How do I start a conversation and keep it going?

Answer 1

keep ur flap open!

Answer 2

First start out by asking what kind of music they're into, what bands they like, their interests etc. Once you find something you guys have in common, build up from there. It will be way easier to keep a conversation going if you talk about something you LIKE talking about. Most people don't find it interesting to talk about the weather. Once the conversation is started, think about questions you could ask next that relate to what the other person's talking about so there aren't any awkward silences. Once you practice these skills, everything will just keep getting easier for you. I hope I helped, and good luck!

Answer 3

A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask questions, particularly if the questions are not too personal, and are complimentary to some degree. Also, asking questions about a person's past, politely, is a good way to get them to open up. Often, the answers to the questions you ask will help you think of ways to comment, or more questions you can ask. If you spend too much time talking rather than listening, you are liable to bore the other person.

Answer 4

You talk about something that you know well and that also happens to be an interesting topic for conversation. Or you pick something easy for him to talk about, like sports or the movies, even if you don't find the topic as interesting as he might.

There are always current events whether national, local, or international to talk about also. Just check Google News for interesting news stories and you will have one or more openings to begin a conversation.

Good luck.

Answer 5

well it depends how ever you want it to start if its on the first date you basically start off by asking some questions base upon what you want to know about them then from there you just have fun with it just as long as the person you talk to is fully into listening and sharing conversation. When you are with friends then its different you just be yourself and try to get in the conversation or you start it off on what ever you want to talk about that your friends will agree on

Answer 6

Ask a question to start a conversation.

Answer 7

I am the perfect person to ask!

This is my area for sure. Just ask the person polite questions about themselves. Sometimes they will open up and other times you need to tell them a little something about yourself first. I normally tell something just a bit embarrassing (not off color of course), but something that shows I am not perfect. People often are timid talking to strangers because they are insecure, if you demonstrate that you are just as human as them they will share with you. By the way don't ever think a person doesn't want to talk cause isn't true most of the time they are just afraid to say something wrong.....

Peace!!

Answer 8

Talk about things you know. Start with the basic small talk things such as:
How's your family...pets...etc.
Then talk about likes and dislikes. Make sure you ask them questions about themselves too. Talk about movies you've seen..hobbies you have. I'm sure you'll find something. As long as both of you contribute the conversation will continue. So if they start to lose interest try to ask them some question that will spark their interest.

Answer 9

If you mean with a guy who you like then you should spark up a conversation with a topic that you know that he is interested in. Or something small, like asking him something about him that you don't know. Small simple talk is the key, which will eventually lead to better and longer conversations.

Good luck

Answer 10

Actually, conversations are easy. Look for something you might have in common. Even weather can be a conversation starter if it is hot or cold. Then your name would be helpful.

Answer 11

talk about what ever comes to mind. Relate to what the other person in the conversation says if u can..
