How to start an online conversation with someone new
Simple ways to begin a respectful conversation with someone you have just met online
Start with context
A short greeting and an easy question work better than a demand for personal details. Ask what brought the person to the conversation or what topic they enjoy.
Listen and share lightly
Offer a small, non-sensitive detail about yourself, then leave room for the other person. Conversation is a shared pace, not an interview.
Respect a no
If the other person wants to leave, accept that without arguing. Both people should want to continue.
