Look for activities, stories and the style of conversation someone says they enjoy. A baker who experiments with one ingredient every week may be more interesting to you than someone who lists all the hobbies you have.
A related interest can work well. If you grow plants and someone cooks, ask what they can make with an ingredient you’re trying to grow.
Offer a question and an exchange
“I’m learning to make bread in a tiny kitchen. What do you actually use your oven for?” reveals something about you and leaves the other person room to surprise you.
