The "Art" of conversation

When it comes to the art of conversation we've all met people who seem to have the knack for it. They can talk to anybody about anything and they seem to do it with complete ease. And while it's true that there are those who are born with the gift of gab, luckily for the rest of us, conversation skills can be developed and mastered.

Always have some guard before you tell all.

A conversation is a form of communication; however, it is usually more spontaneous and less formal. We enter conversations for purposes of pleasant engagement in order to meet new people, to find out information and to enjoy social interactions. As far as types of conversation, they vary anywhere from intellectual conversations and information exchanges to friendly debate and witty banter.

Conversation during a dance may end up in a slap if the hands take advantage of the intimate moment.

While there is more to having good conversation skills than being a comedian, dramatic actor, or a great storyteller, it is not necessary to become more gregarious, animated, or outgoing. Instead, you can develop the ability to listen attentively, ask fitting questions, and pay attention to the answers - all qualities essential to the art of conversation. With diligent practice and several good pointers, anyone can improve their conversation skills. 

While you don't have to be a comedian, entertainer, or brilliant raconteur, you do need to be interesting otherwise what would you say?

You could maybe talk about the famous painting by Edward Hopper "Nighthawks" if you are into art. Perhaps you may even learn something about that person. Conversations are kind of like art, you paint the picture with words and try to get your vision across to the other person. Either way be yourself, relax and share "you". It is all good.
