When are you due? Oh, you’re not pregnant? Do you have children? Oh, you already have 2! Don’t know what causes that? Don’t you have a TV? Well, are you going to have any more? You have two boys? I bet you want to try for a girl. Well, what do you do for a living? Oh, do you plan to get a real job? Oh, you were in nursing? Well, I have this health condition. I wonder if you could help me with it. By the way, where are you from? No, I mean where are you from? No, I mean where are your parents from? What is your ethnicity? Really? Are you sure? You don’t look like you’re from that region of the world. Why are you so quiet? Are you mad? Well, good luck with the pregnancy. Oh, wait I forgot you’re not pregnant!Did you find any of these questions annoying? If you did, you probably weren’t the only one. It contains many of the most commonly asked rude questions you reported to me in my recent videos on the subject. Today, I have swooped in to help, because I’m sharing a whole list of questions you can ask people you just met.
This is part 3 in an etiquette series I’m doing on rude questions- many of which I shared with you in the opening of this video. The problem with many of these questions is that they are intrusive. It’s not that you will never reveal this information to people, but you should only do so when you have established a relationship and feel comfortable with them. You don’t owe strangers answers to personal questions. So, what can you talk about when you’re meeting someone for the first time? What questions are safe to ask? Here are the list of questions.
Write these down and have a look at them before you go to your next big party.
How do you know the hosts?
What do you like to do in your free time?
Have you seen any good movies lately?
What’s your favorite show to watch?
Have you read any good books lately?
Have you been to any good restaurants in this area?
Have you visited any interesting places lately?
Do you like to watch sports? What are your favorites?
What blogs do you like to read?
What’s your favorite YouTube channel?

What are your favorite things to do locally?
What type of music do you like to listen to?
What book are you currently reading?
