Instead, you can use a sentence like <em>\u2018I think that is my train.\u2019<\/em> or <em>\u2018Well, I must be going\u2019<\/em>. These sentences convey the message that the conversation is going to end. And then you just need to say <em>Bye<\/em> before going your separate ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often engage in conversations with strangers we meet at places like railway stations and bus stops.
