Monday, February 20th, 2012Anyone can have a conversation
Here’s how to have an amazing one!
Talking is all part of successful dating, so make sure that when you open your mouth you are doing it effectively. So many people clam up and ruin the start of a potential great match. So here are some quick tips to boost your chances.
1) Ask Questions. The best way to be likeable is to be interested in the other person. Ask good questions that show you find them fascinating.
2) Listen. This is so important and easy to get wrong. You really need to keep up your concentration so you don’t look bored. You must face the person speaking with your arms uncrossed. Lean forward a little and maintain eye contact at all time. Acknowledge statements with a nod, comment or question when appropriate.
3) Keep it light hearted. This isn’t a job interview so relax and enjoy the conversation. If you can make them smile or laugh then you are doing and saying the right things.
4) Know what’s happening in the world. The goal is to keep the other person stimulated and interested. Read newspapers and keep an eye on the headlines as well as the pop culture gossip!
5) Speak at the right pace. Don’t speak to quickly or bore them to tears. The right tempo is a positive, upbeat, thoughtful one.
6) You don’t need to fill in all the gaps. Every conversation has short periods of silence. Don’t panic and feel you have to gabble on about something just for the sake of it. Instead, use the moment to quietly reflect on what’s being said.
Happy dating!
