Frequently Asked Questions

What should I avoid when asking questions?

  • Being Too Personal, Too Soon: Avoid sensitive topics like religion, politics, or past relationships unless the other person brings it up and seems comfortable discussing it.
  • Interrogation Style: Bombarding someone with questions can make it feel like an interview, not a conversation.
  • Ignoring Discomfort: If the other person seems uneasy, it might be best to change the subject.

What if the conversation stalls or hits an awkward pause?

Awkward moments happen to everyone. Having a few ‘go-to‘ questions in your back pocket can help reignite the conversation. But also, sometimes a pause is just a pause; it’s okay to let the conversation breathe.
