Below you'll find some of our best conversation starters. If you're going for a real banger upfront to get things started, this is where you'll find it.
1. What is something that is popular now that annoys you?
Sometimes those wacky, passing fads aren't for everyone.
2. What was the last time you worked incredibly hard?
Push yourself daily if you want to always have an answer for this.
3. What were you really into when you were a kid?
I liked gems and minerals. I also collected keychains for some reason... Kids are weird.
4. What is a controversial opinion you have?
This can spark an extremely interesting conversation so long as you have an open mind.
5. What is the most annoying habit someone can have?
Bonding over dislikes is a surprisingly powerful way to get to know someone. However, if she never talks about anything positive... That's a red flag.

6. What do you bring with you everywhere you go?
Girls get purses so I've started carrying my new backpack with me everywhere. It's ridiculously convenient and I highly recommend it.
7. Where is the worst place you have been stuck for a long time?
Airports, the side of the road, and inside an elevator with a bunch of wet dogs are all perfect examples.
8. What is something that really annoys you but doesn’t bother most people?
We all have pet peeves.

Maybe you can help her overcome it!

13. What are you best at?
Everyone has that one thing they're awesome at.
14. What’s the best show currently on TV?
Impractical Jokers? Game of Thrones? Pawn Stars? Everybody has a favorite.

Childhood memories are fun to talk about because they bring you back to a time when life was much simpler.

17. What is something you are obsessed with?
Hopefully not you.
18. Where is the most beautiful place you have been?

Hopefully not the one you wanted to take her to.
23. Would you eat at a restaurant that was really dirty if the food was amazing?
Dirty restaurants have the best food... But your stomach will probably hate you for it.
24. Do you prefer traveling alone or with a group?
Try solo traveling sometime. It's hard to travel with people afterwards.

Or does she prefer sticking to an itinerary?
