#4 Pay Attention

How would you like it if somebody just pretended to listen to you and wasn't really paying attention? So in any conversation, don't just throw out cheap replies that obviously show that you're not really interested in what the other person is saying. Don't let any details escape. Especially if you're really serious about the person you're chatting or conversing with, then listen to them well. Details make for good conversation, and you can always pick up a thing or to about the person you're talking to when you listen well.
