Conversapist

Conversapist- The one who doesn't spark a conversation but rather force-fucks it.

A: Hey, what you do last week?
B: Nothing, just went to 24 hr fitness.
(Enters conversation unannounced) C: Ahh, I hate 24 hour fitness. They have completely shunned the traditional American gym system and substituted it with sub-par customer service and mediocre pop music...

A: ... Erhm

B: ... *sigh* Fucking conversapist.

Conversational Probe

when your doctor gets chatty during a prostate exam

Lou had his annual physical, and after fasting he was in a very grumpy mood. when his doctor got to the point of "the finger", Lou felt him fishing around up there like he lost his keys. "so how the kids doing? everybody good? hmm... does that hurt" the doc asked during a very Conversational Probe. Lou thought to himself, "you have your finger in my ass what do u think dude"

conversational decay

Conversational decay refers to the amount of time it takes for a conversation with a stranger to die down to stagnation.

In-person:

Let's say you met someone from your class or work for the first time and start talking about mutual interests, the decay of that conversation wouldn't be as quick. Therefore, it's reasonable to state that the conversational decay would be somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour.

Online:

If you meet someone on Discord for the first time and start a regular conversation with them, it is estimated that it may take between 1 minute to a few weeks for your conversation to completely stagnate with them.

The person Harry matched up with on Bumble seemed pretty promising but, the conversational decay was under 10 minutes.
