Which is better?a face-to-face conversation or a phone call??
Depends on the issue being discussed.





If it's really serious, I like to talk face to face. Little nuances can be mistaken and eye contact is key.





For lighter subjects I prefer the phone..no need to see the person face to face to talk about the weather or who's getting the kids after school.
Reply:Phone to phone coversation is better before doing face to face conversation. The biggest advantage of phone talking is that you dont feel any hesitation what you feel lively while seeing a person's face.





First start talking with phone, you can come to know likes and dislikes of the person you are talking with, then you will easily carry on face to face talk.
Reply:Well it all depends on the person who you are speaking with and also the topic of conversation if you are gonna **** something up than do it face to face!

I work in business. For business transactions such as activations and billing disputes and anything requiring legal lodging of information or an attachment email is great. People also like written communication as it shows you have taken time to order your thinking and not to disturb them. However email is limited and sometimes phone calls are a better way to reach agreement, it is always good to ask the person you are calling whether they can chat at the moment. Face to face communication is the most interruptive and demands intimacty you are best to have an invitation or a very good short presentation.For the personal relationships telephone is the best, then face to face and writing is last.
Reply:It depends on the topic of discussion. If you are going to break up with someone, then be respectful and do it in person. If you are just wanting to say hello or talk about nothing in particular, the phone is fine.

We can debate this question many times over. So lets divide the question and then make decisions.





For business: a telephone conversation is appropriate unless you need to negotiate a contract. The face to face does give you the advantage of "reading" the other party's facial expressions. Similar to playing poker.





For casual aquaintances or friends. A phone call will do but it is alot more fun in person. It is alot easier to flirt in person than over the phone, not impossible but easier.





For a very personal relationship; skip the phone, it is all in the eyes and the lips and the bod..... unless you are long distances apart, then use the phone as much as financially possible.





If you are going "green" environmentally, then use the phone. It does save fossil fuel and pollution. But you could practice walking, biking or skating to your social group hangout.





If you are in love....well there is nothing like being there in person. But there is also the element of sexy flirtatous dating on the phone too.





Can you have it all? Yep, That is why they made camera phones!





Pardon me.... I have to take this call. tctrout55
Reply:depends on all the circumstances in volved. if its a friend and you feel comfortable with them, then face to face. if its an enemy and you fear them, phone call.
Reply:a phone call... less chance of getting smacked lol
Reply:Might as well be a phone call because young people today are to busy looking at their text screen to look you in the face and have a conversation that lasts more than two minutes.





Just watch, if someone that texts a lot and they can't look down at their phone when it vibrates or beeps (which on average is every two minutes) or doesn't beep they get real itchy.
Reply:a face to face conversation is better
Reply:I think it depends on the situation. If you know the person might snap phone call. If you are breaking some ones heart (breaking up, a death) then in person. They will need you to be there for them. I guess if you are breaking up with a person and it gets loud you still need to do it in person. You cared enough to want to be with them and they deserve that much respect from you.
Reply:face to face. You get to see their facial expressions and the eyes never lie!!
Reply:ALWAYS! face - to- Face!!!!


Over a phone line or over the computer, words can be mis-interputed.





Good Luck

Reply:sometimes, it is difficult to say things face to face, then we talk over phone and say it convincingly or truthfully.
Reply:It depends on the subject matter of the conversation. A face-to-face is preferable because you can see the person's body language; otherwise, the phone works well if you've to say NO! Face-to-face works well if you know the person and both you live within the vicinity. If you do not know the person, it's advisable to take steps to protect yourself by selecting a convenient place where you feel comfortable about your safety. If you're concerned about your safety, and would like to have evidence of the conversation, I suggest that you arm yourself with an audio recorder which can be used to record a telephone or room conversation without the other person knowing. I came across very interesting audio recorders at http://www.uniquehiddencameras.com/audio...

Reply:Face to face communication is much more honest, so to speak. A large portion of communication is non-verbal, which is unavailable by phone.
