Most people will think you are an excellent conversationalist if you get them talking about themselves and ask them questions that give them the opportunity to share their opinions.
I find that I'm more likely to have meaningful friendships with people who I share interests with and who balance talking and listening. If you're meeting a lot of new people, remember that in a way, it's a numbers game; for every 10 people that you get to know, probably only one or two will have genuine relationship potential. |
