You don't need more things to talk about. You need somewhere for the conversation to go.

One Question Deeper: First Dates & New Friends gives you 280 questions and 560 follow-ups to help you go beyond small talk and build meaningful conversations, whether you're on a first date, meeting new friends, or getting to know someone better.

The questions move gently from light to deep across eight sections: Easy Openers, where nothing is at stake; What You Like; How You Spend Your Life; The Stories Behind You; How You See the World; People & Relationships; Who You're Becoming; and Should We Do This Again?, an honest ending that neither forces a connection nor rushes away from one.

Every question comes with two follow-ups and a NOTICE prompt that helps you hear what is actually being said. Questions range from "What is something you have been looking forward to all week?" and "What is a custom or ritual from your upbringing that you still carry?" to "What is something you did recently that you did not know you had in you?"

The method is simple: ask a real question, listen to the actual answer, follow up one question deeper, and let what you hear matter. Use it on date nights, over coffee, during a walk, on a road trip, or at a gathering. Part of the One Question Deeper series of conversation books by Carl Williams.
