Do You Dare Throw Away The Script And Start A Conversation!
The best way to make your day-to-day interactions truly shine is by starting a conversation. But what do you do if you are suddenly put on the spot and don’t know what to say?
Find out in this blog post as we delve into five easy ways that can help anyone, like you, take their conversations to the next level.
1. Ask About Them
This is a great response that can be used in multiple situations, from the small talk getting to know you conversation to talking about the latest news or events. It’s all about keeping it simple and genuinely wanting to know more about that person. Just ask “How are you?” or “What are you up to?”. You could also try asking about their family and friends directly, if you feel it is rather appropriate.
2. Start A Storytelling
This is one of the easiest ways to strike up a conversation. The best way to do this is by simply changing the subject slightly and revealing more about what you want to talk about. For example, “Did you hear about that crazy thing that happened on the road yesterday?” or “Hey, my boss told me something funny this morning”. This works best if the subject is somewhat related to you or your life and you can relate to it in some way. People love a good story, so why not join in?
3. Just Ask A Simple Question
When in doubt, ask a question. Of course, the difficulty of this depends on the situation and how open you feel your counterpart is to answering. But it’s a great way to get people talking and being more sociable. Questions such as “Do you know anything about this topic?” or “What do you think about this subject?” are great conversation starters.
4. Let Them Do The Talking
You can learn a lot about someone by just letting them do all the talking for a bit. It may seem a bit awkward at first, but don’t worry, it works both ways. People love to talk about themselves, so if you are genuinely interested in what they have to say, just let them do it. In fact, be that person who is genuinely interested in what that person is talking about rather than being the one who talks all the time.
5. Do Something Exciting And Ask
If you meet someone exciting and interesting at a party or any social gathering, it’s okay to ask them if they want to do something exciting and interesting with you! Of course, this could potentially be risky depending on how your counterpart takes the question and how open they are to accepting the offer. But, as long as it’s not too intimidating for them and if you really want to explore something exciting in your life, this is a great way to do it.
