Hi everyone,
I've been wondering about this for a while. I'm curious—what’s a good way to start a conversation with a stranger, especially someone from a Western background, mostly in the U.S.?
Sometimes I feel like asking personal questions, like “What’s your name?”, “Where do you live?”, or “What do you do?” might make people uncomfortable. But then I also don’t always know what else to ask.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. What kinds of questions or approaches do you use to start a conversation that could grow into a longer chat, or maybe even a long-term friendship?
Any advice or examples would be really appreciated!
