Have you ever noticed that the best conversationalists always have lots of stories?
Go through your memories, and come up with 3 stories for each of the following situations. Write them down and memorize them.
- Drinking/partying
- Crazy people
- Girlfriend/boyfriend stories
- Sports or fashion
- Outdoors/hiking
- Games
- Random people you've met
- Places you've gone
In almost every conversation with people who are pretty much strangers, these topics will come up.
When they do, introduce your story at an opportune time. Tell it such that it's interesting. Don't just take 3 sentences. But don't spend 20 min on it either.
If someone interrupts you, don't go back to telling the story unless someone asks.
If a particular story always seems to get a poor response, discard it and try a new one.
