How are you with small talk?

I'm no good at it any more I think. LOL. I prefer quiet. Crawling back to my den. LOL

Are you good with small talk, can you carry on a conversation without much pain?

How would you do with today's dating? Could you handle it?

I really think, that tossing and turning at night should be considered exercise. Also, I think, that stress and worry should remove calories from your days counting.

I'm an introvert so I don't do very well with small talk. I can't imagine dating in today's online world.

I'm not into small talk in general. I am a sociable person but have found I've become quieter in my older years. I really can't deal with talking about the weather or some nonsense like that, not that I discuss rocket science but a lot of topics have become uninteresting to me. And dating you ask??? Dear God, no way in he**!!!! I am lucky to still have my DH but if I ever became widowed I would be done for sure.........IMO, I have already had the best in life, I would never try to seek another love........it would be way too exhausting, LOL!

Not great in groups! Better one on one. I dread small talk at gatherings.

I'm not good with small talk. I'm awful at it. I tend to be reserved and shy around people I don't know well. It doesn't cause me pain when I have to be social with strangers but I vote off as distant until people get to know me. I'm thankful I married very young and that it's a happy marriage because I would not do well in modern dating. I'm not a one night stand, hook up, casual secks type of person so my dating options would be limited or non existent.

We could be twins! I married young, my high school sweetheart. We've been together since 1970. I can't imagine sharing a bathroom with another man, or having to look good 24/7. The worst would be having to be witty when I just want to eat alone in my room!

Never underestimate the power of kindness.

I'm not fond of small talk but I can rattle on with the best of them. Many times, though, I get home and think, "Why the heck did I say that?!" I tend to analyze it all and be critical of myself. Fun times.

For me, it depends on the person. I Often like talking with store cashiers if they seem friendly. They have to stand there all day & deal with customers. Some of them not so nice. So, I like to bring a smile to their faces for a few moments of the day.

I easily talk to people. I have a knack for striking up conversations with strangers (grocery store, restaurants etc). It's easy for me. And often times I'll take something that I've noticed about a person to initiate a bit of fun banter. Example: someone wearing a sports team shirt or hat "ah I see you're Packers fan. Your must be from up north"

or someone says their name and I'll say "what a pretty/unique/ cool name. How come I got such a boring one! I need a hyphen or an apostrophe to jazz it up". People chuckle. I make it my mission to have at least one fun, brief interaction with someone every day. Ppl need a lift.
