I'm a celebrity menswear stylist.

So today I am joined by my fiance, Dorian.

- Hello, hello.

- So the last video we did together,

we talked about seven great conversation starters

and we got pretty much an overwhelming response

from you guys out there to do a video

about how to get out of a conversation.

It's so hard.

- You struggle with this.

- There is an art to ending a conversation

because the goal is to end it gracefully

and you don't want to leave them

with a kind of a bothered feeling.

- I believe it's called a bad taste in your mouth.

- Yes, number one on the list.

So, this is actually, I don't know why

I can never think to do this,

but it actually really works.

It's so great and then it is when

you're having a conversation with that person

and then you're like, hey, it was really great meeting you.

Or it was really great chatting with you.

Done, instant conversation ender

and it's on a pleasant note.

Right?

- Yeah, it definitely, like if you

can feel a lull in the conversation

and you get into like the,

so, and you can see the person kinda looking around,

it's like, okay, time to get out.

As they say with a good joke too,

go out on a high note.

So, you just say, hey, so it was really nice to meet you.

Hopefully, we'll run into each other again

or if you need to connect after that.

But I also use this one as the nuclear option

when someone is just talking to you

and is just like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

and you literally can't get a word in edgewise,

then I literally just like,

hey, so it was really nice to meet you.

Have a great rest of your day.

And then I just bail, 'cause at that point

it's just, it's not gonna go well

and then you're just gonna keep getting

stuck in that conversation

so I'll definitely thrust that one out there, too

and there is no, I've never had a talker

continue on after that point

'cause it's just like boom.

Like, I'm done.

- So this is gonna work in every situation

and will gracefully get you out of that conversation.

You're done.

- Or its a blunt instrument.

- Yeah.

This next point kinda just builds off

of the first conversation ender we talked about.

So, it's when you just say, you know what?

I'm gonna go say hi to the host.

It was really great to meet you.

Or it was really great catching up.

- Yeah, I think the number one point

can always be added to the end

of all the other points after this

because it's just a nice way to end a conversation,

but you gotta find that point to be like, hey,

there's my exit point.

Hey, so I'm gonna go say hello to the host.

I just saw them walk in

or I just saw them.

I haven't seen them this whole party or whatever.

So it was great to meet you.

Take care and then done, you're out.

So it's an excuse to get out of the conversation

as opposed to just like, hey,

it was super nice to meet you

where it's like an indicator like this is clearly over

regardless of what you're going to say next.

So it's a good one.

- The next conversation ender

is I think it can be a little tough to do,

for myself anyway, but it's when you say

oh, so have you met so and so

and you grab a person, like grab a friend.

- So, if I'm trying to mess with someone a little bit,

not the person I'm having a conversation with,

like maybe I just want to get out of that conversation

and I see a buddy of mine walking by

and I know they can handle themselves

in a conversation, I'll be like,

oh my gosh, have you met so and so?

And I'll literally grab my buddy

and just drag him in and he's like

and then I'll introduce them

and I'll be like, so, I'm gonna go grab a drink

or hit the bathroom and then I just leave my buddy

to kinda flounder and then I get a kick

out of literally just standing around

and like watching them like trying

to figure each other out, like why they're introduced.

- That's so weird.

- Bit of a dick move.

- Well, not, I mean to you--

- It can be.

- To your friend, but not necessarily

to the person you're talking with.

- If you see someone who's relevant to the conversation

or something like that or someone you can tell

is just kinda wandering around and they're looking

for a place, it's always a very nice thing

so it can be a nice thing, too,

to grab someone and introduce them to the conversation

and the person you're talking to.

And then it gives you an opportunity

to kinda bow out as well.

- Yeah, no, I totally agree with that

because I know a lot of times

I'll be in a conversation with someone

and then they'll be like, okay,

well, I'm gonna go.

It was great talking with you

and then I'm there by myself and I'm like,

shit, I don't have anyone else to talk to.

So it's nice actually when that person

that you're talking to introduces you

to another person to kinda continue

the flow and all of that good stuff.

So the firth.

(laughing)

So the fourth way of ending a conversation

is by saying, hey, I'm gonna go grab a drink

or I'm gonna go grab some food,

but it was really great chatting with you.

- Yeah, so I like that one a lot.

It's a very easy exit.

You can also throw in, excuse me,

I've gotta use the restroom

and then anytime I've ever done that

or anyone else has ever done that,

you basically won't circle back with that person.

You'll be like, okay, I'm done.

So anyway.

Unless you're super excited to get chatting

with them again.

But yeah, it's a great like, not offensive way

to exit a conversation and it works.

- Before we get into the last

and final conversation ender,

I actually have a question for you.

So, I've definitely been in a situation

where it's a seated dinner

and maybe I don't know everyone around me

and there's the person next to me

that is just chatting my ear off,

but I also want to be able to talk

to the other people around me,

how do you get out of that kind of conversation

because they're literally right there

and just talking to you.

So, I always, like I was just two weeks ago

at a dinner party and this happened to me

and I was trying to think

of ways to get out of it

'cause I'm like, dude, I wanna meet other people, too.

- It's a tough one.

When you're in like, when you have like a captive

audience where you literally can't move,

there's two ways to go about that one.

You can use kind of the earlier point

which is, excuse me for a second,

and when you're at a table,

you don't need to say I need to use the restroom.

You just say excuse me for a second,

then you go and it's kind of implied

you're going to use the restroom.

And at least it gives you a reprieve

and then they can kind of reset

and then they'll probably look

for other people around them to talk to.

So you literally pull yourself

out of the conversation and then

you walk back in and then

I would start talking to the other people around me.

Or, if that's not possible, for whatever reason,

then you say, hey, in the conversation

you're kinda stuck in with this person,

you're like, hey, have you talked to so and so

across the table?

They're like, no I haven't.

Well, let's see what,

it sounds like they're saying something interesting.

Let's hear what, let's get in this one.

And then they'll usually come along with you.

So those are the two ways

that I use when I'm at a dinner party

and I'm kind of, you're literally like

stuck next to that person.

- So, let's get into the last and final point.

You gotta be careful about when you use this,

but it's, you know, you're talking to the person

and then a phantom vibration of the phone happens

and you're like, oh, you know, I gotta get this.

It was really great chatting with you.

And then you excuse yourself and leave.

I've never done that.

- It might be harder for women

because you have a purse.

- Yeah.

- But if you have your phone in your hand

or something like that.

I always have my phone on vibrate

so no one's gonna hear the buzzing anyways.

So I've definitely done it before.

It's a bit of a risky one,

but, you know, I've definitely been like,

oh, I'll do the motion

and I'll pull out my phone and look at it

and be like, I'm really sorry.

I have to take care of something real quick,

but it was nice meeting you.

See how you can always combo it at the end

and it's not like a bad thing,

but I've definitely done that one.

Normally I'll just go with the nuclear option

which is, very nice meeting you.

But if I really am feeling bad about it or something

then I'll take my phone out and feign

that something important has come up.

It works, I'll be honest with you.

- These are five conversation enders

that actually do work.

To see how to get into conversations,

I'll link that video in the description below.

Dorian, thank you so much for being on today's show.

- Glad to help.

I always like to get new ideas

'cause I definitely have,

I have some difficulty getting out of conversations.

Alright, anyways, have a great day, bye.
