Starting a conversation can be difficult, but keeping one going is more challenging.  After you have done the first part, and that is having the confidence to start a conversation, now you have to prove that you can keep it rolling. The important thing is to use questions to keep a conversation going. After you have opened the talk, it`s not enough , you have to supply your discussion with more questions. But remember, the questions you are asking must be open ended ones, you don`t want a simple response like yes or no. Here are some examples of questions that keep a conversation going: Have you got a favorite perfume that you tend to use? Do you have any hobby? Where do you live? Have you ever traveled? Where?

If you are in a situation where you don`t know what to talk about you can always use some of these great conversation topics: sports, a really nice way to pass the time if you are with a group o guys.

Movies are also a good idea , you can use movie related questions to keep a conversation going.

If you watch your local news on a regular basis you will have a basic knowledge of local, national and international current events and have themes for questions to keep a conversation going. If you are not a news watcher and are heading out to a social event then watch the news on this occasion or check it out online. You can ask questions like ‚have you heard about the last incident in New York?
