What's the best question to ask someone who you don't know very well? - Lemmy.World

My go to is “how was your weekend?” Hopefully they’ll drop enough information that you can turn it into a conversation.

It usually ends in awkward silence. 🤐

I kind of hate when people ask my things like that because I often had a fun weekend but now can’t remember what all I did so I have to stop and remember for a while before answering, so I usually just say it was nice and hope they don’t ask for more details.
I hate it for exactly the opposite reason - I seldom go anywhere or do anything interesting the weekend.
