How do I keep a conversation going when people ask, "How's it going?"
Say, “Pretty well. How about with you?” And then, a question like this: “Done anything interesting lately?” “How’s work?” “Did you see the game yesterday?” “Are you still dating Alice?” “How’s little Martha doing with the piano?” And when they answer, show interest and either ask another question or say something about yourself you think they’d find interesting: “I’m fine now, but I was out sick three days last week.” “I made a big sale yesterday.”
Why do people put a question mark at the end when it's a statement?
All questions posted here on Y!A are supposed to by just that: questions. The question mark is automatic. If you supply one, it deletes yours. It is against Y!A Guidelines to post a question that isn't a question. This is an information exchange site -- not a chat room or social contact site or discussion forum. Questions here must be seeking knowledge or advice of general interest to the community. Answers must attempt to answer the question. This is also a user-moderated site. All users should be responsible to report any violations they see. Please have a look at the Community Guidelines. They are found under the ABOUT tab at the top of the page and are short; they only take a real minute to read. Once you have perused them, please do report any violations you see. Click on the Report Abuse button under the question and you'll see what to do next. Reporting is totally anonymous. It is wise to take the Community Guidelines quiz, too. http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_... Not only can it get you 20 extra points, but it also lets you know you really do understand the rules here well enough to know what should and shouldn't be reported. If you simply report what you don't like, you can lose your reliability rating for reporting -- many of the things you may not like may not be true violations. The Yahoo computer will no longer listen to reports from you. To keep your voice, report correctly. To do that, read and follow the Guidelines.
How do you ask a guy if he is ignoring you without sounding overbearing?
If you're worried about him ignoring you, then just wait until he texts you. If you don't text him, and he doesn't bother to say hello or what's up or something, then he's probably just not interested. :/ sorry, those things happen, ya know?
Why do people say "Sure!" instead of “Yes!” during a conversation and don’t you think it’s somewhat rude?
Do you think the person saying “sure” is trying to be rude, or just using it as a synonym for “yes” or “okay”? If you don’t perceive any intent on their part to be rude or sarcastic, then I’d suggest avoiding taking offense at mere speech patterns. As you get older, you’ll find that nobody has time for overly sensitive people, and some might just find it easier to say neither “yes” nor “sure” and instead avoid talking to you altogether.
How do you ask a girl to hang out when she barely knows you? If I ask her to hang out, she will think I’m a creep. How do I ask her to hang out without seeming like a stalker?
The exact same thing happened to me, except I’m trying to ask a guy out. It happened a couple weeks ago, and I had a crush on this popular guy, the same one from here:Kimberly Hung's answer to What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you in front of your crush?So anyways, I later found out that one of my friends have a crush on him too, and we would talk about him together a lot. Even though I really liked him, I didn’t really want to tell him that I liked him yet, because he didn’t really know me and I didn’t really know him. My friend, who didn’t want to ask him out yet either, was constantly egging me to ask him out because according to her, I had a better chance at getting his attention.One unfortunate day, my friend decided that she will ask him out for me, because she thought I was too scared to ask him out instead of waiting and know him better, which is what I actually wanted. She, my other friend, and my crush had PE together, so she decided that she’ll be a great friend and ask him out for me. The conversation went sort of like this:Friend: Hey Liam!Crush: Hi…?Friend: Kimberly likes you, did you know that? She thinks you have hot eyebrows! She really wants to date you!Other Friend: Umm, I don’t think the eyebrow thing was necessary…Crush: (frowns) H*ll no, B**** , there’s no f***ing way I’m dating her. I don’t even f***ing know her! (mutters)Isn’t she new or something? ( lists off all the swear words)Other Friend: Oh, umm, it was a dare. Bye!( drags friend away)Later, he confronted to one of my guy friends(also his friend) about the incident…Crush: Yo, is Kimberly that Asian girl with the glasses?Guy Friend: Yeah, I guess…Crush: She’s a creep. I barely know her and she’s already trying to ask me out!So back to your question, you should wait and get to know her better. Don’t flirt with her. Just be her friend when she needs it, and please don’t talk to her more then 2 times a week until you know her better and both you and her consider each other as a friend . It’s really annoying when someone who likes you keeps talking to you to get your attention. Believe me, that trick doesn’t work. I hope I helped & good luck & don’t do anything stupid like I did!
