Frequently asked questions
What makes a good conversation starter?
A good opener is easy to answer but hard to answer in one word. It invites a story, a preference or an opinion, which gives the other person something to talk about and you something to ask next.
Which starters work over text?
Short, playful questions work best in messages. The light level is full of them, and the text conversation starters deck on this site is written specifically for chats.
How many starters should I prepare?
Two or three is plenty. Real conversation grows from the answers, so use a starter to get going and then follow whatever the other person brings up.
