To find more about someone's hobbies all you have to do is use an "ice-breaker". You reveal one of your hobbies (a sport or something), you are effectively creating trust and then ask if they have a similar hobby or interest. In my experience, people respond better, if you reveal something about yourself as then they don't precieve the questions as one sided intrusion of privacy. Am I making any sense?

Yeah that makes sense. I suck at conversation in general, spare me having to come up with the topic.
