1. Family (or "From"). Ask about where the person grew up. Do they have family in the area? This can be a tricky topic because family is not a great topic for 100% of us. However, many people genuinely enjoy talking about our family. If you see a wedding ring or notice other clues that point to a family of some sort, ask about it. You'll see most people light up and conversation will get much easier.

2. Fun. Do you know anyone that doesn't like to have fun? Of course not. Even if their leisure activities aren't the same as yours, theirs will be fun for them to talk about. "What do you do for fun? How do you like to relax? Do you go camping? Do they like to play sports? You may find that you have common interests.

3. What Fires them up? Almost anyone has something they care deeply about, even if it's just their favorite sports team. Dig around and ask them about their passions. What gets their hearts thumping? They will love to have a conversation about that.

4. Future plans. What are they up to this weekend? Any vacation or plans for the summer? I have found that people love to have conversations about what they are looking forward to. People get very excited about their future plans and you're very likely to get them to open up a bit if you ask about what is coming down the line for them.

Those are the 4 Fs: Family, Fun, What Fires Them Up, and Future Plans. With these, you can't miss. With these 4 topics in mind in your next social situation, you will remember how to have a conversation with anyone and show you how to master the art of conversation.
