Starting a conversation with someone you don't know can feel surprisingly difficult.
What do you say? How do you break the ice? How do you move beyond the weather without making it feel forced?
Ehm... Do You Come Here Often? is a relaxed, low-pressure meetup where we'll practise small talk and the art of starting conversations with people you've only just met—or *a friend you don't know yet.*
This time we're meeting in a café, where conversations naturally happen every day.
We'll have a couple of light warmup exercises to get us going, followed by plenty of time for natural conversation. No scripts to memorise, no networking, and no pressure.
Whether you're looking to become more comfortable meeting new people, practise your conversation skills, or simply enjoy connecting with others, you're very welcome.
This meetup is especially for you if you:
• find starting conversations a little awkward
• want to become more comfortable with small talk
• enjoy relaxed, low-pressure social settings
• would like to practise your English or Dutch
• are curious about meeting new people
You don't need to prepare.
You don't need to be confident.
You can join in as much or as little as feels comfortable. Or just come for the coffee!
Ehm... Do You Come Here Often? is part of You Talking to Me? — a social club for exploring communication and connection together.
Please note: This meetup takes place at Westerperk Café, not at the OBA as previous meetups have.
