How to Start a Conversation With People After Your Move?

Moving to a new place is always nerve-wracking. You say goodbye to your old life and start a new chapter. The first step of settling into your new house and setting everything up to make it a home is very crucial to the new chapter. Although, the next step is where people falter; how to strike up a conversation with the people living around you?

Making meaningful connections with your neighbours will determine your quality of life. Might sound extreme but you will be relying on these people to help you and settle into the new town and enjoy it.

Let’s split the art of talking to people in two parts:

1. Actions
2. Conversation

Actions

• Always hold a good posture and exude confidence. The first impression can really be the last one, don’t give anyone the chance to feel unsure about you. Always be courteous and greet everyone you meet with a simple smile. A pleasant smile could do wonders for you, so don’t be afraid to show your pearly whites (or yellows, haha).
• Food, food and more food. You can never go wrong with a small soiree with good wine light music and amazing food. Invite your immediate neighbours and people who have already introduced themselves to you, ask them to invite anyone else they know around the blog as you will never know enough people to make this effort worthwhile.

Conversation

• Once you have taken care of the “actions”, you have nothing to worry about. Basic conversation starters like talking about the weather or movies are not a bad idea but move on quickly and start talking about topics others show interest in.
• Compliments are always welcome, try finding unique compliments which might end up sparking a conversation.
• Always listen more than you talk.
• Stay away from risky topics such as politics, age, relationships or money.
• Finally, always end the conversation with a firm handshake and good eye contact.
