Ten Conversation Starters

Have you ever had one of those awkward dinner dates? You know what I mean – those evenings out that are plagued by uncomfortable silences, less-than-entertaining anecdotes, and profuse sweating? Well if you have, there's no need to worry about such things anymore. Today, I'll share with you some of my favorite conversation starters. Of course, which conversation starter you choose to employ does depend upon the person you're with. But I think this list provides a decent enough array of conversation topics that you should be able to find something to work for you.
