Conversation.
Dictionary Definition: A means of communication between two or more people (informal). (There are other meanings too. But they really aren't required here!)
My Definition: If the other person's a book, Conversations are the eyes.

You can strike up a conversation on any topic. Obviously, there's an array of topics you certainly must avoid if it's you're talking to a person for the person for the first time. I mean, imagine you're on your first date. You obviously don't want to tell her about how you have a nasty habit of scratching yourself in public.

And you know, that really is the key to having a good, quality conversation! You just have to take note of the interests of the person you're talking to. Of course, sparking an interest in the person about your passion is one thing. But imposing yourself and continuously ranting? No way!

But then, interests really aren't stamped across a persons forehead! So you can't make conversation when you're meeting them for the first time, can you? Wrong. You can. There's this little game i invented and predictably gave it a predictable name. Questions! All you have to do is ask around polite questions (duh!) and therefore, you can get to know the person better. Then, something will just spark right up, and there you go! You're talking!

If you're a war veteran, talking to a supermodel at a party, she really won't be interested in how bombs back in the world war II used to function. And certainly, neither would you be interested in which is the best brand for lip gloss. But what both of you might be interested in, is how Jeffrey Archer writes the best of books and rom-coms are possible the best genre of movies that ever was. All you have to do, is just a little bit of poking around, and you would find something to talk about.

Conversation is extremely similar to poetry. It just flows, and can't have a break to it. :) And if you have the woes, share them! Conversation helps! But remember the toothy smile! Cuz I can assure you, nobody has the interests of talking to someone with a frown! So keep it plastered over there! :D

Love,
Dead Poet.

P.S - I said everything about you taking note of the interests of the people you're talking to. What about them taking note of your interests? Well, that's what compatibility is darling!
