Communications' Quiz
Know your Communications Style
By Kristi Hemphill

We've all had times with our ex, our love, or even very good friends where conversation dragged. We went away feeling drained or frustrated.

Fortunately, we have also had time with our close friends or partners when conversation was very satisfying. The time flew by as we talked.

We have met people that we could not converse with at all, while meeting others where conversation "clicked. They were easy to talk to.

Why?

Singles who understand their communications styles have a better chance of making a relationship work.
