For example, they might say that they enjoyed growing up in a large family and that they would like to have a big family of their own one day. Or, they might have seen their parents get divorced and may be vary of getting married.

Hobbies

Talking about hobbies helps people to relax and you will get to see a spark of excitement as they talk about what they really enjoy doing. It will also enable you to share conversation about common interests, which will help you to bond with one another.

Holidays
