Are you a good conversationalist? Me, not really. If you talk to me for fifteen minutes I guarantee a couple of those wonderful awkward silences inbetween.

NO! not at all! i'm really bad at speaking to ppl i don't know. i'm just the worst. it's like, you just can't have an intelligent conversation with me. it's proven to be impossible.

I'm not the BEST conversationalist but, i'm usually the one who has to break the silence for other girls. Sometimes i think of the weirdest things to talk about. I hate the silence with other people. Makes me feel... weird. . .

It depends on whom I'm speaking with and what the subject is.

I'm an all right conversationalist. Usually random questions and stuff I say is what keeps the conversation going if there's a chance of awkward silences happening.
But then again, if there were any awkward silences, I'd start laughing.

well, i can keep conversations going for hours, switching from topic to topic, but yeah. there are always times with awkward pauses for me to think up more questions/things to say...
but that's only with people i'm familar with, like my best friends. if it's with someone i just met or someone i don't know so well, i'd be a good conversationalist. and i'd be asking a lot of questions like what's your favorite band? and what's your favorite gaming console? and Mets or Yankees?, ect. and so yeah. |

I'm alright at conversations, unless the person makes me feel awkward, then yeah, I suck at conversations.

I'm pretty good on the phone, but I think I'm pretty great in person.
I have to say, Kathleen is an amazing phone conversationalist (I wouldn't know about in person, but I am pretty sure she's just as great). Though I detest talking on the phone, I have shared with Kathleen the only phone conversations that I have actually enjoyed, COMPLETELY VOID of awkward silence. She's going to reply soon, saying something about how I never call anymore. I'M SORRY, OKAY. I TRY. :[ KATHLEEN, I AM FREE WHENEVER NOWADAYS, SO YOU CAN CALL IF YOU WANT. WHENEVER. :] |

i will not allow an akward silence when im talking to someone haha. but sometimes its inevitable to happen. =/ but i absolutely hate it haha.
most of the time im the guy that has to keep the conversation flowing. maybe thats why i like chicks that can hold a conversation. and if know you well, psh. thats not even a question. |

A good conversationalist? Hmm i don't know i haven't had any complaints as yet. There have been times in the past were people have told me i talk funny because of my need to use proper english over the current slang others use to save time. I love intelligent conversations because it gives you a proper bond between you and the recipient. What do you think ladies and gentlemen?

I'm a pretty boring person to talk to, but I'm a good listener.
Again, it depends on who I'm talking to, because there are some people I can have phone conversations with for 5+ hours. |
