What is a good conversation starter?

One that asks for a story, not a fact. “What’s the best thing that happened this week?” gets further than “What do you do?”.

How do you start a conversation with someone new?

Start with something you share right now, like the place or the food, then ask one open question about them and listen for something to follow up.

What do you do when the conversation dies?

Go back to something they said earlier and ask more about it. People like being remembered.
