Week 2, day 2
Got a convo today! I went to amsterdam to a concert with two friends. On the way back we sat down in the train, I was sitting opposite to a girl, my friends were on the other side of the aisle.
I heard some guy's discman play jimi hendrix so I said 'That's jimi hendrix, you hear that?'. She picked up on it, said she liked that music. Then we talked about were we came from, where we went, music, bands etc. Convo lasted about 20 minutes, with some silences in between.
During the convo I also used techniques from the BC articles, like paraphrasing, delayed follow up questioning, I think it helped to get a more detailed and longer convo.
Jango, what a *****! It's tricky to put someone on their place, you have to show that what they're saying doesn't phase you at all, by turning it around and deflecting it right back at them. I wouldn't know what to say in your situation. When I'm going out to the club or somewhere and people don't like it or say it's boring or putting me off I just say, 'Lucky for you that you don't have to come along with me, huh?' Then they'll shut up.
Total number of convo's: 1
