My favorite conversation starters – Zodiac Sign

If you have followed my blog for quite a while, you will know that I like to talk about personality.

You can start from the Zodiac sign and then slowly transition into the zodiac sign’s strengths and weaknesses.

Everyone is interested in exploring more about themselves, so talking about personality can make the conversation more engaging.

Zodiac Sign Conversation Examples:

You: Let me guess. You must be a Sagittarius.

Girl: No, I’m a Libra.

You: That’s weird. You do have Sagittarius characteristics. Anyway, every zodiac sign has its strengths. Do you know yours?

Girl: I don’t. What are Libra’s strengths?

(If you know about the zodiac sign, then you can tell her right away. If not, just take out your phone and google it.)

You: Libras are open-minded, harmonious, and tend to be socially developed. This is why they have a lot of friends. Do you agree about it?

Girl: Kinda. I make friends wherever I go quickly.

You: Yeah, from the way you speak, I can tell you are an easy-going person who can get along pretty well with others. Well, Libra has a lot of strengths. But, they do have their weaknesses too.

Girl: What are my weaknesses?

You: Libras are too kind to others, and they do not know how to say no. So, they sometimes forget to make time for their priorities. Is this you?

Girl: Yes, exactly! I just feel bad to reject others since they ask for my help sincerely. This has always been my biggest dilemma.

You: Well, it’s not a big issue. I have a good suggestion for you. Wanna hear about it?

Girl: Yeah, sure, tell me more about it.

(You can continue the conversation easily… and if you are running out of things to say, ask her to guess your zodiac sign and repeat the strengths and weakness thing on your side.)

Bottom Line On First Date Conversation Starters

Instead of thinking hard about starting and expanding the conversation, you should just be relaxed and go with the flow. Be yourself, and no need to fake the conversation.

Enjoy the casual chat and talk about anything you want, like how you would usually talk to your other girlfriends. If she clicks with you, she will stay, and if she is not, it’s better to let her go early.
