Such as: What is your favorite time of day? Season? Utensil? Number? Vegetable? Brings you closer to people and often sheds new light on those you thought you knew everything about. and makes you think about your own preferences for a more intentional way of living. You don’t have to understand

I love to ask what people are currently “in to” - meaning current inspirations, fixations, interests, etc.
1. It’s subtle but revealing- I now know what you are interested in and get a hint at how you view life (ex. some interests can be perceived as narcissistic/surface level vs. thoughtful/curious) *Granted, not eveyone will have a good answer (or may not even be able to answer) and that will tell you all you need to know!!
2. Naturally we love to talk about ourselves and our passions so it will certainly keep the conversation going. Extra points for asking questions about what they say (maybe you’re interested, maybe you’re not- but at least it’s not awkward anymore)

asking this when meeting someone new, fun discovery process for both parties!
instead of “so what do you do for work?” or for the collegiates: “what’s your major?” this question serves the choose-your-own-adventure purpose because not everyone is afforded/prefers a stable job or education. it also allows you to get to know someone better, maybe they’re going to tell you about the 200 plants they take care of, or the profound though they’ve been stuck on. or, maybe they will think you’re weird and just tell you what they do for work, which is fine too, because it also answers the question. plus, people get excited when you ask them this. it’s unconventional in those early stages, cool points awarded brethren.

Underrated conversation starter. I had an amazing conversation about this with someone yesterday. We learned a lot about each other and even got to talk about favourite fruits and artificial flavourings (i.e.: I love peach-flavoured stuff, she’s a citrus girlie).
Also BONUS: you get to memorize people’s little treats and surprise them with yummy things sometimes 😋🫶🏼💕🥳

Surface streets make me feel connected & engaged. It is worth the extra 10 minutes if it means I can hear what the person in the car next to me is listening to at a red light and watch people cross the street/see what everyone is up to. I learn so much
