Some Effective And Creative Conversation Starters For Dummies

 
Tags: , ,


Before, I never truly believed in bringing things or items with you as potential conversation starters. Well, well, and what do you know? My friend told me a certain incident which proves to me and that it actually works like magic! My friend actually experienced it first hand. After one visit from the vet she brought along her cute little puppy to the nearby grocery store to do some shopping.

She could not believe it when total strangers passed by and stared at them with bright curious smiles and with eyes wide open. Some of them went to the extent of going closer to them just to pat her mixed terrier-poodle. Some comments such as, “is it a she or a he?” and “what a cute and lovable puppy!”.

Then, she thought to herself, “Whoah, what a nice way to meet new people!” See, it was so easy not to mention effortless. You don’t have to muster enough guts and courage, risk rejection, withstand weak and wobbly knees and dry mouth just to talk and strike a conversation with anyone for the first time.

Then from that time on, my friend thought of being in the right time and place, and having the right props and equipment as conversation starters—then you’re bound to meet new faces along the way and up your social connections several notches higher. This said, here are some tips and hints on what to carry with you and to get that good or great topics of conversation going.





You can select some of these conversation starters which you feel really suit your personality the most. 1. Magazines—you can in fact spot and target a person you will like to meet, by bringing with you a magazine which will appeal to his or her likes or interests. Perhaps you want to meet an architect? Then bring Architectural Digest.

How bout meeting a stylish fashionista? Then, bring Vogue, InStyle, Harper’s Bazaar or Mademoiselle, etc.-- okay, you get my point. 2. Crossword puzzles—if for example, you’re digging a double tall strawberry frapuccino at a local Starbucks or any coffee shop, you could bring along a crossword puzzle section of the newspaper.

And you could ask that cute or attractive person next to your table if he or she knows another 3-letter word for let’s say, “untruth”. If that person answers “egg” please try not to laugh. 3. Sheet music—do you have the hots for a local jazz singer or a musician? Then bring sheet music with you geared to the kind of music maker you have in mind.

4. Books—with striking titles such as “What color is your parachute?” or “The Grass Is Greener Over The Septic Tank” would certainly bring out questions or comments. 5. A camera—go and invite a female pal to the beach. When you see a cutie or anybody that caught your fancy, ask him to take a picture of the two of you, then offer to take his photo also and e-mail it to him.

Hmmm...see, you now have his e-mail addy and when you e-mail his picture, you could drop him a line.
