What to Say in a Video Chat When You Have Just Met

Make the first question easy to answer

A good opening gives the other person somewhere to go. “Tell me everything about yourself” is a lot to ask someone you have just met. A smaller question about music, a hobby or an ordinary part of the day is easier to pick up.

You do not need to deliver a speech before asking it. Say hello, introduce yourself in the way you are comfortable with and choose one question. Then leave enough space for an answer.

Ten questions you can borrow

Choose a question because the answer interests you, not because you need to work through the whole list. If one topic gets the conversation moving, stay with it.

Use the answer to choose your next question

A follow-up feels more natural when it refers to something the other person actually said. You can also share a small detail of your own, so the conversation does not become a sequence of questions aimed in one direction.

You: What do you usually listen to while cooking?

Them: Mostly old pop songs. I know all the words.

You: That sounds more fun than my usual background playlist. Which song would you put on first?

The follow-up uses the answer instead of jumping to an unrelated topic. There is no need to use these exact words; notice the simple pattern of listening, responding and inviting a little more.

Share something small of your own

If she mentions a hobby, you do not have to pretend it is yours too. You can be curious without claiming experience you do not have.

Them: I’ve been trying to learn photography.

You: I mostly take ordinary phone photos, so I’m curious—what have you enjoyed photographing?

That gives the other person something specific to answer while being honest about your own starting point. A short personal detail is enough; you do not have to turn every reply into a story about yourself.

When the conversation goes quiet

A pause does not automatically mean the conversation has failed. Give the other person a moment. If you want to change topics, use something connected to what you have already discussed or offer a simple choice.

We’ve talked about music—are you more likely to spend a day off outside or doing something at home?

If replies stay brief, do not force a long conversation or keep asking the same question. You can politely finish the chat. Both people should be free to decide whether they want to continue.

Avoid turning curiosity into an interview

Prefer to write before speaking?

A message can be a smaller first step when you are not ready for a call. Pick one question, write it in your own words and allow time for a reply.
