How do you make someone more talkative?
This is important I need any tips I can get please, thank you :-)
Well I wouldn't know ,it just comes off the top of my head. Well I believe humor mixed up with a topic is a great idea. You can talk about something you heard on the news, something your doing, something your trying to do, a funny incident or joke you heard about, etc. I make jokes off the little things in a conversation to keep it fresh if I want to , its up to you to figure your own method out. Good luck!
I think you misunderstood my question -_-
When the one your talking to isn't talkative. How do you make them talk? I don't have a problem keeping a convo going. what I mean was when your talking to people with no social skills it just kills me to be the one leading the convo all the time. Annoying, its like "say something you tol for fukks sake" lok..Get it now?
tol = too. .. stupid phone.
I know what you said, I'm sticking to my answer, when you employ humor and a good topic into a conversation with opinions, it will kind of raise the other person comfortably to talk and state their opinion, somewhat like what monkey see monkey do.
Aha I get u. but I'm not funny lol
then someone has some jokes to work on, Lol I'm just kidding, well just try to smile and giggle a lot and see if that works.
ive tried that. Just smiled and giggled back at me, I disnt say anything waiting for her/him to say something now, they didn't and guess what? awkward silence! du dun dunnnnnnn..
Lol, well ask them a personal question or opinion on the topic and imply you won't judge them for their opinion.
find out what he's interested in
ask open-ended questions which can lead to smaller questions and build a conversation
music, movies, politics or something he's passionate about
might make him more confident in speaking
I don't know what he's passionate about because he never talks lol. Whts a random convo starter? a topic you can talk about for hours? I have never had this problem with anyone. very few, must admit I suck at helping him start talking. I ask a lot of questions it doesn't help. I wanna make him talk and be the one whos asking stuff.. do you know wht I mean?
favourite movie, music
aspirations, dreams, hobbies
views on
about you
politics
death penalty
religion
(I don't know if anybody else would find that interesting but I do)
check the search bar, there's bound to be more suggestions there
people who are not so talkative are usually also not so eager to debate/discuss.. I've learned that the hard way lol. and its not like he isn't interested in talking to me because I know for a fact he is. He is just like that with everyone. so calm and gives short ass answers when I ask a question to start a long convo. Sometimes to some of my questions, I can't even belive how he manages to give such short answers lol. Why is he like that? :-S
maybe he's just grown up shy
and doesn't know how to have a proper conversation
maybe he needs time
but despite this do you really like this person
decide that and it'll be easier
im a very social person and can usually make anyone feel like theyve known me for years even if we've just met. I don't get why he is like that. I've met few people like him before but never bothered but yeah I like him why doesn't matter. and yeah he likes me too. again I don't understand what that has anything to do with his lack of social skills
thanks for BA

Take a pen and write something on his/her belly but say he/she may not know what it is until you are satisfied with the conversation =P
Its strange and I have to admit I'm joking a bit.. But I would try it!
Even because its strange you feel not that constrained ;)
LOL that was funny. but I think it would be rude, no? :/
Maybe they are not that interested in talking to you.
Actually I know for a fact (s)he is. So that's not the problem here.
so he sucks at talking to everyone not just you..
yup.
get him drunk then.
emmmkay?
Shy people become more social after a couple beers. He might open up more with a couple pints. If not well then f*** it just get drunk your self. That is always fun.
LOL well call me Mrs Boring because I don't drink alcohol and I've never ever been drunk. but thanks for the suggestion :-p
be friendly and when he/she doesn't talk just keep pursuing ( that's what works with me )
im on my phone and way too lazy to google. but what does "pursuing" mean?
aha. well of course I do. I have tried just so freakishly many things. is it even possible for him to change? become more.. eh.. hmm.. what to call it.. HUMAN.. jk but srsly its annoying and I really wanna help. any ideas? oh by the way do you think I should tell him stright out that him not talking much makes people think he isn't interested and you know just tell him about his situation. do you think that will help or make things worse?
Yes I do but he is not like that only with me. He is like that with everyone. and its not a good thing :/ its annoying lol
im sick of asking questions.. why don't you understand that lol
yeah I understand:) thank you.
