How to start a conversation with anyone (without a pickup line)
A calm, repeatable way to open a conversation with a stranger: the observation opener, the easy out, and the three lines that carry you past hello.
Questions to get to know someone (that don't feel like an interview)
Why most get-to-know-you questions fall flat, and 24 better ones — grouped by depth — plus the follow-up habit that turns an answer into a real conversation.
How to keep a text conversation going when it's going dry
Why text threads die, how to revive one without double-texting yourself into a corner, and the exact messages that move a dry chat toward a plan.
Small talk topics and questions that don't stay small
Small talk isn't a topic problem, it's a depth problem. The three layers of small talk, how to spot the invitation to go deeper, and a graceful exit when it isn't clicking.
How to be less awkward (it's not about what you say)
Awkwardness isn't about your behaviour, it's self-monitoring stealing attention from the conversation. The spotlight effect, attention redirection, and why rehearsed lines make it worse.
Reading is the easy part.
