Chat Talk to Strangers: Questions to Break the Ice

Hey everyone,

I recently started using a chat app to talk to strangers and I’m looking for some interesting questions to break the ice and get conversations flowing. What are your go-to questions for making a good first impression and sparking engaging discussions? I’ve found that asking about hobbies and favorite movies works well, but I’m eager to hear more creative ideas. How do you keep the chat from fizzling out? Any tips for handling awkward silences?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
