Conversational Life Support

When only one person is attempting to keep a conversation alive. Almost the equivalent of a having a conversation with yourself.

A one-sided conversation.

Typically occurs online.
Jake messages girl on myspace/facebook/random dating website:

Jake: Hi, what's your name?
Girl: Jamie
Jake: So where do you work?
Girl: McDonald's
Jake: What do you plan to be when you grow up?
Girl: Dancer
Jake: What kind of dancer?
Girl: Ballet, i g2g

** Note that the girl only gives one word responses and offers no questions in return. This is a perfect example of Conversational Life Support. Of course, in the end the conversation died rather abruptly, despite Jake's attempts to keep it alive.
