Good convo starters for someone i've never met

[thatcountrykid]

What are some good conversation starters? My friend is setting me up with her best friend who ive never even talked to since she texted and sent me snapchats saturday. She seems like an amazing girl id like to get to know her more and possibly go on a couple dates with her

"So how are you today?"

^^^^ neutral, general topics in a friendly manner. Start flirty, and it'll only go downhill.

[Ozymandiaz]

I'd try and find some common interests, be it television ,movies, books, sports, etc...
You get my point.
After that I'd try and elaborate on that shared interest and branch it into another conversation.
I would give her a compliment or two and by judging from her reaction, see if she appreciated it or not.

[MechaSniper]

ask her if she has any hobbies.

[Synyster Shadows]

Start very basic. Imagine you're meeting a dude to remember to start slow and then think about the fact that she's a girl you're interested in so the topics can be a little more personal and whatnot

Some of the other replies are more topics but you would like things to start convo's and keep them going whatever.

Start simple, as Liv said thats neutral and can get a reply. Then ask questions! It's easy and makes you seem interested. Ask questions back about what they say, it makes you a good conversationist.

Well... Why is she trying to set you up with someone in the first place? And set up with in what way?

I don't really know if I would recommend asking someone how they're feeling, because I know that if someone asked me that to try and start a conversation with me everything would be ruined straight away because I can never answer that and it will just leave me feeling awkward for a while.

Ask your friend that's trying to set you up some of the more personal things about her so you at least know what she's like if you don't already. Do you know much about her personality or just what she looks like and some of the more simple details? Personally I wouldn't go on a date with someone until I knew a lot about them or even meet up with them outside of college because that and home are the only 2 places I feel properly safe at. Don't ask too much though to your friend because you will still need things to talk about.

I don't really see why I'm posting this because I absolutely suck at conversations and I'm the last person anyone should come to for advise on how to talk to people but its always worth a try anyway... I only go from my own experiences because I know how awkward I feel when asked how I'm feeling, what I'm doing and how my day has been. Chitchat really doesn't work for me and I have no idea how it could possibly work for anyone. :whoops: One of my biggest hates is meeting new people so I know I can't be too helpful :lol:

What's kicking? What's new with ur life?

[marasms]

find some common ground and ask her what kind of stuff shes interested in

[NeuroTiger]

Go slow...do not flirt ;)
Ask her
"Hey there, how are you today? :D "

[Horatio Nelson]

I always like to ask something relevant, maybe they were talking about something earlier, you can use that as a springboard and just go from there.

If the person is drinking red bull or something you can say like "red bull gives you wings" or like "How's the red bull?" From there off you can talk about pretty much anything
If she is holding something remarkable you can talk about than just start the conversation with that.
