Dining is a great time to socialize and connect.
But you can’t just listen to yourself chewing food – you have to be active and engaged with others!
But what do you talk about?
How should you start?
Here are three great phrases to create conversation while dining:
- “Have you eaten here before?” This is a great way to begin. If the other person has eaten there before, you might follow up with, “What do you recommend?”
- “Do you know what you’re going to have?” Say this after you have received the menu, to help keep the conversation moving.
- “How’s your meal?” You can use this phrase after the food has arrived and you have had a chance to taste it. If your food is good, you might offer, “Would you like to try some?”
