For some, talking to people can be tough. For others, it flows naturally.

Have you ever clicked with someone you just met like you were long lost friends? Or maybe had a very awkward moment with someone new?

They both happen to all of us some time in our lives. To put it simply, every relationship, be it friendship or a significant other, starts with a conversation. And conversations generally start with interesting questions.

Conversations generally start with interesting questions

Don’t be that boring person who everyone thinks is awkward. It’s easier than you think to be a good conversationalist. It all starts with a few good questions. The first impression.
