HOW TO HAVE THE PERFECT CONVERSATION
by AJ Williams “The Single Black Chick” #ChickChat
Contrary to popular belief, being a good conversationalist is not something you are just born with. That person you envy because they seem to be able to talk to anybody, maneuver their way through social situations with ease, and automatically inspire confessions and comfort in their conversational partners? Yeah, that person has done some work. They’ve probably read a book, a blog or both on the subject because being good at conversation is like being good at basketball. You don’t just walk onto the court, and miraculously know how to shoot the three — unless you’re Steph Curry. But even he had to practice.
The flip side to this truth is you can learn to be a great conversationalist. Even if you’ve spent your entire life bemoaning your fate because you just aren’t that good a “talker”, wishing you hadn’t blurted that embarrassing fact on your last date or overshared with that handsome stranger at the bar, you can evolve. You just need a little practice. How to get that practice? I like to chat on Livelinks! Livelinks is a chatline where you can connect with local like-minded singles whenever you like. The beauty of phone chat is you can do it anytime, anywhere, and there’s always someone on the line up for having a conversation.
While you chat, you can practice the subtle art of conversation that will lead you to greater success in your relationships and your career… And to help you on your quest for the perfect
conversation, here are three steps to get your conversations — and your dating game — flowing smoothly!
1. Don’t Dismiss Small Talk Small talk gets a bad rep. But it’s not actually the small talk that’s at fault, but the small talkers!
2. Dig a Little Deeper Once you’ve established a level of comfort with the person you are talking to, dig in. It’s time to talk about something that matters because now that you’re in, you want to get real close and cozy.
3. Have Some Fun with It Last but not least, have some fun with it! Don’t worry so much. Relax. We’ve all blundered and blurted and otherwise engaged in interactions we were less than proud of. It’s only human, and the last thing you should be doing is torturing yourself over spilt milk, or in this case, spilt words.
It’s simple really. When you are tense, your conversational partner will pick up on that feeling and respond in kind. Likewise, when you relax, the person you are talking to will be able to relax also. Often, we create awkwardness in situations simply by being uncomfortable. Overcome that, and you will be well on your way to actually enjoying your conversations.
So go ahead, take your new-found conversational skills for a spin… Practice chatting with the singles on Livelinks! And ladies, you’re in luck because you can chat to your heart’s content for free. Put my advice to the test, and I guarantee that conversational spin will turn into a joy-ride in no time.
