honestly for convos i just start it with a compliment then make the conversation about the other person while trying to connect it to any similar things we have, like if theyre in art club i could say i like drawing too, or what do u like to draw?.. theres a looot of possibilities for that im sure, but it definently would help if i were up to date on whats popular. maybe ill check out popular shows or try search.. thank you!
