FURRY TIP #3:

When starting a conversation in a message system plan on coming in with a real conversation. Just saying "hi" , "How are you?" or "What are you up to?" lead to a dead end answer such as, "Hello there", "I'm ok" or "Busy with stuff"/"Nothing much". You don't need to much to start the convo., just a sentence or two . It might seem silly to think out what you'll be saying, but it'll pay off in the end because you'll have a meaningful convo.

Here is a example: "Hope your day is going well, I just had a nice jog outside it's really nice. Are you having a good day at all? Hope the weather is nice there too."

With this to start you get things the other person will chime back with in full sentences and not a closed ended answer.


Now, if you are in real life at a convention this will not work the same. When approaching someone start a convo. let the other person have a few words before you start. Also try to fit on topics you find they react upon.


Again this is my Tip, maybe it'll help maybe it woun't. - Syler
