初次見面的話題必須具有建設性，一些話題禁地有必要知道。
避免聊個人的財政(比如薪資)、政治、宗教、死亡、年齡及外表問題，避免開一些冒犯的玩笑、狹小的主題、過去戀情、殺人王及疾病，這些主題有可能冒犯他人或被人認為是負面的人。閒聊的主要目的是想要打開話題，如果你不注意這些禁忌將使對話停止。
Tom與Jerry正在美術館
Tom: This place is beautiful and full of so many artifacts; we should go and talk to the owner.(Tom: 這個地方很不錯，陳列很多手工藝品，我們去跟主人聊聊。)
Jerry: I have heard that he is very welcoming.(Jerry: 我聽說他很熱情。)
Prince: Welcome to my humble home, my name is Prince.(Prince: 歡迎來到這裡，我叫Prince。)
Jerry: Nice to meet you, my name is Jerry and my friend is Tom. This is a beautiful place. What inspired it?(Jerry: 很高興認識你，我叫Jerry，我的朋友叫Tom。這個地方很不錯，你的靈感是從哪裡來？)
Owner: Well my mother died and I had to make money for myself, my wife left me and I had to find relief, I was fat, much like you are and my previous boss was terrible…. Gosh those were the days.. (主人: 之前我的母親去世，我必須要自己賺錢謀生，妻子的離開，為了走出那些痛苦，過去我很胖，就跟你一樣，我之前的老闆對我很差...)
Tom: (向Prince說) It was nice to meet you. Jerry, let’s chat with other people…(很高興認識你，Jerry，我們去認識其他人。)
Jerry: Tom, am I fat? (Tom，我很胖嗎？)
