Don't make it sound like a personal interview

Refrain from asking too many questions. Instead of making it a mundane Q&A round, build the conversation around things that can catch their interest.

One-word responses are a big no-no

Put in some effort to come up with some interesting, creative, quirky, and humorous responses that keep the conversation going in the right direction.

Late responses are an absolute turn-off

If you are busy with something or a sudden emergency shows up, let them know instead of keeping them hanging. Resume talking when you both are free.

Don't use too much jargon or abbreviations

Write and finish your phrases and sentences properly to avoid any misleading communication or confusion. Words have power as they can influence people.

Move over routine stuff

Make an effort to stand out by seeking/offering recommendations for shows/movies, food, or restaurants. You can also play some games or show each other your talents/skills.
