Ways to elevate from small talk to medium and even high talk?
When someone talks about the weather, ask what their favorite thing do is in the current weather. Notice something interesting about what they are wearing and ask about it. If they are with a pet, ask its name, age and its most quirky behavior If they indicate that they have kids, ask how old they are and what they are up to If a person mentions their job, ask how they got into that line of work Ask what they are looking forward to doing this day/week/month/year Mention something strange, interesting, or funny that just happened, ask for their opinion or if they have experienced something similar If you're in an eating place together, ask their opinion about the dishes on the menu Mention a challenge you are having, ask their advice about how to overcome it. Ask their opinion about some piece of news or current affairs and what they think should be done about it
