What are some good deep convo starters to ask?

What I recommend to help you have incredible and deep conversations is not to just skip from subject to subject. Very often conversations turn into interviews, where people will ask "How many siblings do you have?" "Where did you grow up?" 'What do you like to do for fun?" "Where did you go to college?" They go from topic to topic. But really great conversation happens when you take one topic, and then you go deeper with it. For instance, you might say, "Where did you grow up?" And the other person may say, "I grew up in Detroit." And you might say, "Wow, tell me about Detroit. What was it like growing up in Detroit?" or "I heard that Detroit is really having a renaissance right now. I heard that the city is really coming back to life," and you can start to really explore that. If you really stick with a single subject, exploring before just going around from topic to topic, it allows for much deeper conversation.

I think to have a deep conversation, you need to first be genuinely interested in the other person and what they have to say. If you're more focused on what you're going to say next instead of actively listening to what they're saying, your conversation isn't going to get very far. When someone says something, pick something out from what they said and ask a follow-up question to allow the two of you to dive deeper into that topic. Also, be vulnerable and open to sharing about yourself. In doing so, you'll build some trust between the two of you, while will make it easier for the conversation to feel deeper. I think anything can be a deep conversation starter. Any conversation can become a deep one if you are open with the other person.

What do I ask someone that I am meeting for the first time without being too personal but still showing interest
