🗣️ Mastering Conversation Starters

Playful teasing is mentioned as a way to engage, but caution is advised to avoid discomfort or offense. The paragraph also touches on the significance of discovering shared interests and dreams, which can be beneficial for planning future activities together.
📝 Capturing Interests for Future Reference
The speaker shares a personal strategy of noting down a person's favorite food, drinks, and snacks as a way to prepare for future surprises or sentimental gestures.

An example is given where the speaker remembered a girl's favorite chocolate and used this knowledge months later to make a memorable impact. The paragraph concludes by encouraging curiosity as a means to delve deeper into a person's thoughts and feelings, eventually leading to more profound connections.
🤔 Exploring Deep Conversation Topics
In this paragraph, the speaker explores the idea of using deep or thought-provoking questions as conversation starters.

Transcripts
if you want to avoid dry conversations I
have the best starters for you so first
and foremost when you get to know a
person or you talking to a person you
got to get to know them you know what I
mean you got to communicate some sort of
plan some type of goal this can go for
texting or in person all right by the
way texting is not a primary source of
communication texting is used to set up
things it is logistical it is practical
you shouldn't be trying to make somebody
like you through text you understand
what I'm saying
but like I said these uh conversation
starters can help you with text or in
person so first and foremost you want to
learn about this person ask them about
them people like to talk about
themselves and if they don't they really
do so ask them about them where they
from get to know they family get to know
all these things because it will help
you start more conversations so if
you're ex a girl you know let's say um
where did she go to school right and she
said oh I went to River rid High you
like River Ridge High I heard there was
some crazy stuff going on around even if
you don't know about River Ridge High
it's playful teasing teasing it works
but you don't want to make them feel
uncomfortable you don't want to offend
them like I heard everyone from
riveridge high is a are you a
that's crazy you understand what I'm
saying so just ask them about them find
ways to make conversation you know as
they talk about themselves whether they
talk about their family whether they
talk about where they from things like
that what they like to do all that good
stuff right now moving on to like the
next area which is kind of the same but
ask them about things they've always
wanted to do that they never done or if
they had a day to do three things or go
to three places they wanted to uh go to
or experience uh where would they go
what would they do these things can help
you not only learn about who they are
but learn how you can move in the future
when you planning dates when you
planning trips when you're doing these
things if y'all make it to that point if
not it just gives you something to talk
about maybe y'all might have a place or
thing that y'all both want to do y'all
might find common interest you know in
talking about things that y'all want to
do or places y'all want to go y'all both
might have a dream to go to Hawaii y'all
can you know get together build
yourselves up save up some money as
y'all get older y'all might go on a trip
to Hawaii you know what I'm saying so
find out what they like find out where
they want to go find out their interest
simple
now one of my very favorites and I'll
tell you how I use this right I always
ask about love language how do you like
to be love is it touch is it the
affirmations what do you want cuz not
only will you be able to provide those
things and make them feel loved in the
way they like to be loved but it lets it
also lets you know their boundaries some
people don't like to be touched like
that until they get to certain level of
people so if you come off the wrong way
and touch somebody you know without
knowing that they don't really you know
they very sensitive to touch they hard
to pet you know what I'm saying you know
you can avoid that but what I like to do
is like yo what's what's your love
language and they usually say um words
of affirmation quality time you know
that type of thing and I kind of
postpone mine you know or maybe I'll
throw mine out there first but I will
always say you know mine is quality time
and physical touch I'm heavy on touch
you know what I'm saying and then this
is where I sprinkle in my little sauce
usually I do this once I know the girl
is in interested and you know I got it
to that point I usually like man if I
like you I act like a baby around you I
I can't stop touching you and I could
immediately see them going into their
brain remembering how I just sit there
and just play with their fingers like
just rub their skin like I I used to rub
all up under my girl neck like I was a
baby and when I told her the F the same
thing for the first time she like got
all cuz she knew like I could not stop
touching that girl and
damn that sounds
crazy
anyways I'm a very touchy person you
know I I know my limits though I don't
just walk around like let me touch you
you know what I'm saying make sure you
comfortable make sure you know those
things are you know good before we get
into all that right so physical touch I
mean love language love language that's
conversation topic that's the start of
what's your love language how do you
like to be loved you know what what sets
you off right what turns you on huh
anyways next conversation starter food
drinks snacks this is a cheat Cod when I
first started talking to this little
