Being An Open Communicator With A Quiet Man
You try to give him openings, but lose patience
You prod him a bit. You throw him a soft ball, ask him a question you know will engage him, and try to bring him into the conversation. But you can see that he can’t keep up with the previous pace of conversation, and you can see how it’s creating a lull in the energy. Everyone was engaged in quick and lively conversation until now, when your quiet partner is taking a while to respond to a question.
