Appreciating something

Post Reply New Topic

I was at work when someone was showing me something and I said it was very good etc. and was standing there kind of repeating myself and pretending to still be very interested in it and, unless I was wrong, I could tell she was feeling/thinking like 'okay, you've finished looking at it now' but I couldn't work out what I was supposed to do next. Like, if I walked off, it might look rude or like I wasn't really interested. But I couldn't stand there forever and I had nothing else to say. Also, if you're showing appreciation at something, when do you stop smiling and appreciating it?

Any ideas?

Change the subject to something related? Like, what a nice item you have there. . . admire, admire. . . it came from such and such place? Ah, I have/haven't been or do/don't like to go to that place/kind of place. . . and so forth.

other than that, it comes down to the tricky issue of when to end conversations in general. . .

I'd already done all that and I needed to get on with my work.


Hmm a tricky one. I know of someone who lives a few houses down the road who I'm sure avoids talking to me because he knows that I won't know when to end the conversation lol I kind of hang around going 'erm...' and laughing a bit.
