Don't get stuck in traffic, or how to keep a conversation moving on a first date This is Dr
Paul, author of Boomer Girls! A Boomer Woman's Guide To Men & Dating, and host of Ask Dr Paul Okay, you got a first date What are we going to talk about? Well, the way in which to keep a conversation going is a lot like playing tennis You throw the ball to them
You bat the ball back to you You know, use that racket; it goes back to them, it goes back to you, so it's a back and forth thing If you try to take over the conversation you're going to become boring for whatever reason Maybe it's not a topic this person's interested in Ask the internal question; watch the smiles, the nods
That's how you keep the conversation going How do you feel about that? Not what do you think about that We're not at the thinking stage here; we're at how you feel about this Now, how did that make you feel? I know; you've heard these things before Use them; it's important, because that's how the conversation ebbs and flows just like the tide
The other person then asks the same of you Well, how would you feel if that happened to you, and you're on a roll It's going to go You may have a specialty that you have, and maybe you're an attorney, maybe you're a dentist, maybe you're some whatever, and you have; computers, whatever it may be he or she, and then you kind of go back and forth with that I don't know a whole lot about what you are into, but I find it interesting
What does that happen when you do this Then they'll say fine and they may return that The important thing, it's a back and forth, it's a flow, an ebb and and flow just like the tide like I said before And keep that conversation going, and by doing that you'll keep that relationship going This is Dr
Paul May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow
