Book On Small Talk Novels & Stories

She was such a beautiful woman, how come she had never been in a relationship. "Ah, I see. Sorry, it's just, I'm awful at making small talks" Damian admitted. It was a curse of a genius. When people are too intelligent, logically, they would find it difficult to make small talks with other people, things like "how are you?" or "what did you do last night?" don't really spark their interest. "Don't worry, I also hate small talks" she smiled as she steeped her fingers together. Just then the waiter came back and poured the wine for them, she thanked him and took a sip of her own wine.

“But this book here, says that having supposed chance mates opening up to each other in any way possible could help them understand the whole bond thing better. You know, see if any sparks of any sort fly around. You won’t be the only one sharing. I’ll share too and if that’s a topic that’s too hard for you, we can always discuss something else or use another method the book suggests. What do you say?” With her hands still folded across her chest, Samiya took a few steps forward and finally sat on the bed, right beside me. “Fine. I’ll do it. Only if you go first.”

The way she said my name—soft, uncertain—I could listen to her say it all day. Celia returned with the water that we both requested, and as she turned around and headed back, Iris cleared her throat. “So, do you come here often for work?” A laugh escaped me before I could stop it. “Iris, if small talk isn’t your thing, that’s fine. No need to torture yourself over it.” Iris let out a small huff, shifting in her seat. “I don’t mind small talk,” she muttered, her fingers drumming against her thigh. “I just don’t like talking to people who act like they know more about me than I do about them.”

It was relaxed coz I feel okay. Me: Glad you feel okay ☺ ☺ ☺ I could feel that she was not interested in continuing this conversation and that she switched to small talk instead ,but I couldn’t do this right now. Small talk between us feels so wrong and forced because we only do it to change the topic or avoid an uncomfortable topic. Which was exactly what was happening right now. Precious: Are you okay Me: Yea why? Precious: You never send me these ☺ as smileys..and you said whatever up there and are saying you don’t know why I miss you coz you are not a good person to miss.. what does that even mean?

Gina said with her mouth full. Selena looked at her with a confused face. "Have you been reading more of those books?" She was referring to the books on Gina's desk that had weird titles like "How to properly unlock the door without the key." , "Speak like a smarty pants!" , "Who are you? I am the ugly world?" , "Books for people who are cops." And other titles. Selena didn't even want to think of how silly the contents were. Who on earth even wrote those books and where did Gina even get them?

They were all adjusted alphabetically. He then randomly picked a book. ‘If I had your Face – By Frances Cha’ He read the title. He opened the book. On the first page, there was her name and a date written. The date when she either got the book or started reading it. He flipped through the pages. She had underlined some context. Marked notes somewhere. Scribbled replies to some lines. He laughed to himself. There was this line she had highlighted, “In New York, you can talk to anyone about anything at any time and have a conversation so long you'll fall a little in love with that person, and then never see them again.”

Both were really awkward at each other at first but when they found out that both were reading the same book, they eventually got a comfortable to talk at each other. “So, you also read that book-” “Yeah, I got into it after a friend of mine recommended it to me.” “Isn’t it a great book.” “Yeah, I got hooked on it after reading the first chapter.” “bla-bla-bla” Both continued to talked to each other and enjoyed their conversation. “I was feeling an awkward atmosphere growing between our table so I was gonna try to start a conversation but when you brought out your book, I was just surprised to see a person reading it.” The girl said.

he explained in a well-mannered tone, no sarcasm at all. I just nodded in response because I don't know what to say. This is awkward as fuck, I am not used to us being so casual, having a random conversation. Wasn't I supposed to annoy him? Yet, since that night, we haven't had much interaction. It was like something big has changed between us. . . Is this a good start though? Or he is just messing me around again? "I'm pretty good with books, I'll help you." He even raised his left hand holding the book he got earlier. A pretty thick book with a title, 'The Choice' by Nicholas Sparks.

“I tried small talk a little while ago, Larry. If you want to make more friends and clear your reputation around town, you need to start caring for small talk.” She has a point but I don’t think I am ready for that. I say, “I will let you know when I am ready though.”

It was as if he was inviting me to see this place through his eyes, to appreciate its nuances and charm as he did. The small talk, though seemingly innocuous, held within it a subtle power—a bridge that connected us, a conduit for understanding and connection. The feeling of being engaged in conversation was a reminder that communication is not merely a transaction of words, but a gateway to shared experiences, a means of forging bonds and traversing the territory of human connection.