lady one time I I I got her favorite
meals her um favorite drinks favorite
snacks I got all those things down and I
read them wrote damn I wrote them down
okay I wrote them down and I tucked them
away because I didn't want to you know
just come off like hey here's everything
you want that's not even a point I'm
making but I wrote all these things down
so when I ran out of not necessarily
gift ideas but when I just wanted to do
something special do something
sentimental I always had something to
look back on right so I remember you
know in April met this girl ask what was
her favorite chocolate she said
Hershey's so she was kind of you know
dieting and stuff like that going to the
gym a lot so like like 4 months later
one day I just randomly show up with a
Hershey's and she's like oh my gosh how
how did you know I love and I was like
you know I was just drawn to it I just I
know
you anyways you know what I'm saying
find out what their favorite foods what
their favorite drinks are because this
also sets up future date ideas this also
sets up those future sentimental moments
to where you you don't have to think too
much hey what do you like to eat all
this it gets all that out the way so you
know what I'm saying get those things
down y'all might share a common interest
with food snacks a favorite restaurant
you never really know so just ask really
what the point of this video is is just
find out things the best conversation
starters are
curiosity you know what I'm saying they
come in the form of curiosity questions
right and you could you could go deep
with it you know what I'm saying like
um what do you think happens after we
die Are You Afraid Of Death I wouldn't
start without I'm afraid of death until
she's comfortable because that sound
like you're getting ready to kill her
like imagine meeting a girl and the
first thing you say is are you afraid to
die I'm going be like
um
yeah are you going to kill me
yeah you know what I'm saying don't come
off like that so you know you could just
say like um y'all could get on biggest
fears that's another one you could talk
about biggest fears and then you could
you you could use mine right and say
well I kind of overcame this lately but
uh when I was growing up I was afraid of
dying because I I mean I just couldn't
fathom what happens like I know with
sleep you you have dreams and things
like this but it's like you never
remember falling asleep you only
remember waking up
so when you die is it just blackout like
sleep do you have dreams do you roam the
Earth as a spirit or is it just
nothingness what is it and you know you
ask them what they think about all those
things man really um dive into yourself
what are things you're curious about
just ask them for their opinions and
things like that and you know the more
you become closer to a person the less
you have to try to find out and you know
you don't really have have to have
conversation starters because it gets to
the point to where you know y'all just a
part of each other's lives like some
days when I used to go by my girl when
we were together like we wouldn't even
talk like that we sat on the floor for
like 5 hours I played in her hair I
brushed her hair scratched her scalp she
rubbed my back and I don't even think we
said a word to each other for like 5
hours we just look up and laugh at each
other every you know few
minutes you know what I'm saying so like
don't put too much stress on it but
simply you know simply just simplifying
it all conversation starters are
essentially just talking points there
are gateways for you to get to know a
person to where you don't have to rely
on these things because think about it
do you need a conversation starter for
your mom do you need a conversation
starter for your brother it's just like
hey bro come come here dude come here
you know what I'm saying
so just get those things fill them out
learn who they are and one thing I I
must say this before I
leave you're not going to be compatible
with everybody some people are just
boring and I don't mean boring in the
sense of low quality some people just
don't have that energy for you right
like I I can talk right but I love to
listen if you never open up you never
talk you just shallow you don't really
have nothing to talk about you talk
about nothing or you always complain I'm
not going to be around you long you know
what I'm saying and if you're a person
who can't shut up and you never let me
speak and every time I speak you try to
cut me off and try to finish my
sentences when my sentences sentences
were nowhere near where the hell you
going I'm not going to want to be around
you long if it's someone who just talks
about you know we we are all compatible
with certain people so I stress this man
if you like somebody you know if it
doesn't work out if the conversation's
not good it's cool my dude it's cool sis
you know what I'm saying life goes on
and you'll be
fine okay so if that doesn't help
you
um I'm going to still find a way to help
you but yeah man y'all can uh comment
you know what's going on in y'all Lives
I Can comment scenarios y'all may need
help with um what kind of problems you
may be facing while conversating and
things like that
and um you know what I'm saying I I
could help you out to the best of my
ability on that too but uh yeah man it's
simply just you getting to know people
that's all it is communicating a certain
um feeling a certain interest a certain
goal that's all it is so just get to

something for God's sake and you don't
have to say oh I'm going now you can

that like yo I'mma let me let me get
this knocked out real quick I'll hit you
back but most of the time I just go away
cuz why do I have to announce that I'm
busy I'm not glued to my phone all day
