20 Fun Topics You Must Talk About With Your Friends

Your friends have come over for a night of talk, lighthearted fun, and relaxation. Maybe a little less talking and a lot more wine! One friend suggests you watch Game of Thrones, but she’s overruled. All of you can recite the episodes verbatim. Now what? By the way, did you like Game of Thrones or did you just watch to have something to talk about with your friends at parties or to your coworkers at the office?

It may be your favorite TV show but let's leave that for now. Back to your living room. There you are staring at your friends, and they’re staring back at you. No one is talking. They’re expecting you to entertain them. Why did you forget to check the weather? All your great ideas from Pinterest are blown due to the torrential downpour outside. The only thing that would make it worse would be if the storm knocked the power out.

Pin the tail on the donkey. That was fun when you were kids in class together. Dang it, you’ve forgotten the rules for pin the tail on the donkey; not that you have a donkey anyway. Yikes! Did you just consider playing a children’s game with your “adult” friends? Thankfully, you didn’t talk out loud. Where’s your game of Cards Against Humanity? Your little brother borrowed them to play with his friends? Jerk! Now, what?

The good news is, you don't need to look that far to enjoy a cold and rainy night at home with your friends. Here’s a list of topics to talk about and after a glass of wine (or two) you and your friends will be laughing until everyone’s sides hurt. They’ll be talking about this night for months.
