it's sometimes hard to strike up conversations with new friends- especially if the friend is shy, or you don't know many of their interests. Here are my top 15 favorite questions to ask a new friend. :)

1) Where do you think you will be 20 years down the lane?
2) If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
3) What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
4) What do you do to have fun?
5) If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get?
6) What is one goal you’d like to accomplish during your lifetime?
7) If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be and why?
8) What’s the ideal dream job for you?
9) If you could visit any place in the world, where would you choose to go and why?
10) Are you a morning or night person?
11) What are your pet peeves or interesting things about you that you dislike?
12) Name one of your favorite things about someone in your family.
13) If I could be anybody besides myself, I would be…
14) If you had to describe yourself using three words, it would be…
15) What has The Lord done for you in the past month?

as you have probably noticed, why and how questions are probably the most beneficial when striking up conversations. avoid questions that could have possible yes and no answers. :)
