When I was doing research for my special report on making friendly conversation, I discovered that there's a lot of information available on the topic of making conversation with people.  I have read through a lot of books on making successful conversation, as well as many making conversation tips.

There is information available on how to start a conversation, and a lot of information about how to keep a conversation going.  There are tips to help you improve your small talk, especially when you are making small talk with a stranger.

However, on the important topic of ending a conversation, there isn’t nearly as much helpful information.

This is unfortunate, because a lot of people have a hard time knowing how to end a conversation. If you don’t know when and how to end a conversation, you may easily destroy whatever chance you might have had in turning this person into a potential friend or a potential date.

For example, if you miss your cue that it is time for the conversation to be over, and you keep on talking far too long, you can bet the other person is going to think twice before starting a conversation with you again

On the other hand, there can be a problem with ending conversations too early. If you end your conversation too quickly, you may miss the chance to develop the relationship into something deeper than being mere acquaintances.

So, how long should a friendly conversation be? There are no hard, definite answers that cover every possibility. Once again, you have to pay attention to your partner, listen to their comments and watch their body language. Look for clues to see if they are getting restless or if they seem as if they are enjoying talking to you.

What sort of signs should you watch out for that will tell you that the other person wants to go?  One really clear sign that is often missed is that the other person says, “Well, I've really got to be going now!"

It's amazing how many times I have been with someone and I have said, "I've got to get going now." and yet the other person found something else to talk about that took another ten minutes.

I have to confess that sometimes I have been the guilty party.  Sometimes the other person told me they had to leave soon, and I was the one who kept on talking and didn't let them go!

If you suspect the other person is getting restless and wants to leave but they are too polite to say anything, you can ask them if they need to go. You can tell them you don't want to keep them from doing their other tasks. If they tell you that they don't have to go yet, the two of you can keep on talking for a while longer.

If you're talking with somebody that you'd like to see again, the end of a conversation is a perfect time to tell them how much you have enjoyed talking with them, and that you hope you see them again real soon.

In fact, you can use this time to ask if it would be alright to call them to meet for lunch or for coffee, if you think they would be receptive.

Ending a conversation, if properly handled, can play a big part in getting a relationship to move forward.
