Today at work as a team we went to cava, me and my friend were sat next to two pretty girls who sat next to us after. As we began talking I realized all we were talking about was work, and popular events. wishing I could leave this table.

Here I am asking for help. How do you spice up conversations and become more playful with people that you don't know much about? Especially when conversations start to die out. And you have awkward silence.

More questions? What topics? Any jokes to say? Similar to how people in dates exchange the same old boring questions.
