessly. But the ability to speak is only one part of the equation—and not the most important part. The best communication occurs with an even and equal exchange between two people. Think of conversation as a tennis match in which the players lob the ball back and forth. Each person gets a turn—and no one hogs the ball.
