Interview Convo's!!!!
Posted 03-20-2010 at 08:28 PM by Krystal
Does anyone else hate that? When someone messages you and they can't really have a convo they just ask you vague questions like
"Tell me about yourself?"
"Tell me your interests?"
"What are your goals in life?"
Just one after another, than they get upset when you don't ask them questions. If i mentioned something you like chime in and talk about it, don't wait to be asked.
Like ya i know people are shy and what not but even so, you can divide it up and make it feel less vague and interviewish.
Like if you want to know my interests, don't ask me to list them all. Ask me "Do you like movies?" -- "oh cool, whats your favorite? Have you seen 'blah blah'"
"Going out dancing tonight, do you dance?"--- "ah fun! ^.^ what else do you enjoy besides dancing"
See? picking more specific topics can help get a conversation moving for those having trouble.
Don't ask someone about themselves and expect a full life history waiting to find something to pick out that you have in common. Just talk.
Also find this really annoying.
them: "Hi"
me: "hello"
them: how are you?"
me: "very fine, yourself?"
them: "good thanks."
...(slight pause)
them: "So what do you want to talk about?"
>.<
Sorry random little rant over
