What topics interest you? Do you have tips for people who struggle to make sparkling or interesting conversation? What are some good icebreakers for starting a conversation with a stranger whether online or offline? My mind is alive with curiosity. My interest topics are wide ranging. Tips? Online: Spaces, Capitalization and Spelling. Proof read, post and reread and edit if needed. Not too many smileys - Less is more. Offline: Speak clearly. Say what you mean. Observe their reaction and clarify if needed. Restrain negativity. Own your words, "I do this" not "YOU should do this" or "YOU did this". Find natural commonality. Have an open and welcoming stance. If you must use gestures, keep them minimal, not flamboyant. Ice Breakers: Observe the person for patterns that reflect their natural interests. Look for common things that might help establish a connection. Smile. Smiles break the ice more often than you might think. Understand that every person is different and a conversation relies on both of you to have a desire to have it. Edit to correct one word for spelling - yes, it matters. |

Im gonna deal with your post in fragments Tom since they are actually really good points! What I would say though , is that alot of people dont speak English as their first language so I try to have some patience with those who dont get the grammar, spelling etc right, including the people who speak English as their first language, but who havent been formally educated. And what about typing with cellphones? Between that damn autocorrect that types words you never intended and thst tiny screen that makes it hard to see what you wrote clearly, its a recipe for disaster! Im just sayin... |

Not too many smileys - Less is more. I kinda agree with you on this one Tom. If you have been talking to a person for a while, lots of emoticons /emojis are cool, but when Im just meeting someone, a dozen hearts, flowers, smiles or kisses is soooooooo corny, especially from a guy! The same goes for putting lol at the end of EVERY SENTENCE. I doubt anyone could be that amused

I have many interests, I do like the conversation we have in the forums and how they digress into something far from the original topic, that's conversation and with a little wit thrown in it make a tense,disagreeable, sad topic into one many can relate to

Smart azzes in abundance here  .. and yes, the digression is often more fu than the topic itself lol |

Between that damn autocorrect that types words you never intended and thst tiny screen that makes it hard to see what you wrote clearly, its a recipe for disaster! Im just sayin... I am well aware that some people have a language barrier. I also know very well the communication issues inherent to cell phones. Both are reasons to try that much harder to have effective communication. I don't express myself on foreign sites because I am not fluent enough to do so. I don't want my meaning lost in translation. I don't use my cell phone here because that tool is insufficient for the task at hand. I have a choice, some people don't. My tips were not directed to foreign people here. They can be relative for them, if they are expressing themselves on a site in their own language. |
