I have recently met unexpectedly with my classmates from school and college in restaurants and shopping malls. .I am a litte anxious if I have to make an impromptu conversation.These are people who I may have interacted normally while in school but not close friends. I don't know what to ask them.Usually I ask 1.How are you? What are you doing now? Where do you live? Do you keep in touch with other friends.

Other than these 4 questions,I can't seem to fill up the time.It seems awkward and I don't want to come across as distant. I also don't want to be best friends with them because I want the past to be past since I did not have a good experience in school and college.

I want to be friendly and leave a good impression.What do I ask?? I just want some nice questions. How will a perfect conversation go? Please help me be a good acquaintance because I'm sure I am being weird.

I'm going to assume they are most likely feeling exactly the same way...

Often basic chit chat leads to more conversations and questions that will come up naturally.

Don't let this become a monster.. If your around these people and your just wanting to leave .. It's simple .. Set your phone alarm to vibrate and be polite and excuse yourself. They are not active people in your life so no need to feel you owe anyone your life story..
