Who does not like stories? I am not talking only
about children, but also for adults. Whether you are watching
television or reading a book, anything in form of story holds the
attention. We all love to hear stories. The art of story telling has to
be learnt. Not everyone can tell a story in an interesting way. How is
dating and story telling connected? Let me tell you.
During
dates, especially during the first date with a person, it sometimes
becomes difficult to converse. We cannot think of any good topic that
can be discussed. We are advised that we should avoid talking about
religion and politics. We are told that we should not ask many intimate
questions. We are told that we should avoid talking about our finances
and our past relationships. We are told to avoid so many tings by
different experts that some of us do not understand what they should
talk about with their date.
The answer is - tell stories. Look
back at your life and think of instances that were funny and exciting.
They brought you much fun and excitement, isn't it? Talk of those
instances in form of stories. Think of instances- anything that
happened in your office or your neighborhood, something that happened
when you were holidaying. Any incident that was funny and exciting can
be turned into a story. A story always holds the attention. Even now
when you are an adult, a good story will hold your attention. Stories
have an attraction for the human mind. Use stories during your date.
Once
you develop the art of story telling, you will not find it difficult at
all to hold attention of your date at all times. You will not feel
embarrassed with the silence. Read newspapers and find out how they
tell stories. Study the method of beginning of the story, the building
up of the story and the ending. Read few stories as a student. You will
learn many ideas about how to tell a story in a gripping manner during
a date.
