In most of our lives, there are a few people that are able to listen, respond to and understand our problems as well as provide interesting or meaningful conversations. Although these people may not be able to do all these things, there's just something about them that makes you want to talk to them for hours on end, and you're actually able to maintain that conversation. It could vary from anyone really, your family, friends, someone you look up to... but who are you able to maintain a one-on-one conversation with? (In this case, probably somewhere over an hour as the minimum.) You don't need to state who, however stating an approximate amount would be nice (and even still, you could state who!) This could be in real life, or online, it just depends on you.

Off the top of my head... I'd have to say about 4 or so people, although maybe not too often, I'm able to sustain a conversation with them.

Thread idea because of Adam's post. :D;

I can manage one-on-one conversations at a rather...lengthy basis with several people, most of the time when they talk to me it's usually paragraphs on end, but with all but one person they tend to die after a while. The one person I can keep up any conversation with for even an entire day, no matter what we are talking about, is my own pair.

There are approximately 11 people that I've had one-on-one's with within the past few months, out of all of them, there are only about four, possibly five, that I feel I could probably keep a conversation going with. Out of those four/five, there are only two that I actually talk to every day for extended periods of time.

I saw the thread title and thought it was a trick question.

Not many for me, maybe two or three, but that's mainly because for the most part I'm not very talkative in the real world. They're not people I talk to regularly either, at least not recently, but I think we're pretty close in a way that makes it easy to see each other sporadically and still have those long talks that last until late at night.

I can maintain a 1 on 1 conversation with someone I trust a lot. It would be like my family or a really close friend. On the other hand if it was a teacher it would be harder to and much more awkward for me.

Online wise I can maintain a 1 on 1 conversation easily. Definitly not hard for me :)

I'm pretty sure there's about five people I could just spark up a random conversation with one-on-one and keep it going for a good few hours. There are a load of people I've had a lengthy one-on-one with, but those were about dealing with problems and such, so they weren't particularly enjoyable conversations. But yea, I can keep a nice, lengthy, enjoyable conversation going with those five people, I know that.

A few, though they're not long, drawn out conversations. I'm not one for idle chatter. I like to say what needs to be said and little else.

One. My mother.

I'm the type of person who doesn't usually say things without a purpose. I always have something important I need to relay to the receiving party, and if not, I'm merely trying to be friendly. I don't usually say things that are not relevant, unless of course, I'm being friendly.

That's why, I can barely hold a conversation unless the other party tries to maintain the conversation.

I can keep up lengthy conversations a lot with a fair few people.

Ranging from my course, work, assignments, programming, ranting, so on so on so on :D

I am never short of conversation with my friends. ^__________^

There are only three people I can actually maintain a one-on-one conversation with for more than 10 minutes, excluding my family.

I'm socially inept, so I can't really keep a conversation going.

I can have those types of conversations with a couple of people, but the one that comes to mind the most is definitely Hiiro (sorry if I misspell your name D:).

We've been in a conversation since he made his current account and it isn't getting close to stopping, either.

Asian Pride is also up there.

4 people, 3 IRL, 1 online.

IRL
1. My mother. She is my best friend, and she always will be. We can talk for hours, about almost everything.
2. WhiteTux (that is his PC username). We have been friends since we were both 3 years old, and I hope our friendship lasts forever.
3. My old girlfriend (whom was also the only girlfriend I had). We would talk from the day we left school until 1 in the morning. It was crazy while it lasted.

Online
1. My one and only pair, Samme!. We relate so much, and our friendship online has turned into something amazing.

I am, or I will be able to maintain a one-on-one long lasting conversations with anybody if they are nice, friendly, and cares about me.
Additionally, if there exists platonic love in the situation, and I trust them as much as I can possibly trust, then I can keep up conversation forever.
Depends on the subject of conversation though...

But my point of view is what I think it should be like. I believe that I as an individual possess the will to listen, respond, and understand as long as I like that someone and they like me back too.

Unless I'm busy or they're too busy, I can usually hold a one-on-one conversation with most of my friends. Sometimes I can tell that they don't want to be bothered, but I'm usually annoying anyway, so I continue it. Don't really care if they're trying to ignore me, but I do often say "Don't you dare ignore me!" and they reply.

Right, Arian?

Uuumm.. pretty much everyone I know, at least out of my main circle of friends, online and offline. xD

There are some acquaintances that I know through friends of mine, and I haven't ever been alone with them to start up much of a convo. >w> But yeah, most of my actual friends.. I can talk one-on-one with them for hours if given the time. My family always asks me what the heck we have to talk about, to drag it out so long.

Ahaha. 2 people. My mother and my sister. I usually just rant on things about things that they don't really care like anime, what's the hottest thing on japan, and a TV show.

It takes on for about 2 hours until one of them to shout for me to stop. Seems to happen a lot when I'm bored or their together. lol.

I hate to admit it, but it depends on how much I like the people and how close I am to them. XD; I can carry on a good conversation with maybe 3-4 people (if that) if they're people I like to talk to and talk to often. But add any more to the mix and I end up partially ignoring everyone to try and spread my attention. It's even worse if I'm doing anything alongside being on MSN.

But if I'm just talking to a bunch of people I don't know all that well, I can actually handle maybe 6+ conversations. @[email protected];; Just not... every time I sign on because it gets tiring.
