Need something to say after “hey”? Use a light opener, see if they laugh, and go from there. Keep it kind.
This page used to lean on cheesy “dirty” lines. We cleaned it up. Strangers do not owe you a performance, and a tired innuendo is a fast skip.
Try an opener you would say out loud to a coworker’s friend: a question about their day, a silly would-you-rather, or a comment about the weather in their city. If they do not bite, skip with a smile. Nobody wins by pushing.
Good starters: “What is the most boring thing on your desk?” “Are you a morning person or did the internet lie to you too?” “If you could teleport for lunch, where would you go?”
Skip anything that comments on someone’s body. If you want the full house rules, they live on Chatroom Rules.
Keep openers PG. If a line would get you removed from a family group chat, do not use it here. Report anyone who will not take a no.
