People like to talk about everything. It`s true that starting a conversation can be challenging but many people are very confident and don`t care what happens. This is good because they will always win in making new acquaintances and friends. Unusual conversation starter questions are questions you ask in order to make the conversation more interesting. People are different, some are shy some are worst then shy, some are very outgoing. So , you have to be careful what questions you ask each person. When first meeting a new person you need to have in mind some topics. For example: work is a great topic and can generate many questions, family also is good because everyone has a family and they tend to be an endless source of inspiration, friends, hobbies, movies, sports, travels etc. These are casual subjects , that are used for getting to know somebody.

There are also unusual conversation starter questions. Like maybe starting with a joke. An ironic joke like for example, if you are in a bar or a restaurant and at a table is a couple who`s fighting you can say to the person near you : „there goes my hope to have a great relationship”. Or if you are at a coffee shop or any kind of shop and you are stuck in a big line, you can turn to the person standing right besides you and say „ ohh, wake me up when it`s my turn”.

Another way to start a conversation with an unusual question is in a clothing shop. You can go right to a person and ask for an opinion : „sorry to bother you but which of these two t-shorts makes me look better? This red one or this white one? . It`s important to always ask open ended questions. These questions will keep the conversation going because they require a complex answer and in this way you can relate other questions to the subject. Smiling and making funny remarks is a good way to make people feel more comfortable. But don`t exaggerate though, you could end up failing, if you try too hard. Just be yourself but with more confidence. Having confidence is very attractive.


Starting a conversation with unusual questions is more of an extreme sport. People are usually more reserved when it comes to strangers and if somebody asks you an unusual question you tend to be more than just reserved. So, it`s a win or lose situation depending only on the person you ask the question. If he/ she is more shy the conversation will probably fall flat. If the other person is as crazy as you are then you will click like a perfect match. So , it`s very important to watch your tone of voice and gestures when asking something unusual. It`s good to smile and to be polite. You have to earn trust in just a few seconds and your appearance is all you need. So, try this idea too, you don`t have nothing to lose.
