COMMUNICATION: How To Flirt, Start Conversations And Keep Them Going? What To Say After The First "Hello" | Page 5
Make sure you pick a line that is suitable and to say it in an amused and amusing way!
Because you want to build a conversation, it is good to end answers with a question:
I think, … and you?
How about you?
Are you also going? ---- coming?
How do you do this?
Where did you find it?
What do you think of?
Open questions make it easy for the other to take their part in the conversation:
These are questions which begin with : who, what, where, why, when or how
Open questions cannot be dealt with by simply answering yes or no.
An other interesting kind of questions to get the ball rolling are: probing questions:
Interesting - Specifically what kind of … do you mean?
Great – Can you tell a little bit more about it?
What exactly do you mean by that?
That’s interesting - Can you go into some more detail on that?
I see – And what is your personal opinion about …?
Or reflective questions, which echo the statement the other just made:
She: “No, thank you, but there is no time for that now.”
You: No time?
You can first summarize what the other just said, to show that we are interested, and then guide the
conversation with a new question:
I see … is important to you, what else is high on your list of priorities?
I totally agree that …., what else do you have on your mind?
I understand that ……, what else is important to you?
Remember :
If you fail to prepare,
You are preparing to fail!
