letter from "Boring"
Dear Ms Independent:
I am single and trying to play the field. I am pretty good looking and
do not have a hard time getting men to talk to me. My problem is that
after a short period of time I run out of stuff to talk about and start
fumbling for words. It always seems that whoever it is ends up running
away from me and moving on to the next girl available. How can I make
myself more interesting to men without having to learn everything about
football or golf? Boring
Answer to Boring:
Become a good listener and let the other person lead the conversation.
Hopefully you will find out that they are interest in the same things
you are, but if not and they choose a topic you are not familiar with, but
would like to learn more about, let them know that. Most likely they
will relish the idea that there is someone who is less knowledgeable on
the subject and end up talking your ear off about it. If you are looking
for someone who is in a particular field or sport etc. do some research
on the current events on that subject so you can carry on a conversation
about this interest. Never try to bluff your way through a topic, it
will always show ignorance one way or another.
A good listener doesn't
think of interesting things to say while the other person is still
talking, instead they listen to all the other person has to say then
asks a question or makes a comment on the statement or questions they
just heard. This way you don't miss any points the speaker is trying to
make and you don't end up hogging the conversation, especially if it
ends up not being related to the subject (because you weren't
listening).
If you find the other
person is not interested in anything you have to say, run. They are
probably boring and unexciting themselves. There are a lot of men out
there who like nothing more than to hear the sound of their own voice.
When you are talking to them, their mind seems to wander and they
daydream. Again, run, you shouldn't be interested in this kind of jerk
anyway.
