Rules for Conversation at Parties

  • 14 November 2011
• After introducing yourself to the host, scan the room and zero in on the most animated group of 3-to-5 people.
• Reintroduce yourself to those who may have forgotten you but not by saying, “Remember me?”
• Don’t remain in one place. Mingle.
• Don’t try too hard to impress others by talking too much.
• Don’t discuss taboo topics such as politics, religion, illnesses, or personal problems.
• Don’t argue over minor details … even if you’re certain you’re right.
• Whatever you do, don’t abruptly end a conversation with a negative comment or a moment of silence.
