What is Right?

Is there any specific right way to chat?

Besides family, close friends, colleagues or someone you've been chatting with for years...........what is the norm that conform to the right way? What is a right way anyway? Talking to a stranger is hard enough other than mere facts that you could read from their profile, if any. No research has shown that a man is a better chatter than the next woman or vice versa. And other than few taboo subjects that are sure to rile some chatters, we would normally rationalize with common sense knolwedge.

There are lots of chatters out there who are merely bored and just wants to chat, nothing more. There are some who's looking for something and there are some who's online for a specific agenda. Other than sticking to conversations on the weather, food and other lame stuff, what are the barriers that we're supposed to follow? In short, there is no definite guidelines for chatters. To top it off, humans comes with all kinds of characteristics; sensitivie, direct, open, old-fashioned, etc....

Is trial and error still in fashion? I suppose that's one good way to ascertain certain individuals. Perhaps, another is to bite the bait when the other person throws you a topic and go on from there. Daringly you could become the arse-hole, throw caution to the wind and be damned if the other person likes talking to u or not and proceed with your agenda.

Nothing beats chatting with someone who's funny and able to carry a discussion that you're passionate about too. But what are the odds of that? More times than not, you'd come across someone who's not even able to hold a decent conversation to begin with and you cannot bring yourself to be rude or polite (however u see it) to cut it off short. Giving the benefit of the doubt, you keep on hoping for something more/better.

Having said all that, I'm not even sure I am such a 'hot chatter' myself or a boring candidate !!!
