Csational Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 My life is plainer than plain, that's not my complaint, it works for me. When in comes to conversations, I don't have any funny tales to relate (the time I purchased an extra shrub by mistake, just doesn't leaving LOL). I don't have any terrible stories either. Nothing, I'm content. What can I do to be better at conversations, I'm thinking I should keep it all about them, not me. Help?
sburtug03 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Why will everyone always want the same thing as everyone else? There will be people out there who do not want to hear a load of 'funny' chit chat and just want to discuss what makes you content, serious topics, etc. Be proud of who you are and look for people who will appreciate you for that. I am sure you are not alone and if you are that is brilliant! Be proud to be different, enjoy it! x
Toni_no12002 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 try talking about tv etc if you know what she likes and you dont talk about that etc and explain why you dont like it.women dont want men to like everything they do as it would be boring.dont talk about football all day though lol because thats so dull talk about where you work your family your interests also ask about hers so its not all onesided.your hobbies is a good thing to talk about.where you go drinking.think about things froma womans point of view what they like and try and focus on that then if it gets abit boring lead of to another subject. also dont forget the converstation isnt all up to you she has a mouth as well so she might ask you questions too if you really are stuck with converstaion ask her what her interests are and comment on them like saying yeah thats sounds great id love to do that or something
she_9325 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 if you're content, why should it matter what other people think. just do what you want, screw it.
JPMorgan Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Ask others questions and make sure and listen so you can comment with more than a "uh-huh". Talk about the stuff you read on LoveShack! Some of this stuff is great fodder for casual conversation! I find myself talking about the stuff I read on here -- especially in the political and OW/OM threads.

I don't have any terrible stories either. For what it's worth, I certainly got a laugh out of that! It's possible to be funny even if you don't think you have funny tales to tell. My first impression of you probably have a very gentle, but great, sense of humor. Sometimes it's in the presentation. I have a friend who was telling me about a very tragic event in her life in such a way that we were BOTH laughing! Go figure. Most people will appreciate that quality, of being able to see the humor in life, and of being able to laugh at yourself, rather than moping and complaining.
