The many uses of face-to-face communication.

If you want conversation, we can talk.
If you want a sympathetic ear, let's get in the car, I'll drive, then we can talk.
If you want an opinion, be open-minded about whatever I'm going to say, and we can talk.
If you want me to know you, tell me about yourself as we talk.
If you want to know me, listen and observe as I talk.
If you want me to know what you're feeling, the direct approach works best as we talk.
If you want to know what I'm feeling, ply me with alcohol, and be prepared for long pauses as I struggle to get over my natural reticence about letting others know exactly how I think and what I think about...and just let me talk.
