9 Tips for Making a Good Conversation

6. Talk about common interests

Talking about common interests in terms of sports, a hobby, education, friendships or anything else are excellent ways to initiate and lead a good conversation.

7. Lead on after a few seconds of silence

At a random point of time, the two of you may fall short of words and go blank. During such moments, smile briefly and you could do the honors all over again. At this point of time, try bringing up something more relevant.

8 Smile and laugh

Keep the conversation lighthearted and humorous. Witty humor is something that will instantly help you strike a note with a person. Smile at regular intervals.

9. Don’t turn the conversation negative

Instead of talking about boring people and their boring deeds, talk more about interesting topics. The worst thing you could do is bad mouthing any of your mutual friends. You could ask the other person if the two of you could catch up over the weekend for some water sports or jogging. Such conversation is deemed intelligent in every way.
