How To Keep A Conversation Going

Ask me a question, or leave me
a comment.

You're sitting next to someone
you'd like to talk to, but your
mouth dried out. There isn't a
mumble from you, for twenty
minutes. The two of you are
looking at the cracks in the
ground, and she decides to
depart. Or, she doesn't
want to be in your company,
again.

What a bad moment in your
life?

Keep the conversation going by
saying one word, any word.

Yes, one word.

The word hair, for example.

"Your hair is nice."

Put any other words with it.
The person will comment, and
the conversation keeps going.

If the it stops, try another
word.

Look at the situation of being
in a meeting. You have questions,
thoughts, but can't spit them out.
A few are talking, but they
counted on your input to put it
over the top.

What do you tell them when the
meeting is over?

The one word would have helped.

Smile, for instance, would
have taken your mind away from
the tension.

It would have allowed you to
articulate words.

Take a breath, let it out slowly,
and say your word. Practice at
home, if necessary.

Use one word conversation starters
in a family gatherings, meetings,
and/or any congregation of people.
You will be amazed at the conversations
one word can ignite.
