5 Basic Conversation Tip

Alright guys, so when it comes to having a conversation, with the hot girl next door, the guy in front of you buying coffee or someone on the bus, a light conversation can make the wait seem shorter, or even lead to a phone number.

My theory is that the more people you talk to, regardless of who they are, how hot they are, how old they are; the more people you talk to the more conversational confidence you build. So when it comes to talking to that important boss for an interview or its that 10 second window you have to catch a girls attention, you'll be ready and this important person, will just become a regular conversation. No pressure.

1. It has been said many times before, but BODY LANGUAGE is key. Eye contact establishes interest and honesty. Smile! Smiling allows the other person to feel comfortable and not as if they're being audited.

2. Keep the conversation's topic light. For example, don't talk about politics or financial issues. If they're banned from dinner tables, they're banned from light conversations. You want the conversation to be relaxing and casual. Anything too heavy will may make you seem overbearing and even intrusive.

3. Starting the conversation may seem tricky at first. But use your environment around you to start a conversation. I like to call them "platforms" on which you can began the conversation. You don't need cheesy pick up lines or awesome one liners. A basic "Hi, how's your day going?" works just fine.

4. Be humorous. Say something that will make you stand out. But for the love of God, no dirty jokes please. You pervert. Kidding. But humor makes the conversation proceed, it allows the other person to react to your statement and making the other person laugh is always a plus.

5. Know when to end the conversation. No one likes awkward silence. You can go from nice guy at the coffee shop to awkward conversation inline in a heart beat. So when you can tell the other person is losing interest and seems distracted, there is nothing wrong with cutting the conversation short. You can always end it with an "Alright, have a good day," "Or nice talking to you."

*BONUS!
Because who doesn't love free stuff?!
6. Don't be shy or afraid to ask the person's name. If the conversation is flowing and the other person seems open, ask their name and introduce yourself. It gives that personal touch. And if you're talking to a lady, you just met Stephanie, Susie or Sandy, whatever it is.

Or maybe you've been reading this blog... and you met ALL 3 of the ladies in one day.
You get those phone number you awesome fans you.
