My advice on how to have a better conversation
Posted : 27 Nov, 2011 11:48 AM

...When someone messages you and asks you a question, and you want to get into conversation with them, not only answer their question, but ask them a question back in the same reply you are sending.



I say this because I've had it happen more than once that someone contacted me and then only answered my questions, and never (or rarely) asked me any questions.



So if you want someone to feel more engaged, ask them questions. It gets their mind rolling and shows them that you want to know who they are.

Good info. To me that just seems like common sense, right? Perhaps not everyone is thinking like I am.

That's true, but I think some people won't ask questions to show they are not interested, and are just being polite in answering your questions:)

jvea,

Perhaps more common sense should be enforced. If someone gets a message and is not interested, say so. Can't fault someone for being clear.

No need to string along someone if there is no interest.
