<p><strong>Tip #1: Master the art of conversation by smiling when talking and listening.</strong></p>
<p>A smile is very powerful for several reasons. First, it softens your voice and makes you sound warm and friendly in conversation. Masters of small talk know how powerful this is.</p>
<p><span id="more-131"></span></p>
<p>Second, a smile makes you feel more confident. Studies have shown that just smiling makes you feel more happy. A happy person leaves a great impression.</p>
<p>Third, a smile makes you approachable. Do you want to talk with a scowling person and make small talk. No? Neither does the rest of the world.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #2: Start and Make conversation by showing interest.</strong></p>
<p>People love to have others show interest in them. When you show interest through conversation questions, people will enjoy talking with you. The great conversationalist who can talk with anyone, simply show interest in others.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #3: Always have Conversation Topics and Questions by reading for a couple minutes a day.</strong></p>
<p>Yes, you read right. Spend a few moments reading the headlines and other news stories. This way you can talk intelligently in conversation. Better yet, go to some of these weird news sites on the Internet.</p>
<p>When the conversation stalls, you can say something like, &quot;Hey, did you hear about&#8230;.&quot; and share and interesting conversation fact. Doing this will start the conversation back up and people will admire your social skills.</p>
<p>Learning the art of conversation and being able to make conversation is one of the most vital skills a person can have. Practice these tips and keep seeking to learn more on how to have great conversation skills.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;Many people want to improve their conversation skills and along with that they want to know how to start a conversation and make friends</p>
<p>. Both of those are not too hard if a person learns how to do it, and once they have this ability they will be able to confidently talk with people, make friends and increase their popularity. Starting conversations basically comes down to approaching the person and using a conversation starter. </p>
<p>Recently, I was at an event. I walked up to someone, a complete stranger, and said &ldquo;hi.&rdquo; That was my conversation starter, and then I asked a question, &ldquo;What are you enjoying about this event?&rdquo; That got the conversation going. </p>
<p>How about making friends? Making friends comes down to two things. First, you need to spend time with people and second, find things that you have in common. I have friends where our friendship is based on politics; others, our friendship is based around sports; and others where our friendship is based on the fact that we can talk about anything &#8211; we have a real close relationship. </p>
<p>So if you want to make friends, you have to spend time with people, but also find things that you have in common. Using these tactics you will quickly be able to start conversations and make friends.</p>

This article is about how to start a conversation with a girl. There are three simple steps that make beginning a conversation easy.</font></font></p>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;">How to Start a Conversation With a Girl</h2>
<p><font size="3">First, you need to approach the girl. Now depending on your shyness level, that may be difficult. Just do it&hellip;very simple. After you approach the girl, you want to start the conversation by saying something. And one of the best words to say when starting a conversation is &ldquo;hi.&rdquo; You could even say, &ldquo;Hi, my name is -,&rdquo; and state your name. Now that you have approached the girl and said hello, you have done the hard part and on your way to a conversation with the girl.</font></p>
<p><font size="3"><br />
Next, you need to ask a question. Well, you might be wondering, &ldquo;What question do I ask?&rdquo; Pretty much anything will do, but here are a couple good ones: If you are at a party, you could ask, &ldquo;How do you know the host?&rdquo; or &ldquo;What do you enjoy about the party?&rdquo; Any of these questions will start the conversation.</font></p>
<p><font size="3"><br />
So to review, if you want to start a conversation with a girl, it&rsquo;s not that hard. Just approach them, say hi, and then ask a question to get the conversation going.</font></p>
