Extending the Conversation
2:21:7 2023-10-09 1483

1- Keep it light. You can't expect miracles to take place in the initial interactions with someone. All you can hope for is an initial rapport to be created. Your best chance at this is to stick to topics that are interesting and entertaining to talk about; it can help to interject some light humor into the conversation as well. 

  • Avoid talking about problems in your life or other negative situations. If you've experienced people's eyes glazing over when such topics are raised, it's simply because few people expect to have to deal with heavy situations or problems in a casual, conversational context.
  • Most people are looking for polite, interesting, and lighthearted topics to discuss and a negative insertion can really put blight on the moment, bringing to a halt any further conversation.

 


2- Allow for silence. Silence doesn't have to be awkward — it allows you to gather an opinion on the other person or to think up conversation topics he would enjoy. It gives both of you a breather and a moment of refined pause. 

  • Silence can become awkward, however, if you get nervous or try to cover up the silence because you're worried about it.




3- Share common interests. If you find that you both like running, for example, spend more time talking about this shared interest. However, do be aware that you will eventually have to move on from the topic at a certain point. A 45-minute conversation about running would be awkward for most people. 

  • Discuss others who share your interest and their achievements. For example, you might both know the marathon winner from last season and one of you might be able to expand on what this person has been up to since winning.
  • Talk about new gear, new equipment, new insights, new tactics, etc. to do with your shared interest.
  • Suggest new things that you could both try in your shared interest, perhaps even making a date to catch up and try something new together.
