I have spent almost 30 days being a conversation craving quest-er and in that time I have learned quite a few tips! If you’re looking to start up a conversation anytime soon, these tips might come in handy!
1.) Bad breathe equals bad conversation. Never go into a conversation with dragon breath. You want them to smile at you… NOT suffocate. I suggest you pop a mint, chew some gum, or (if capable) gargle some mouthwash before you engage yourself.
2.) Compliment them! “I like your shoes!”
3 3.) Girls love talking about their boyfriends! Some like to complain and some like to boast but pretty much every girl likes to talk about their loved one. Boys on the other hand generally do NOT like to talk about girls or drama.
4.) When it comes to teenage boys I definitely suggest you start off the conversation with anything sports and then end with a bit of friendly teasing.
5.) For those around the retirement age, ask about their grandchildren or past professions! My mom is a banker who often deals with older patrons and she informs me that they love to reminisce!
6.) If a person is non-stop texting or emailing from their phone, then I suggest you steer clear. Obviously they are in the middle of something and they probably do not wish to be interrupted.
7.) Inquire about local restaurants they love or fun places they go.
Everyone likes feeling helpful. :)
8.) Always walk into a conversation with a smile. People are more apt to talk to you if you look like your having a great day and wish to share it with the world! If you look like you are about to hurl and/or cry,
that tends to turn people off.
9.) Laugh at jokes! You do not need to go over the top and seem fake,
but laughter is encouragement! Especially to those who are shy.
