1 moMaybe in certain situations where silence is more awkward than the small talk itself. Taking a cab or Uber to get to the airport, meeting your neighbors, work collegues who go up and down the lift with you at the office...
I prefer real connections and talk about important things, but I can only do that with a limited group of people.

u 1 moDepends on what you are calling small talk. Early in a relationship, conversation should be a balance of serious conversation (goals for marriage/family, religious choices, flexibility for relocating, etc.) and less serious topics. E. g., there should be some conversation that involves displaying your sense of humor. If that is what we are talking about, that is how my first two or three dates usually proceeded and I almost always enjoyed them.
10 Reply 3.2K opinions shared on Dating topic. Of course I like small talk because that's how you get to know somebody
And I look at people that don't enjoy it as selfish and they want to make everything all about them so yeah I'm pretty easy going and somebody has to say something say it10 Reply- 3.5K opinions shared on Dating topic.
1 moI don't find small talk annoying, but I don't always enjoy it either. It depends on who I'm talking with and what the topics of the small talk are.

1 moI love it. Especially if it's done with a very attractive woman. For me, it's foreplay. It's a great way to flirt. Even hotter if the subject of sex comes up and while she's telling me her sexual fantasies, the conversation ends abruptly, making her want (so badly) to carry on our conversation.
10 Reply2.1K opinions shared on Dating topic. I find it tedious.
I would rather have meaningful conversations with people
Or at least purposeful ones
But I find that if we ignore small talk people will assume we donāt like them
And sometimes thatās bad10 ReplyHonestly, it depends on my mood...
If I am in a good mood or my social battery is higher than usual then I might actively participate otherwise I won't that willing to participate...23 Reply- 1 mo

I work with a lot of women too and I know some women are bi and they just want to get to know me better - 1 mo
That type of conversations are prohibited in our work environment. Strictly work ⦠or the other small talk⦠I stay awayā¦. Work, go home.
1 moIt depends on the people, sometimes a small talk can lead to something really fun.
Or the idea behind the small talk is how much you can agree or disagree with eachother's mindset or common things.
As soon as you established something that you both liked the conversation blossom.
It's just a way to establish something which you can build upon.10 Reply2.6K opinions shared on Dating topic. It can be a lot of fun if you're talking to someone who is interesting and funny.
What I find annoying is talking about serious topic with people who think they are informed but don't know shit. And that's 99% of people.10 ReplyI guess it depends on the person and the topic, I wouldnāt want to sit around talking to someone about how to file taxes or what the weathers like when you can just look up and all around you for better answers.
20 Reply458 opinions shared on Dating topic. Just depends on who it is if it's someone I don't care for then I want them to get straight to the point and stop wasting my time but if it's someone I do care for then small talk like talking about how nice the weather's been I'm down for.

1 moLove it when it's interesting or people have a vibe/someone drives it, not when it's done to be boring or when someone has no vibe. This doesn't account for shyness, moreso fakeness, I understand shyness and basic non intrusive questions.
