Use a light observation, opinion, or question to give them a clear way in.
Keep your opener short enough to feel natural, but specific enough to spark a real reply.

Conversation starters that work well

What's the highlight of your week so far?
Random question: what's something you've been really into lately?
That photo or story caught my attention. What's the backstory?
You seem like someone with strong opinions. What's a hill you'll die on?

What to avoid

Do not rely on just saying hey and expecting them to carry the conversation.
Avoid interview-style questions that feel dry or repetitive.
Skip negative or overly sexual openers unless the tone clearly supports it.
