Be Sociable at Dinner Time

Friday, April 10, 2009

Dinnertime is one part of the day that the family is together. It should be a time where family shares the events of the day. Some people aren't naturals at dinner conversation. Here are some tips to make it easier.

Ask others how their day went. Be sincere when you ask, listen as they speak, and respond appropriately. Remember that if they had a test that day, ask about it and try to converse in a give and take manner by telling them about your test, and then the conversation will go back and forth. Continue eating, listen to the conversation between other members of your family, and try to enter into it by injecting a thought and a smile and friendly chatter and laughter. Compliment the family member who made 'this delicious dinner', mention that the soup was great. Sharing of the day between each of you, laughing at funny parts, will make the dinner a happy, and sociable time of day. Keep eye contact at all times when speaking to the person.

Learning the art of conversation may take time. Start the conversation about the others at the table, rather than about yourself. If they see you really care about them, they'll be more likely to open up to you.Most people love to talk about themselves and then they will ask about you.Do not plan ahead about what you are going to talk about. If you listen, and ask questions, you will find it easy to 'chat'. You should not have to plan ahead 'what to talk about', just relax, be yourself, and flow with the talk

Don't keep talking or making others talk if you see they're not enjoying the conversation. Try changing the subject, but let it go if that doesn't work.
