How To Get Lively Conversation Going With People you've just met

How To Get Lively Conversation Going With People you've just met

Anything up close looks larger than when it is at a distance. This is true for both experiences and objects.

When you meet someone you know next to nothing about him. With very little effort however you can find out some trivial facts about his day. Questions about someone's last few hours just kick start the conversation. Ask about her day, preferably the past 5 or 6 hours. Visualise as many details as you can and ask about them. As far fetched it might seem to you, she is loving it because she is so close to the experience. Soon the natural flow takes over and one subject leads to another.
