I think an appropriate response that leads to a dialog or conversation.

Seeing the other person's eyes, as they quietly listen to you.  If in a car, then a response of a head nod, or them only responding by "yes".

Okay, I'll fess up.. I spent my career interviewing individuals. Some days were a full day of interviews, non-stop.

 

If they got too dull, I admit I was making my grocery list in my head while making full eye contact.
