11 THINGS TO TALK ABOUT THAT WILL KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING
Once in a while we all come across situations where you are talking to someone and the conversation dies down, then you are both sitting there looking at each others face, as you try to think of a something to talk about.
Hopefully, some of what we will be discussing today will help you communicate better,becoming the life of the party, keeping the conversation flowing and killing that awkward silence between you and your crush.
NOTE :
ALWAYS OBSERVE THE PERSON YOU ARE SPEAKING TO BEFORE KICKING UP A DISCUSSION , PEOPLE ARE UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAY AND EACH HAS A TURN OFF AND ON.
SO STRAIGHT TO THE MATTER
The persons Work/Job

This classical method is also quite effective especially If the person strikes you as being curious and free spirited.You could ask questions about the environment where the person lives but in order to avoid embarrassing the person, don't expand the questions too far.
If you are at a show or conference for instance you might ask if they’ve seen the performer or speaker before.
You could ask if the person heard about a serious robbery or accident that occured near that area recently .
If you are at a restaurant, talk about the management there, their attitude and service compared to others within the vicinity and you could digress it to the person's favourite meal.
If there is music playing, talk about the type of music that is trending and the persons view on it.
Clothes (This has been found to be applicable to both sexes)

.
This works best if you could comment about what they are wearing.
Maybe try complementing their clothing , what you like about it, why! and also enquire where they got it from.

KEEP THIS GOING AND BEFORE YOU KNOW, YOU COULD CHIP IN A FEW SENSITIVE TOPICS SUCH AS THEIR "EX" JUST TO KNOW THEM MORE.
AS ALWAYS THIS IS YOUR GIRL @LIZBETHK
I found this very interesting to read. Truth is people may know all of these fillers and still be awkward in their delivery and responses. I think it's a big deal to be really truly interested in the person you are with and ask only questions you really want answers to. The flip side to someone reading this and trying it out later is that they might be uninterested in the answers and would definitely forget which could lead to a further depreciation in the friendship with the other party thinking they are uncaring and absent minded.

A important thing to note is genuine interest, people can sense it when you genuinely want to know about them.
So folks! Pick from the variety of topics and keep the conversation going but remember, show some care and genuine interest
