Any questions you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable answering, cross off your list and
don't ask. If you are embarrassed your audience probably will be too. Organise the
remaining questions and answers and re-write them. Then leave them at home. The
process of asking and answering the questions should be enough preparation.

Until you fully understand how to make conversation and become comfortable with it
then practicing at home before you go out is ok. It will help you relax and make
conversations easier.

difficult for many people. Few excel at it and the majority just about cope. As with
anything else being confident is all about knowledge and experience.

need more practice. Follow these simple ideas and, over time, you will gain eloquence
and be able to make converstion, you will relax and become comfortable in the
company of others.

Improve Your Communication Skills for Dating
We live in a time in history when communication is simpler than ever before. That is
to say, a time when it is easier to contact and exchange communications with anyone,
anywhere in the world. In spite of this communicative global community created by
the Internet, our ability to effectively communicate with each other is wavering.
Perhaps the following explanation of four levels of communication will help.
Have you ever been to a function in a room full of strangers and found yourself lost
for words? It can be a very lonely experience, especially if you intend to date.
The art of introducing yourself to others and creating small talk may come naturally
for some, but most people confess to feeling shy, embarrassed and don’t know where
to start. Your inner ambitions are crying out for you to relate to others – just as other
people are deeply interested to know you.

The key to knowing where to start is to understand the four levels of communication.
1. Small Talk
When you meet someone for the first time, the safest place to start is to talk about surface issues. For instance, make a
comment about the weather, current events, or the surroundings you are in while you are speaking.
This is called “small talk”, and is used to “size up” the other person, and to determine the comfort zone between the
two of you. There is no need to disclose any personal information with the other person at this stage, as this initial
interaction assists you to determine how “safe” they are on your first meeting.
If you are comfortable engaging each other at a surface level, you can easily slip into the next level of communication:
fact disclosure.
