The secret dance to a deep conversation.
Develop a taste for small talk
Whenever faced with uncertainty when trying to make conversation, you might want to consider making small talk.
It can work wonders and it helps with getting to know the other.
Learn to ask the right questions
Making good conversation implies mastering the technique of asking the right questions, in the correct order, in a proper tone.
The purpose is to get to know the other, without making it feel like an interrogation.
Asking deep questions
Once you have got the chance to get to know a bit more about the other, you can initiate the use of deeper questions.
These allow you to create a bond and to show to the other person how interested you are in his or her life.

11 Ways to Think Outside the Box
Take a Shower

These days, there are apps to deliver everything from groceries to toothpaste to tacos. Combine this with services that let you stream more media than you could ever consume in a lifetime, and it’s easy to spend most of your time inside, at home.
- Shop for groceries in person instead of online.
- Go out to eat instead of ordering delivery (bonus points if you invite a friend or family member).
- See a movie at the theater instead of streaming it.
- Buy books at a local bookstore instead of on Amazon.
3. Take off your headphones
Wearing headphones says, “Please don’t talk to me, I don’t want to be bothered.” This is great when you don’t want your coworkers to interrupt you, but it’s terrible when you want to connect with people.
Putting away the headphones (or taking out the AirPods) opens you up to more social interactions. Plus, you’ll notice new sonic details such as the song of a particular bird or the hum of different passing vehicles. Your experience of the world will be richer overall.
