One-Word Answers

Yeah, no, maybe, k, nothing. These are the one-word answers that we all hate to hear. Especially when you are waiting for a reply and when you finally get it, its disappointing. Whether it is through text, over the phone, through email, or in person. These one-word answers tend to make their way into everyday conversations. Although it may seem impossible conversing with some people, there are some ways to avoid these irritating replies. 
1. Always gear the conversation towards them, most people like talking about themselves.
2.  Know the audience you are talking to. That way you know subjects to bring up to keep them interested.
3. Ask intriguing questions about them, which will lead to them giving a long response and possibly the same question back.
