How to talk to anyone.

BE A SOCIAL SUCCESS at every party - try these tipsfrom Leil Lowndes, relationship expert and author of Always in the Kitchen at Parties.
Never give one-word answers. If you're asked what you do, expand on your response so it can start a conversation, for example "I'm a social worker and I work with adopted children.
Leave out "uh-huh." Encourage people to keep on speaking by asking questions about what they're saying.
Choose the right questions. Avoid "where?" or "when?" - they tend to promote one-line answers. Use "why?", "how?" or "tell me more."
Sound "dazzled" even if the conversation is dull. A great conversationalist makes everyone feel appreciated.

Bleh.. Read it. It's good.
