"Hey do you see that guy over there?"
"Yeah"
"I see him too we both have Good eyes"

[charlespratt]

You know you've met the right person when you can be silent and not feel pressured to chatter away mindlessly.

[swiftrian]

I find "what's something you'd like to do before you die" is best asked on night strolls through the woods or near a secluded lake.

[derleonator]

"Im a teacher"
"When I was younger, I wanted to become a teacher, theres something fullfilling in inspiring others"
"Oh, then why didnt you?"
"Cause thats a lie, I cant stand children"

Going great so far

[kirjian]

"so what's your occupation?"
"no, you're supposed to start with family"
"... oh, right, okay"

[HABO]

"What's something you'd like to do before you die?"
Now THAT's a killer conversation starter!

[Kugelschrei]

"You look like you come from a big family"
"Uhhh why do you think so?"
"nono, you are supposed to talk about your family now"

[rebbiejoanthony]

Me, watching this to figure out how to make friends at work:
"So, what do you do for a living?"
"...Bro, we're both here."

[geraldmerkowitz]

"So you got family ?"
"I hate them."
"Oh... hum what do you do for a living ?"
"I'm unemployed."
"And what do you want to do ?"
"Nothing."
"Like... No occupation ?"
"I sleep a lot."
"So any particular dream ?"
"Yes, of going back to bed."

i usually break the ice by slipping and falling straight on it

[ThethDimensional]

Me: Titanic.
Person: What?
Me: Sorry, not a good ice breaker.

The most important thing to know is that you don't have to always be the one keeping the conversation going. If you're the only one asking questions theres a big chance the other person simply doesn't want to talk to you, so go find someone who does, you'll have a much better time.

me: hey how are you
girl: you watched that youtube video didnt you

[evesning]

Me: "Hey, want a drink?"
Girl: "Uh. No, thanks..."
Me: "Wow, you know when I was younger I always wanted to buy drinks for strangers. There's something about gifting others that's very fulfilling!"
Girl: "I-"
Me: "You look like you're from a big family!"

Interview mode is the worst when you catch yourself doing it, you know you fked up bad.

It absolutely blows my mind that some people can just do all of this naturally. It's a painstaking thought process for me every time, and I end up relentlessly focusing on how to have a conversation instead of listening and actually remembering what the person is actually saying.

This video has the funniest comment section ever.

[baseleader]

I imagine me with the Family topic like:
Me: Do you have Kids?
Stranger: No.
Me: Want some?

[b_lus_]

Me: why do you like rock climbing so much?
Her: idk

[Rodrigo-Digao]

Imagine approaching a random person and say "You see that guy over there? He really reminds me of my older brother, who's always energetic and not afraid to let loose. I feel like older sibling are all like that. Do you have any siblings?" By the end of this line, person will be gone already.
