Any advice on how to keep the conversation engaging?

Sometimes when i speak to someone the conversation “de-escalates” until we both don’t know what to say. I mean, we could continue talking, asking questions etc. but there wouldn’t be the spark anymore.

So how do you avoid this? How do you keep it engaging? I’m talking about that kind of convo in which you do want to speak your mind and viceversa, not just say something for the sake of it.

Thanks in advance 🙂
