They say the first impression is the one that counts. But how difficult it is to find a good conversation starter to break the ice with that pretty girl you’ve been eyeing all night or with your new co-worker who looks super friendly! That doesn’t mean that you should let the opportunity slip away, though.
If you’re really interested, you want to make sure your first impression is as good as possible, but we also know that some of us are just naturally shy and a bit of a wallflower. So how do you do it? Do you start with a funny joke? Or with one of those insightful questions to get the conversation going?
We’ve got you covered, so there is no reason to hide in a corner. We’ve pulled together an arsenal of icebreaker jokes and puns that work wonders! We also included some more serious yet interesting questions that can help you fill the awkward silences when you find yourself stuck for something to say. Good luck!
