Most people instinctively know when something is wrong. I'm guessing, but I'm almost certainly right, that if you're reading this you've come to the conclusion that your conversational skills could really do with a boost if you're to get more matches.

Of course, conversations are two sided. Sometimes you may even be asked a question yourself! If it's an interesting question then you should have no problem answering it. However, we are not all gifted with the great conversational skills that you are learning and will put into practice. And nerves play a part too. Sometimes people just blurt out those standard and inane questions that they feel obliged/pressured into asking: What's your job? Where do you live? To be honest, they're not that bad a question because you can always segue into another more interesting topic from there. But…

Now we get down to the difference that makes the difference in conversational skills. I want to quote you something I said at the beginning of this book... 'Just read, learn and go and practice just one thing that you know you must improve in your conversation.
