    We’ve all been there - you’re in conversation, things are humming along nicely and then out of nowhere the awkward silence rears it’s head. At just that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to.
    That scenario sucks so here are 5 tips to make sure you never run out of things to say in conversation
    0:20 Play Reminds Me of
    0:54 Ask open-ended questions
    1:40 Use revival questions
    2:37 Make a complimentary cold read
    3:00 Flip the script and let them be the one to talk

    I told my first date „You look like you enjoy McDonalds quite a lot!“
    She really opened up, even raised her voice. It brought so much energy to the conversation.

    1. Say ‘this reminds me of..’
    2. Ask open ended questions.
    3. Ask ‘why?’
    3. Use revival questions - like ‘How do you guys know each other?’
    5. Ask them about their future plans
    6. Compliment them
    7. Allow the other person to move the conversation by maintaining eye contact, or repeat the last words they said to encourage them to continue

The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

      pkmaniac what I do and works fine, is to answer their last question, start leading the conversation and show interest in what the other person says, then without letting them say anything else I just say something like "so yeah that's what I think (or something like this depending on the situation), anyway it was nice talking to you, gotta go now". Basically, interrupt yourself to end the conversation, not the other person

      Key to is start off the conversation with a disclaimers saying "I'm on my way to ____" or "I've got some work/something to do" to let them know that you could leave at any moment with good reason. Then, when you actually want to end the convo, interrupt yourself after you finish your thought and mention that you have to leave for ______ that you already mentioned at the start. It makes exiting the convo a lot less awkward.

      @JetBlackJester
      I think that talking about fitness to a woman brings up different connotations than if you talk about fitness to a man, quite simply because a man talking to a woman about her body is considered flirting or at least borderline usually, while guys are not as sensitive on the topic.
      That said, at a setting where people are supposed to interact, and given the information I am aware of, I feel like she could have cut you a little more slack and tried to guage your intentions before coming to a conclusion.
      In summary, I believe all parties involved could have done better, its just a little unfortunate that the learning experience for you was rather awkward.

    1. Open ended questions (how do you like ?)

    3. When the conversation stalls, use revival questions:
    - "How you guys know one other?"
    - "What's your story?". The person might give options on what specifically, then you can read which option was mentioned in a more excited tone of voice
    - "What are your plans to the future?"
    4. Complimentary cold read (you look like you are pretty into )
    5. In a cold silence, deep breath and keep easy eye contact. Alternatively, repeat the last words they've said

    What I've found is that people looove to talk about themselves! If you want to keep the conversation going, act like everything they say is the most interesting thing you've ever heard and you want to hear every single detail.
    You study commerce? What do you do? What job would you pursue in the future? What are the assignments like? Your parents made you study it, what do your parents do? What would you rather be studying instead, why? Every single piece of detail is a prompt that you can keep building on.
    And most of all, remember that the other person is a human being too! Chances are they want to keep the conversation going too and they'll want to cooperate with you. While trying to come up with ways to keep it going, remember to actually listen to what the other party is saying as well!

    My dad, who is really great at socializing, taught me one rule:
    Try asking your conversation partner questions about him/her. Not only will it lead to new conversation topics like they mentioned in the video, it also gives you time to think about how to follow up after they finish. As an introvert, this works greatly for me.

    As someone who always has been more reserved, you’ll definitely run into those people who love to talk and will do most of the work of the conversation for you.

    If one runs out of things to say, then that's perfectly ok. Just remain silent. Such is natural. Afterall, the person needs to get used to you when you're speaking and when you're not speaking to keep everything natural. There's a natural flow to everything. There's no need to force the conversation. If the conversation is forced, then it would appear that way too.
    As the saying goes, Silence is golden!

      I do that practically all the time by accident bc of not often starting convos (unless with already established friends)

      I disagree. I've been practicing this my entire life because I enjoy silence. But it hasn't made me "cool" or curate any kind of vibe that anyone else notices. Mainly it makes me forgettable, which is good. I don't want boring people to remember me, only the ones worth talking to.

      I like to channel the Oz character from Buffy. Only ever say a few words at any one time, and only ever say a sentence or chime in now and then. Otherwise just sit quietly and impassive, chilling with a neutral smile or deadpan look.

    1) ______ reminds me of
    2) Use open questions
    3) Why?
    4) Revival questions? (e.g. tell me your story)
    5) Flip the conversation to them

    As someone with Autism, I struggle with maintaining conversations and there’s tone of awkward silences. It’s mostly due to the only questions I can think of in the moment being closed ended ones. I’m starting a new job this week and I’m gonna try and use some of these tips to help me.
