You can ask the other person about their hobbies, what they do in their free time, their likes and dislikes, whether they like sports or not, whether they like some genre of movies and music, etc. You can also talk about your own hobbies, interests, like and dislikes in return.

Therefore, it is imperative to choose your words properly and also respond with sensitivity and maturity.
