    Is suitable to ask sport news in small talk?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, as long as you know the other person is interested. Best to start off by asking them if they watch the sport/follow the team you're thinking of talking about.
  • Question
    What if I am not interested in small talking about the weather (like I was blind), pets (I only like cats), or someone's relative (what I am supposed to do with that information?)

    You can try introducing a different topic of conversation, but keep in mind that there are certain things everyone does to be polite and civil in society. Nobody necessarily enjoys talking about someone else's relatives, pets, etc., but it's important to be friendly and make others feel that you care about what's going on in their lives.

  • Question
    I recently started taking to this girl and she's quite shy. I want to start a long conversation. I've tried things like favorite hobby, etc. but it doesn't really lead anywhere. What shall I say? By the way I'm 14.

    Maybe you could try different things. Take the answers she's given before and maybe talk about those, I'm sure she'd enjoy that. You might share some of the same interests. Maybe try different topics, or make sure you can keep the conversation going.

    We both like books, but she is very shy. How do I start a conversation?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Perhaps ask her if she has read a book which you have found interesting, then start up a conversation by telling her how she should read it and how amazing you found it. If she has read the book, start up a conversation by asking her how she found it.

    Say, "Hi, my name is (your name), what's yours?" She should tell you her name.
