Conversation Openers

Conversation Openers

If you want to start a relationship, you've got to initiate the dialogue. Here are

some great openers.

 If your special someone is a specialist, ask "How do you…?" or

"What's it like to…?"

 Ask about experiences, like "Have you ever tried to…?" or "Have you

ever gone to…?

Find out what interests your special someone. Give compliments inbetween

conversations. Always stay calm and relaxed. Be curious and

interested. Nod to signify that you're listening. Say, "Wow," "Great," "I see," etc.

The Touch

A simple touch to the body can have a thousand different meanings

depending on how you perceive the power of touch in body language. It is a

basic need to be touched. We definitely need to be stroked and have physical

contact with other people to survive. As we mature, we continue to heed that

need of touching and being touched.

Touch can convey respect and trust, and is also a way to differentiate

power between people.

Touching as an ingredient of body language can be a powerful tool if done

with finesse, with precision, and with accuracy. You must learn the art of touching

in order to send your signals to the other person.

Timing is important, as some people will react negatively if you touch them

too soon or too much. It has to be done at the right time in a suitable way, or the

result would not be one that you expect. Be keen to the circumstances and the

mood.

You can determine the appropriateness of your touch and your ability to

adjust to the circumstances, by how your receiver reacts to it. If the person

seems to lean or get closer to you, you‘ve made the right move. But if the person

seems to back off, this means you did not touch properly, so you have to make

some adjustments.
