If you're anything like me starting conversations or keeping one going can be tricky especially if you're not one for small talk. Asking someone their favorite things is nice but when you want to dig a little deeper, it's hard knowing what to say. Here I've gathered 20 questions that will help you out when you're stumped and need some help to open up a dialogue.

1. If everyone had a warning label, what would yours say?

2. Your parents are in their old age. Do you put them in a nursing home or let them move in with you and your family?

3. If you knew drugs did no harm to your body, would you do them?

4. They say you learn something new every day. What did you learn yesterday?

5. If you could teach someone one thing, what would you teach them?

6. Why can humans create and other beings cannot?

7. If you were to describe your life by a drink, what would it be?

8. Do you view others as supporting characters in your story, or main characters in their story?

9. What do you judge harshly about yourself?

10. Your only source of food is in a dumpster would you starve or dumpster dive?

11. What actions would you take to earn a loved one's trust back, after you have broken it?
