WhatsApp conversations will never be boring again if you start doing these things.

Most of the time you get tired messages of people starting a conversation that clearly shows they have nothing interesting to tell you and the worst-case sometimes it is you on the other side doing it. Phrases like “ Hey there how are you?” or “Hi” are a bad way to start because immediately it shows you are bored and you want somebody to entertain you.

So what can you do? Well, glad you asked. They are three simple ways of starting and maintaining an interesting conversation on WhatsApp or any other social media platform.

A. Use your status like you are talking to somebody specific but still don’t leave the rest of your friends out.

– Status: Most people prefer to watch other people’s statuses without reacting to them because they are trying to avoid starting conversations that are boring or awkward but you can change that.

– Tagging: Always post something by tagging or mentioning some names of your friends or something that they will want to comment about like a meme or your own pictures. People are naturally inclined to respond to something with a personal touch than a generalized message.

– Videos: if you decide to use a video never go above 2 as people’s interests gradually decline after 1. People are always trying to either conserve their money (gigabytes) or their time and your posts shouldn’t waste any of the two.

B.Don’t be afraid to be the one to start a conversation.

We are always waiting for the other party to make the first move to the point no one ever talks to us but you find that groups are more active than our inbox. You are maybe wondering why nobody text you personally. Well, it’s simple why not be the one to start. You can start to engage with others and the action will be reciprocated.

C. Give them something to talk about.

To avoid generic conversations such as “hi there” or “soo, what’s you’ve been up to” use all the three attributes mentioned in A to get their attention and inform them what’s on your mind already so that when they begin a conversation with you, they know exactly what to begin with and the rest will flow naturally.
