Every conversation must eventually draw to a close -- but not a disaster! Avoid these areas of discussion and spare yourself any dating drama.

You must have said something like the men I meet say to me. perhaps? IE, crude/vulgar/suggestive or job-snobbery/condescending. Try and avoid all of those 'ratfalls' and hit somewhere close to a give and take conversation.

Their has got to be more answers than this non specific advice. Like maybe to have written about certain examples of being in a business firm how to handle with tact discretion most situations and how to defuse them. I personally as hard as it may be have listened to those less interesting people and pretended sometimes that I did not know what they were talking about just to let them steer the subject to more explanation driven topics. Then politely thank them for their time and move on.

When you want to end a covnerstaion, it's because there's no chemistry. You stand up, you say, "I'm sorry, there's no chemistry, but I wish you the best in finding the person who's meant for you.. You then leave. You've wasted neither yours or their time.

Word to the wise: If you're on a date, excusing yourself to refill the chips and dip with a plan to leave the premises or join another table would be worse than rude. Clearly this article is more about how to be polite in general social situations, like talking to people at a party or bar, not how to end a bad date with someone you met on eharmony...

OK, I know this is a thoroughly old fashion idea but all yoursuggestions are based on a self centered, egotistical approach to having a conversation with someone. You know "It's all about ME and MY time." How about suggesting that you practice good listening skills, try to honestly related to what the other person is telling you, look for a real level of appreciation and trust the other person has placed in you.


After all, isn't this what you want them to be doing for you? I hear people all day talking"AT" each other and thinking about themself. Meeting another person and getting a little insight,(any part) beginning, middle or end of a conversation is suppose to be about the two of you.To end the conversation, if you have beenactually havingone with the other person is a simple; say,” Thank you" for their time and you will be giving their feelings, ideas ...etc. more thought.


By the way, thanks for listening to me here. Please try this good mannered approach, you may find yourself meeting and liking some really wonderful people you would have totally missed out on when it's all about you. Furthermore, they never really get a chance to get to know you.


Makes me smile to meet great people. ...... Love 2smiletoo

Well -- if you posted a picture, and I could actually see wnat you look like, I might be able to tell you why they look at you like that -- or at least speculate! Why are you hiding, anyway!?
