Certified Image ConsultantFor starters, don't ever talk about politics, and religion, God, especially politics. So we start with general things, you always want the other person to feel good. Good starter topics of conversation could be about cinema, it could be something on Netflix, it could be about a book you read, it could be about something that happened, like a tsunami or did you hear about someone famous passed away, lean more towards topics that may interest the girl.
Tips
- Try starting up a conversation with someone you don’t know very well. The more you practice, the more comfortable you’ll feel when you’re chatting with her![19]Thanks
