Ahoj OneLivers,

We’ve all been in that situation where you are talking to someone, the conversation dies down, and you are both just sitting there as you try to think of a topic to talk about.

Definitely awkward. But hopefully these topics to talk about will help you avoid that situation when you talk with the new viewers!

1 – Current situation

Usually the best way to start a conversation is to talk about your current situation. The questions you’ll ask vary greatly on where you are and what you are doing.

So for example, most of the performers do video calls at home, you may trying to ask them what the were up to, and also share what you have been doing before the call. If you just had dinner, talk about what you have eaten or the nice weather of today that motivates you to do the laundry.

2 – Job / Work

Our work takes almost 1/3 of our day, so the identity are always related to their job!

You may simply ask:

What do you do?
How long have you worked there?
Do you like it?
How are your coworkers?
What’s the best / worst thing about being a (their job)?

3 – Clothes

This one works best if you talk about what they are wearing. Maybe try complementing a piece of clothing they are wearing that you like and ask where they got it. If you are not wearing anything, well, complementing their body works the same!

4 – Where they are living

Our viewers and performers are all around the world, so it’s always interesting to talk about your countries and know more about each others cultures!

What city do you live in?
How do you like your neighborhood?
When did you move there?
What’s the best thing about living in that country?

The most important conversation tip is: Make sure to ask lots of follow up questions related to their answers. But remember it’s a conversation, not an interrogation. So when they ask you a question, make sure to give a long detailed answer and answer any follow up questions they ask you. Every conversation should be a give and take of talking and listening.

Having fruitful conversation will always be the KEY to earn more points on OneLiver! Good Luck!
