How to make smalltalk?
eventhough: It seems to me like you are using a "situational opener" which basically means you open the conversation with something nearby or something you notice. (weather, clothing, event, etc.)Generally speaking these openers are not very good because after you talk about the situation the conversation is dead. After you ask her when the next bus comes along what could you possibly follow-up with? How many people do you think will be on the bus? Do you think it will be a bumpy ride?So your goal is to move as quickly as possible from the situational opener into something deeper and more interesting. Find out something about where she is going and try to build off of that into a much more substantial topic.It's best if you talk about things that are fun such as relationships or social problems. Always avoid the following topics though:religion
politics
abortion
affirmative actionThese topics will destroy you.Good luck. And once again, try to transition away from the situational opener as soon as possible!
