It happens that we find ourselves in situations when we absolutely do not know what to talk about, and how to start a conversation. Especially often this happens at any party when a girl is left alone with a guy. The girl is shy, and the young man, in general, is speechless.
Instruction manual
1
Remember, it may very well be that your interlocutor is even more shy than you, so put aside all doubts and take the initiative in your own hands. Begin the conversation first.
2
Behave naturally. Do not be afraid to seem stupid. Relax and enjoy the conversation.
3
Remember, all people are terrible egoists, therefore, if you want to attract an interlocutor to yourself, take an interest in his life and his affairs. In this case, do not be unceremonious. Do not start too deeply interested in the personal life of the interlocutor. Leave these topics for later when you get to know each other better.
4
Never start by talking about your problems. You may seem like a failure.
5
Do not be afraid to seem commonplace, because almost all topics for the first conversation are commonplace. The same conversation about the weather can be diversified with jokes and witty sayings. Do not be afraid to improvise.
6
If you feel that the conversation is dying away, ask a question that would concern the interlocutor personally. Move the center of the conversation to him. In this case, be sure to call the person by name.
7
Smile more often during the conversation. A smile always has, especially when it comes to the first meeting.
8
The first conversation is a presentation of the interlocutors in the eyes of each other, so a slight exaggeration of their merits is possible. But do not overdo it, otherwise you will seem like a bouncer.
9
And do not forget, no matter what you say, it is very important to look into the interlocutor’s eyes. If you look anywhere, but not at the person you are talking to, they won’t listen to you.
