So, tell me about yourself
Did you know that this phrase is the best way to get someone to like you? It says heaps about you to the other person without having to express it in other ways.
- You want to know more about the person
- You are interested in who they are as a person
- You prefer to know about them rather than talk about yourself
- You have the capacity to listen
How do you start up a conversation with someone you don’t know? Is it awkward and clumsy? You don’t have to impress someone with who you are or what you do, what’s important to the other person is how much you are interested in them.
So the next time you meet someone, open your arms, and say, “So, tell me about yourself,” and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the response. Why open the arms? It exposes your heart and to many people that’s body language saying that you physically and emotionally trust them.
Just start to talk about yourself and the conversation starts.
Interesting dating tip. I’ve been a good listener to women before but the hell of it is that they consider me more as a friend rather than a potential date. Or maybe I missed the body language..
I have never been great at making small talk with people I don’t know well, so I’ve always tried to ask the questions that get them talking. Your post makes me feel like I was wise to do this instead of ducking out on having to make small talk.
That’s pretty sound advice. Body language is just as important as voiced language when dealing with a female.
When broken down into manageable pieces, the question, So, tell me about yourself? isn’t overwhelming. In fact, answering the question effectively gives you the opportunity to talk about your strengths, achievements, and qualifications for the position. So take this golden opportunity and run with it!
Yes this exists and if you know this art than believe me you are the master of one of the most important art of human being and you should know where to apply this one.
Whenever someone asked me … tell me something about your self … than I become dumb and I do not know what to reply and how to reply.
At that moment I think that I should have the answer of this question or I will keep ready the answer of this question … if someone will ask me in near future.
Great advice. I do think also that a good conversation is a key to impress someone you dont know, looks is just an additional.
I think the best way to talk to someone is to be yourself and being truthful.
Hey there. It’s a great way to start a friendship as well. It’s an engaging question that almost everyone will gladly answer to start a friendship. Later.
only god written post good luck thanks
yes right that im
nice post…thanks for sharing
Seems like some very sound advice , body language always plays a big part of being attracted and if you can mix the right conversation to go along with it , should make for a positive result.
Number 4 is HUGE. Shut the heck up and LISTEN!
Not being fabulously wealthy or good looking I didn’t get anywhere with women until I learned to stop talking.
Practice active listening. Ask questions that build from what she is sharing. Embrace silence and a little mystery. It is better to say too little rather than not enough during the get-to-know you.
Most guys are way too into their story and themselves. When you shut that down, you will immediately pique her interest in you.
These skills go far beyond dating too.
If you have confident than such things will tell in your body language. So you should always careful about those things.
You have provided some cool reading to us and we are thankful for such things to you.
Good advice. Body is very important as well as conversation. Gesticulation is an integral part of my speech, when I want others to pay attention to what I talk about.
I admit that I am not that good in starting small talks. I’d rather listen but when they ask me about myself of course I can even share more about myself, the fact that no one knows me the way I know myself.
So, tell me about yourself? I think it is great start to have small talks specifically with guys who hates boredom.
Believe it or not this will be very tough when someone will ask you tell us more about you. And you will start think … how to start and what to tell and you become dumb.
So prepare yourself … first.
It also helps to analyze the overall personality of another person because the person tries to speak all about him/herself to impress.
Being a good and patient listener helps you to know other person but also to see the world through the eyes of others, thereby opening your understanding and enhancing your capacity for empathy.
Yes I do agree with this post.
I think talking about yourself and listening to others do the same make for a perfect conversation. Besides, the general discussion leads to more specific topics, so you never find yourselves in dull and awkward silence.
This is an interesting tip in meeting new people. It gives you an impression that you are willing to know that person more and thus, you are a friendly person.
Conversation plays a vital role between the persons.
It will helps to build the relation
Talking about each other is overrated and tedious. I prefer to talk about dinosaurs, kick boxing, and moon shoes.
Sound advice. You should make sure your body language is always open when dealing with someone you care for, and that your eye contact is warm and accepting, not shifting around the room. What you don’t say is as important as what you do.
I think eyes and look play an important role in starting a conversation. As for me, I do it unconsciously when I see a lady and her eyes.
Body language is an important part of communication which can constitute 50% or more of what we are communicating. If you wish to communicate well, then it makes sense to understand how you can (and cannot) use your body to say what you mean.
Thanks gor thi inf. good inf. tubay ben yon..
first, we should open to each other. Start tell about our self and then conversation will continue..i guarantee it..
Too true – I would have to agree with you on this one – it really does not offer a great deal of “value” that is for sure.
some of this things dont need brain science, just the simple basics!
Conversation is a very intime thing. It doesn’t look like another. Every dialog is unrepeatable. So enjoy the life. Enjoy the society.
One of the hardest social situations to face is starting a conversation with someone you know very little about. Nice tip, body language says it all. Then learn to be a good listener. listening is more important than actually speaking. You will learn more! Practice being a good attentive listener and people will say you are a brilliant conversationalist.
I think this is good advice, however, I wouldn’t perhaps use it as an opening line to a conversation. It is much better to talk about something light hearted first of all, to relax the person. If they’re not used to opening up to strangers it may be daunting to respond to ’so, tell me about yourself’ at first.
Thank you for your great ideas and advice. I will be sure to take them on board and hope for the best.
haha, what a down to earth and simple tips. Really appreciate it
Nice tip …. next time I’m going to try the phrase So, tell me about yourself !
