Below are 101 types of conversation starters you can use on your first date, at a party, in business, with guys or girls, or on family and friends.

The 101 great conversation openers are simple, yet don’t be fooled. They’re effective. The most important thing to keep in mind when using any conversation starter is they aim to start the conversation. “Ice-breakers” break the ice; they don’t heat up the planet and make mother nature flourish.
