WAYS TO SUSTAIN A CONVERSATION (Keep it going):
1. Ask open-ended questions that require more than just a yes or no answer.
2. Share personal stories or experiences related to the topic of conversation.
3. Show genuine interest in what the other person is saying by actively listening and responding to their comments.
4. Use prompts or cues from the conversation to introduce new topics or ideas.
5. Use humor or light-hearted banter to keep the mood relaxed and enjoyable.
6. Avoid talking too much about yourself and give the other person a chance to speak.
7. Be mindful of the other person's body language and facial expressions to gauge their interest and engagement in the conversation.
8. Stay current with current events or trending topics to have new material to discuss.
9. Be curious and ask follow-up questions to delve deeper into a particular topic.
10. Remember that it's okay to have moments of silence or pauses in the conversation – it doesn't always have to be filled with constant chatter.
