I'm talking about how to not run out of things to say.

A lot of my students ask me what is the best way to keep up conversation.

I think one of the hardest parts for guys when meeting women

is being able to talk to them.

You know, they're already kind of nervous so their head is spinning in circles and

they can't think of the next thing to say.

We'll today I'm going to teach you a great trick

to help out with that.

When you're in conversation

the best thing that you can do

is listen.

Okay. So stop listening to all the thoughts in your head

and start listening to the person that you're talking to.

The most important thing

is to remain present.

So when you're in conversation,

what's happening

is that you guys are talking about different topics. Right, so some sort of

topic is being brought up and you have to pay attention to these, okay? You've

got to be listening to what topic is being brought up

because this is what you're going to use in order to continue conversation. So

for example,

let's say you guys are talking about

cats

comes up in conversation.

Now there's only so many ways

to direct this conversation about cats.

Say you do have a cat.

Now great. You can talk about having the cat, you can relate to her

about her having a cat. Now you have something to say.

Or maybe you don't have a cat.

Now you can start asking questions. What's it like to have a cat?

You know, what are some funny cat stories that you have. The best part is no matter

what the topic is, you always have a whole route to go.

All these different routes play a part in your conversation.

So it doesn't really matter if you know something about the topic or not.

Whatever at the topic is you can either ask a question

to be curious and find out more, maybe something that she knows about the topic,

or maybe you can relate it back to a story,

or just talk about anything else with your own personal experience regarding

the topic. These are the different routes for conversation. A lot of this is based

around improv techniques so you have to be good improvisation. So this is like a

social muscle that has to be worked out and that's going to be with going out

and having a ton of conversations. Another option for you, if you live in a big city,

I'm sure there's a lot of different improv classes that you can take. These are really

good because these help you stay focused, stay present and come up with quick

responses. That's what all these improv classes do so that's another option for

you. So let me just summarize exactly what this technique is. What you're doing

is you're talking to a girl

or guy, whoever,

and you're extracting a word from what they're saying

and you're either going to ask a question about it, make a statement about it,

talk about an experience that you can relate to.

So it's working off of tangents, taking different topics then going off

on tangents about it. Hope you guys enjoyed this episode of Tripp's Tips. My name
