Calling into a phone chat line may make some peoples nerves go a little on edge. You know you’re going to be talking to a real person but you may not know what to talk about or what they like.
Not knowing what to talk about is normal but if you want to relax those nerves and be more confident when you go into a new chat with a new partner we have some ideas on things you can talk about.
Music can be a great unifier. Most people love music and are always ready to get some new recommendations. You can talk about new music that has come out or you can chat about your favorites from back in the day. You can even co-create a playlist with your new chat partner. Just remember that no one like when their music tastes are put down so you can joke but try to be friendly regardless.
Talking with your new phone chat partner about hobbies is another fun and safe topic. Everyone has something that they enjoy to do on their downtime. Maybe you both will even have the same hobby and bond over it. And if you have different hobbies you can learn something new and really connect!
Having conversations starters ready, and ones that are safe for everyone is going to make your phone chat so much easier on you and your new partner. Relax knowing there won’t be any long pauses with these ideas!
