Decide one question before you meet, and you will not get nervous 📝

The Enemy

The biggest enemy of small talk is being nervous.

One Question

So before you meet someone, decide 1 question for that person.

Something like "How is golf these days?" or "How is your dog?" is enough.

⚡ TRY IT
🚪 Before you meet your friends
Nervous level
Friend who started golf
"How is golf these days?"
😊 You remembered!
Friend with a puppy
"How is your dog?"
😊 You remembered!
Friend who took a test
"How did the test go?"
😊 You remembered!
Prepare questions, then go. Or just go now and see…
🥶 "Um… nice weather…" Your head froze.
🙂 You talked well with the friends you prepared for. But you froze with the others.
🎉 Every talk started smoothly! No nerves at all.
Feeling Cared For

The other person will be happy: "You were thinking of me."

On The Train

If you think of one on the train before you meet, you can relax.
