Master Don Juan
hey guys, I was hoping some of u could help me out.
I'm horrible at conversation. I've read posts on conversation, with tips such as "be a good listener" and things like that, but I've run into a few problems.
1) people dont give me much to vibe off of.
ADDMAN: hey, whats goin on today?
her: nothing much
ADDMAN: you can give me more than that, whats goin on?
her: nothing. hung with friends, whatever.
I cant milk much from there.
they think they're boring, so they dont bother telling me anything exciting.
2) I'm worried that if I show too much enthusiasm in them and their hobbies, I'll be showing too much interest and that will turn them off.
3) I understand that I dont want to give up too much information bout myself right away. but if I dont include some about me, the convo will fizzle out. where do I draw the line?
a lot of good advice is on topics to avoid. thats all well and good, but what are some good universal topics I can speak to them about?
any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
