For example, if you went to a pick-up soccer game, you might suggest staying in touch and letting each other know the next time you plan on playing a game. If you hung out with someone at a museum or concert, you might suggest meeting up again for similar activities.

Some good icebreaker questions, like "what were you like in high school?" or "what would people be surprised to learn about you?" can really get the conversation going.
