你养宠物吗？人们都喜欢宠物，问起他们的宠物能让对话进行下去。即使对方没有宠物，这也不失为一个好的开场白。
What's the first thing you do after work? Do you kick off your shoes? Hit the gym? Asking how people relax makes them feel relaxed.

下班后做的一件事是什么？是踢掉鞋子？去健身？问人们如何放松能让他们感到愉快。
Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend? 这个问题显得有压力，人家未必有大计划，问题不能太限定，建议这么问：
What are you up to this weekend? What’s your plan for the weekend? Make chatting easy by asking about future plans — without setting off a stalker vibe. Keep it light and share your plans too. 这个周末有什么计划？关于未来打算的问题让对话变得轻松，但不要刨根问底，给人居心叵测的感觉。尽量保证话题轻松，同时也分享你的计划。
Do you like to cook? Asking about favorite dishes and culinary adventures sparks delicious dishing.
