Conversation Starters for Couples
Sometimes starting a conversation can be difficult. You either know the person so well you cannot think of anything new to talk about, or you have just met and need to get the conversation ball rolling. Conversation starters tend to be fairly lighthearted and lead into more than a “Yes” or “No” answer. They are leading questions designed work in a variety of scenarios – on a first date, over dinner, or at a party. We have chosen some that we think you will enjoy asking and generate some unique and telling answers.
