A conversation is somewhat like chess, and you’ll know how to respond based on the person’s gesture or what he/she says. By knowing how to respond properly, the game can go smoothly, and it won’t end quickly because you made a bad move, or in this case, you said something wrong. How you respond to when someone asks what are you doing will influence the flow of the conversation. If you respond positively in a conversation, it will likely will continue. However, if your response is negative or not pleasing, it will likely fall flat or end. Now, you don’t want that to happen, especially in the case that your crush asks about what you’re doing.
