couple, us we him her.

I don't mean can I call you.

I mean are you the sort of person who is happy to talk about nothing and everything for age's

Or

Like me a phone conversation is usually over in a minute or two with very little in the way of conversation?

Depends who I'm talking to

Some people are just easy to have a long conversation with. Others not.

I much prefer to talk on the phone. Messages can’t always be interpreted in the correct tone.

In general , I stay away from it. Just because it leads to getting to know someone and blah blah blah.

But, I could talk for hours. If I wanted to.

I hate chatting on the phone - i have a weekly call with my mum - the rest of the time it is on silent and avoid it like the plague

My phone is always on silent. I only pick up to the mother or she’d turn up to check on me.

The only person I really call is my best mate in France.

So no, not a chatter.

Minute or two at a stretch. Although I was on the phone to hmrc last week for over an hour. It was traumatic

There's only a handful of people I'll chat to on the phone, immediate family and a couple of friends. I will never ring anyone, just for a chat.

And definitely not a facetime/video caller.

I'm not a big fan of chatting on the phone about anything and everything. Most calls are very short. In person, I'll happily waffle on.

I think it all depends on the person OP. If it’s not your thing it’s not your thing

Depends who you are chatting to, you wouldn’t have long conversation with someone you see every day or every week. Long conversations are usually for friends and family you don’t see often.

I actually prefer to chat on the phone.

It's difficult to put intonation into a text style chat.

Sure, you can use imojis etc, but something gets lost in translation.

And unusually, for a bloke, I can chat mindless gabble for ages as long as I've got a mug of tea with me...

And let's face it, you can say more in 30seconds with a phone call than you can typing a text message out over an hour.

And you don't have to put up with bloody contradictive text on a phone call....

When I telephone someone, it’s for a specific reason. I get to the point and conclude the conversation.

When others telephone me and they start to waffle, I conclude the conversation for them.

Absolutely not. You can't fill awkward silences on the phone in the same way you can in person and I used to have quite a bad stutter when I was a child which comes out again if I try to fill gaps in a phone conversation

It can depend on who I'm talking to but an hour can pass in no time at all without knowing what was spoken about with some people

Honestly? The only times I am on the phone, are with some sort of hotlines. I never talk to anyone.

Not because of me though, but we live in a day and age, where the latest generation of adults is literally afraid of phones and just want to do everything over text.

Sometimes. That doesn't help but it entirely depends on the person and how well I know them. And how much nonsense I have to share.

See, the real art of being a good conversationalist is not how much you talk yourself, but how much you can make the other person talk. Just food for thought.

You DO make it sound like you blame others when the conversation is not going well, as if it's their fault for not saying enough

I hate it. I've only ever been able to chat away to a handful of people easily on the phone and they are my nearest and dearest. I find with others I get too stressed not being able to read body language etc. Conversation flows much easier when I'm face to face with someone.

Yeah, I do blame her. If her conversations die down, it's because she wasn't a good enough conversationalist to keep or get them going. Simple truth.

What about the other person. Surely they bear some responsibility too?

No? Of course some people are better at conversations than others, but if you're really good at it, then you get engaging, interesting conversations with people, that normally don't say very much.

It's a skill. If you're good at it, you can have great conversations with anyone, and not just with people who naturally answer well.

As I said earlier: A great conversationalist doesn't talk very much, but gets others to talk very much.
