Conversation Starters

Press Next question, tap the card, or press the space bar for a new question. Pick a category to narrow the list, or leave it on All. Questions are dealt like a shuffled deck, so you will not see a repeat until every question in the category has come up. Back steps through earlier questions, and Copy puts the current one on your clipboard.

Take turns: one person answers, then asks the same question back. The best conversations come from the follow-up questions, so keep asking why.
