No doubt you’ve felt the frustration of running out of conversation topics, been part of those highly awkward silences, and wracked your brain struggling to find ways to keep the conversation going.

When faced with this difficulty, most men resort to diving right into “interrogation mode”. You know...when guys just start spouting off a series of rapid-fire fact-based questions to the girls in the hopes of keeping the conversation going.

Instead of going down this route, here are 3 good conversation topics to use while talking to girls.

  • AMBITIONS AND PASSIONS

This is probably the best topic of conversation you can have going for you. By talking about your future ambitions and the passions you have, not only can you continue moving the conversation forward because of the amount of knowledge you have on the topic, but you also will be unable to keep from sounding excited while talking.

Showing this emotion is always a positive when talking to a girl, because they’re used to too many guys trying to hide their emotions and this will be a welcome relief. In the same way, when you begin talking about her passions and ambitions, she will feel more at home because it will automatically be a conversation topic that she’s interested in.

  • TRAVEL

Just about everyone is a fan of talking about travel, but the key in this case is to let her do the talking. Instead of bragging about the places you’ve been or telling your stories off the bat, use this as a way to dig into her interest, world views, and passions … all topics that you can bring to the conversation later on.

  • STRANGE EXPERIENCES

In the same way, talking about the “weirdness” in your own life can move conversations from good to great. Has something intriguing or strange ever happen to you? For instance, sometimes I’ll tell the story about my grandma who says she was visited by a dead relative.

It’s such a strange experience, full with so many emotions and facts, that the woman can find a large assortment of questions to continue the conversation. From there, she will offer her own bout of strange experiences, which will further propel the conversation.

Of course there are an infinite number of other topics, but these are 3 of my personal favorite that women always enjoy while also giving me insight into their personality. Let me know if you have any specific topics that work well for you.
