[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to be interviewed. You need to include tidbits about yourself because a real conversation is give and take. You: What are you up to this summer? Me: I'm taking sailing classes for the first time! You: Wow, what made you decide to do that? Me: I've always loved boats and find the water really calming. What are you doing this summer? You: I'm aiming to read a book each week. Me: Cool, what are you reading this week? You see? Give and take. [/quote] This is good advice. I have a difficult time with small talk and also not great at these things. No, I would not like those probing questions. If there are uncomfortable dead silence and no one is talking it is usually safe to ask if anyone has any upcoming trip planned and then also you can talk about summer plans you have too. Another idea is ask if they have any pets and you can say if you have any. A lot of people like to talk about their pets. [/quote]
